Quote of the Day
“(Barry Odom is) aggressive, let me tell you. We never want to leave anything out there. If there’s opportunity for us to take advantage of something, he’s all in on that. (The) thing about fakes and surprises, it’s got to be the right moment. I’ve been doing it a long time, and he’s always asking in the game. So, he’s wanting to take risks, and that’s good, too. We just don’t want to leave nothing out there. We want to give our team the best chance to win, and we’ll do whatever it takes to do that.”
– Purdue special teams coach James Shibest
