The inaugural press conference at the new football team auditorium was Monday afternoon. The team announced a depth chart just before the press conference got underway. Here are some noteworthy quotes:
Pat Fitzgerald
- On Purdue: “Huge challenge for us on the road, it’s an extremely well coached team, and any time you play a Big Ten game on the road it’s going to be a challenge.”
- On Purdue’s bowl game: “It was an outstanding, back-and-forth game, their defense got the pick down the stretch. I’m just in general impressed with every Big Ten team in bowl season.
