SCOUTING THE BOILERMAKERS <\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

Purdue visits Happy Valley for the first time under third-year head coach Danny Hope on Saturday, making its first vist since 2007. Beginning the 2011 season with a 2-2 non-conference record, the Boilermakers kicked off their Big Ten schedule last week in West Lafayette with a decisive 45-17 victory over Minnesota. Purdue jumped out to a 31-0 lead and held a four-touchdown advantage over Minnesota at halftime en route to securing a 1-0 start to conference play for the second consecutive season. The Boilermaker offense amassed 217 yards rushing while the defense forced three turnovers and held the Golden Gophers offense to just 213 total yards and no touchdowns. Purdue ranks fifth in the Big Ten in both scoring (32.6 ppg) and total offense (412.2 ypg). The Boilermakers have started quickly, scoring 51 points in the first quarter and 48 in the second. Junior quarterback Caleb TerBush has completed 64.2 percent of his passes (75 of 117) for 787 yards with five <\/span>touchdowns and two interceptions. Robert Marve is 20 of 36 for 197 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions in three games. \u00a0Senior wide receiver Justin Siller leads the Boil\u00adermakers with 20 receptions while junior Antavian Edison has a team-high 280 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 16.5 yards per catch average. Wideout O.J. Ross has 18 catches for 187 yards and one score. The Purdue rushing attack features a trio of ball carriers. Junior Ralph Bolden is the team\u2019s top ground gainer with 273 yards on 57 carries and three touchdowns. Junior Akeem Shavers (44-242-4 TDs) and freshman Akeem Hunt (18-152-2 TDs) are also big contributors and TerBush has gained 120 yards and scored once on the ground this year. \u00a0Senior linebacker Joe Holland leads the Boiler\u00admaker defense in both solo (25) and total tackles (36) and he has a trio of tackles for loss. Junior defen\u00adsive tackle Kawann Short, who has a team-high six tackles for loss, is vital to the Purdue run defense. In the secondary, senior safety Albert Evans ranks sec\u00adond on the team with 31 tackles while sophomore cornerback Ricardo Allen has two of Purdue\u2019s three interceptions. Senior kicker Carson Wiggs, who has booted the top four longest field goals program history (59, 55, 53 and 52 yards), has connected on 7-of-11 at\u00adtempts in 2011. Sophomore Corey Webster leads the Big Ten in punting, averaging 48.1 yards per kick.<\/p>\n
