Purdue started the 2024 season off on the right foot, defeating Indiana State 49-0. Here's what coach Ryan Walters said following the Boilermakers' big win.
Purdue's season started off on the right foot Saturday, dominating Indiana State 49-0 to open the year 1-0. The Boilermakers controlled the game from the opening kickoff to the final whistle.
"The third thing was just respecting the game. We've been harping on, no matter who our opponent is, we're not worried about logos or who they are. It's a nameless, faceless opponent. Just playing our brand of football, regardless of what the score is or who the opponent is. Respect in the preparation, respect in the way you study and watch film, respect in the way you practice and ultimately coming out here on game day and respecting your opponent by playing as hard as you can.
"You still have to be able to signal and operate the way you want to operate on offense and defense. I thought Graham did a good job of communicating with the quarterbacks pre-snap and giving them clues on what to look for. We'll continue to massage it and improve and use it efficiently as the season goes on.": "Really proud of Joey. You talk about resiliency, he embodies that. When we got him here in January, you could tell he hadn't played football in a long time.
"No. 1, to continue to improve on some of our technique and fundamentals and learn from some of the mistakes we made today. Also, to get back healthy and add some guys that were out today, so we can really get going. The season is here for real for real now.
