Senior Day is always a little bittersweet. It feels more so when the team is not in a bowl game. This coming Saturday against Indiana will be a short Senior Day ceremony. Many senior classes have between 15 and 25 players taking part. Attrition over the years as Purdue has shifted under Jeff Brohm means that this Senior Day and the next one will be short. Purdue currently only has 11 seniors on its roster, and a few of them potentially could return next year because of injuries.
While this class has been small, it has been transformative.
