Running Backs

A tough call, but the edge has to go tothe Boilermakers, whose straight ahead ground game fits their backs to a tee.

Receivers

If the Irish look to more receivers than just Derrick Mayes, they may be all right. Brian Alford and Craig Allen are tough for Purdue.

Offensive Line

The Boilermakers are enormous across all five positions, and, with the loss of Jeremy Akers on offense, the Irish lose a big part of their nucleus.
