The Ryan Walters-era started about where every other head coach has started at Purdue: A loss. There were some bright spots that shows the staff is a good one but may have also highlighted the limitations that have been placed on them in year one of what many may not have seen as a rebuild. There is hope that the jump from week one to week two can be a big one for the Purdue Boilermakers now that they have a game under their belt under this new staff.
The Boilers will head to Blacksburg, Virginia to take on another program who is seeing the need to rebuild under second year head coach Brent Pry.
