Backups, Burke, buyouts, and basketball: A Bucket Game Q&A

Travis Miller of Hammer & Rails answers our questions about Purdue football, leading up to the Bucket Game. As you can probably guess, he's not happy about the team's performance this season, or the future under Darrell Hazell. He's much more optimistic about basketball though.

1. For the second straight week, the Hoosiers look to be facing a backup QB from a two-win team on the road on Saturday. With David Blough likely out for the Boilers, what can IU fans expect from Austin Appleby in relief?

Appleby wasn't too bad last week against Iowa and if not for a critical drop on a sure touchdown by DeAngelo Yancey he would have led Purdue to a 20-20 tie in the third quarter.
