Thank You, Football Seniors

Saturday marks the final time that 18 seniors will play in Ross-Ade Stadium. It has been a rough road for them, too. A handful redshirted in Danny Hope’s final season, so Gerad Parker makes the fourth coach they have players under because Patrick Higgins handled the bowl game. Speaking of bowl games, none of this crew will ever play in one. They will be the first senior class since the 1996 season that went without playing in a bowl game. This class has only won 9 games the last four years and only the 5th year guys, who redshirted in 2012, know what it is like to have the Old Oaken Bucket in West Lafayette.
