125+ Former Players Expected At Spring Game

The Boiling Point: Purdue expects somewhere between 125-130 former players to be in attendance for Saturday’s spring football “game.”

One of Danny Hope’s main focuses so far at Purdue, at least off the field, has been to get former players to come back more often in order to help build his sense of “family” for the team. As part of that, every year more and more former players have returned for the spring game. This season at least 125 former players are expected back, including Kyle Orton, Billy Dicken, Stu Schweigert, Rosevelt Colvin and Bob Griese. I will say, one big, currently unemployed quarterback’s name is missing, and I’m not talking about Brandon Hance.
