Quote of the Day
“They have to communicate amongst themselves and not have, let’s say, a coach out there communicating to them. And now there’s a fine line between coaching at practice and letting them play, and we’re finding that. But there’s also ways, I think, that we have found just trying to make it more exactly like game day, because we’re doing some things in practice.”
– Purdue defensive coordinator Mike Scherer on the secondary
