Purdue held its first scrimmage of fall camp on Saturday. Ryan Walters discussed the scrimmage, saying the Boilermakers accomplished what they wanted.
The first big test of Purdue's fall camp came on Saturday, as the Boilermakers had their first scrimmage of the offseason. Coach Ryan Walters was pleased with what he saw from his squad over the weekend, calling it a productive afternoon.
Walters' goal wasn't necessarily to put the best product on the field Saturday. Instead, he wanted to see what Purdue's depth looked like heading into the 2024 season — a main concern from last year's 4-8 campaign. "Stayed healthy and that was the main key. Obviously, dealt with a few banged-up guys. So, to give some of our stalwart guys two days of rest was beneficial in the long term," Walters said. "Saw a lot of clean football, a lot of competitive plays made and guys playing the ball the right way — the way we want them to play. So, I was happy with the work we got."
He's also beginning to see some leaders emerge on the practice field — a really good sign as Purdue's opening kickoff against Indiana State creeeps closer.
