BY DOUG GRIFFITHS DGriffiths@GoldandBlack.com UNCHARTERED WATERS For the second time in Coach Joe Tiller’s eight seasons at Purdue, the Boilermakers are ranked in the top 10 nationally. Purdue cracked the top 10 in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls Oct. 3. The Boilermakers are ranked No. 9 by AP and No. 10 by ESPN/USA Today. The last time Purdue was ranked this high was heading into the Michigan State game in November of 2000 when it was ninth. Before Tiller arrived in West Lafayette, the Boilermakers hadn’t been in the top 10 since the 1980 preseason poll when they were ninth. By the way, the highest Purdue has ever been ranked in the AP was No. 1 in 1968 (They were No. 1 in the coaches poll for one week in 1965). The Boilermakers were No. 2 in , 1943, 1965 and 1967. The highest ranking during Coach Jim Young’s tenure at Purdue was fifth in September of 1979. BOILER BITS FROM NOTRE DAME GAME R Purdue was favored by three points. R The 25-point home loss to Purdue was the third-worst defeat for the Irish in the last 43 years. Only Florida State (37-0) and USC (45-14) have defeated Notre Dame by wider margins on its home field during that span. R Quarterback Kyle Orton’s 385yard passing performance marked the first time a Purdue quarterback has ever thrown for 300 yards in Notre Dame Stadium. The other 300-plus performances against the Irish are Billy Dicken (352 yards) in Purdue’s 28-17 win in 1997, Mark Herrmann (351) in a 31-24 loss to the Irish in 1977 and Drew Brees (317) in Purdue’s 28-23 win in 1999. R Orton’s four touchdown passes is the most by a Boilermaker quarterback against Notre Dame since sophomore sensation Len Dawson tossed four scoring passes in a 28-14 PRESENTS AND FINALLY SIMPLY AMAZING Purdue is the only team in Division I-A football that has not yet committed a turnover. Boilermaker win over No. 1 Notre Dame 50 years ago. R Purdue’s 97-yard touchdown connection (Orton to Taylor Stubblefield) was the longest ever by a Notre Dame opponent. R Orton tied an Irish opponent record with four touchdown passes, becoming the 10th player to reach that mark and the first since USC’s Matt Leinart last season. R It marked the first time Purdue posted more than 500 yards in total offense against Notre Dame in the Coach Joe Tiller Era. R Purdue has now won two consecutive games against Notre Dame for the first time since 1984-85. R Purdue’s 41 points are the second-most ever for the Boilermakers in the 76-game series (51-19 on Oct. 1, 1960, at Notre Dame Stadium). R The Boilermakers kept possession of the Shillelagh Trophy, which is annually awarded to the winner of the Purdue-Notre Dame game. The Irish lead the battle for the trophy 30-18.

Orton said, “We’re going to have to keep them off balance, run the ball. But I don’t see us having that much trouble with them.” According to some South Bend radio station reports, Notre Dame coach Tyrone Willingham used that as bulletin board material. The Irish players also made it known that they were going to show how much they disliked Purdue running through their pregame warm-ups last season in Ross-Ade Stadium. BROOKS TAKES IT TO THE HOUSE During fall camp, running back Jerome Brooks told Gold & Black Illustrated that he wanted to become even more of a threat returning kickoffs. “My job last year was to try and get the ball to the 50, but this year I look forward to getting to the house,” he said. Well, he took one to the house on one of the biggest stages there is in one of the biggest games of the season.

down at Notre Dame tied a Notre Dame o p p o n e n t record (now done four times), dating to 1974 when USC’s Anthony Davis went end zone to end zone. Brooks’ return also tied the Purdue record for the longest kickoff return and was the first kickoff runback for a TD by a Boilermaker since Sept. 30, 1995, when Lee Johnson did so against Ball State (99 yards). Following his big day against the Irish, Brooks finds himself No. 6 in career kickoff return yardage at Purdue with 957 yards on 40 runbacks and fifth in career kickoff return average (23.9). R Brooks’ kickoff return against the Irish was the Xerox Unexpected Play-of-the-Day on the NBC telecast.

GO BOILERMAKERS GO BOILERMAKERS GO BOILERMAKERS BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME? With Purdue looking at three and possibly four sellouts for the remainder of the 2004 home season, there has been some conjecture about when the upper deck is going to be built on the east side of Ross- Ade Stadium. When talking with Athletics Director Morgan Burke prior to the Notre Dame game, he said his plan hasn’t changed. “We’ll talk about building the deck when we get to 53,000 season ticket holders, plain and simple,” Burke said. “We are following a path I predicted three years ago in that our season ticket base (42,800 plus 1,900 half-season ticket holders) is growing because people are finding out this fall that they should have bought their tickets in June if they wanted to see some of the Big Ten games.” A key factor in the next phase of the renovation will be whether Purdue has demand for additional suites on the east side. In the plan for adding approximately 8,000 additional seats with the upper deck, is plans for approximately 15 suites under the deck. “We need to sell the suites to pay off the debt service on the cost for Defense G Tack Ast Tot TFL Sack PD FF FR George Hall 4 15 22 37 1-2 0-0 2 0 0 Bobby Iwuchukwu 4 12 17 29 2-10 0-5 1 0 1 Kyle Smith 4 20 9 29 2-7 0-0 1 0 0 Bernard Pollard 4 9 16 25 1-3 1-3 1 1 0 Stanford Keglar 4 9 12 21 0-4 0-3 0 0 0 Ray Edwards 4 8 10 18 5-25 3-22 1 1 1 Brent Grover 4 9 8 17 1-3 0-0 4 0 1 Brian Hickman 4 11 5 16 0-0 0-0 2 0 0 B.

I would rather have a tight ticket as opposed to an occasional sellout and (Coach) Joe (Tiller) and I are on the same page on this. Building the upper deck will be for the next generation and will have to be able to sustain itself long after Joe and I are gone.” Burke said Purdue needs a year to build the new deck and suites can be built in the off-season, but it would have to be preceded by a year of planning and selling the suites. There also has been talks about what to do with the south end zone in terms of either removing the seats, renovating the area or some other project. Burke said that while plans for the south end zone have been discussed, a plan is in its infancy. ORTON FOR HEISMAN Is there a quarterback at any level that is hotter than Kyle Orton is right now?
