When Purdue hosts Nevada this weekend, it will be looking for just its fourth win over an FBS opponent since the start of the 2013 season. But while the program has been mired in misery for a few years now, it has excelled in one area: producing starting quarterbacks. Even for traditional SEC powers.
Hard as it might be to believe, two former Boilermakers will be starting in the SEC this weekend: Danny Etling at LSU and Austin Appleby at Florida. Both were displaced as starters in West Lafayette and were on the team at the same time as current Purdue starter David Blough.
