Austin Appleby, Gators want to put complete offensive game on display
TAMPA — After a winter storm dumped more than eight inches on Iowa City, the Hawkeyes played Purdue with a chance to claim the Big Ten West championship. They cleared the playing field of snow and the Hawkeyes took down Purdue 40-20, but Kirk Ferentz remembers that day for another reason. Little did Ferentz know, he would see Purdue starting quarterback Austin Appleby again and he’s not too excited about the rematch.
“He played pretty well against us last year quite frankly, so I’m not real enthusiastic about seeing him again,” Ferentz said with a grin. “It’s not like we’ve got a great memory from last year’s game, unfortunately, so no.”
