GAME 6 PURDUE vs. OHIO STATE / OCTOBER 6 PAGE 2 Head Coach JOE TILLER Joe Tiller has put Purdue back on the college football map. With each passing year, Joe Tiller further solidifies his reputation as one of the greatest coaches in Purdue football history - perhaps the greatest. Taking the reins of a program that had just one winning season (with the help of a forfeit victory) and no bowl game appearances since 1984, Tiller has engineered nine bowl berths in 10 years, an average of more than seven wins per season and a Big Ten championship in 2000. Tiller s teams have qualified for nine of the 14 bowl games in school history: 1997 Alamo, 1998 Alamo, 2000 Outback, 2001 Rose, 2001 Sun, 2002 Sun, 2004 Capital One, 2004 Sun and 2006 Champs Sports. As for Tiller, who was assistant head coach at Purdue from 1983 to 1986, his 10-plus-year record with the Boilermakers stands at 80-49, a snappy.620 winning percentage. His 16-plus-year head coaching record is 119-79-1, a.601 winning percentage. In Big Ten games, he is 50-32, a.610 winning percentage. On Nov. 13, 2004, Tiller won his 100th career game with a 24-17 victory over Ohio State at Ross- Ade Stadium. Tiller served as head coach of the East team in the East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 15, 2005, and earned a 45-27 victory. He played for the West team in 1963 and became just the fifth individual to play and coach in the Shrine Game. During the 2002 season, Tiller became the second-winningest coach in school history, both for all games and Big Ten games. He trails only Hall of Famer Jack Mollenkopf, who had 84 wins and 57 Big Ten wins from 1956 to 1969. Tiller also ranks second to Mollenkopf with 129 games coached.

Dedicated on Nov. 22, 1924, before the Boilermakers defeated intrastate rival Indiana 26-7, Ross-Ade Stadium has witnessed Purdue post a record on its home field of 250-145-13, a.629 winning percentage. The stadium is named for its two principal benefactors, alumni David E. Ross, late president of the Board of Trustees, and the late George Ade, playwright and humorist. Ross conceived the idea for the stadium and selected the site. He and Ade purchased and presented to the university the 65- acre tract on which the stadium is located. In recent years, Ross-Ade has undergone numerous changes. From 2001 to 2003, the stadium saw a $70 million facelift which included the sixlevel press box and the widening of the concourse to help ease fan traffic. In 2006, a cold-tolerant strain of Bermuda grass was put in place.

GRADE A PROTECTION Purdue quarterbacks have been sacked merely four times, tied for the second-fewest in the Big Ten, while throwing 208 passes, the most in the conference. Minnesota leads the conference with three sacks allowed out of 206 passing attempts, and Ohio State has surrendered four sacks out of 136 passing attempts. The Boilermakers average of 0.80 sacks allowed per game is tied for 11th in the nation (also six other schools). Last season, Purdue ranked third in the Big Ten and tied for 22nd nationally with an average of 1.43 sacks allowed per game (20 sacks in 541 passing attempts). The Boilermakers are starting a new left guard (Zach Reckman) and a new right tackle (Zach Jones), while two-year starting right tackle Sean Sester now is at left tackle. Center Robbie Powell and right guard Jordan Grimes are in their same positions as a year ago. MANY HAPPY RETURNS Purdue ranks third in the nation with an average of 31.3 yards per kickoff return (20 returns for 626 yards) and shares the top spot with two returns for touchdowns (also Arkansas and Hawai i). The Boilermakers two kickoff returns for touchdowns have come from Dorien Bryant (91 yards at Toledo) and Desmond Tardy (95 yards at Minnesota). It marks the first time Purdue has had two different players return kickoffs for touchdowns in a season in school history. The Boilermakers had two returns for touchdowns by Stan Brown in 1969 and two by Otis Armstrong in 1972. The school record is three all by Brown in 1970. Tardy s touchdown came on his firstever return and was Purdue s first to open a game since Stan Brown had a 93-yarder at Michigan State on Nov. 7, 1970. Jimmy Smith had a 100-yarder vs. Stanford on Sept. 12, 1981, on the first time the Boilermakers touched the ball; however, it came after a Stanford touchdown. NCAA Kickoff Return Leaders Team Kansas... 32.8 Kent State... 31.4 Purdue... 31.3 Hawai i... 30.8 Oklahoma... 28.5 MORE HAPPY RETURNS Dorien Bryant ranks seventh in the country with an average of 32.4 yards per kickoff return (13 returns for 421 yards). He was named the Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week after returning a 91-yard kickoff return for a touchdown at Toledo on Sept. 1, 2007. It marked the first Player of the Week honor in Bryant s career and the 19th special teams recognition in school history. The last returner to be chosen was Jerome Brooks after his 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown at Notre Dame on Oct. 2, 2004. Bryant s return for a touchdown was the second of his career, following a 95-yarder vs. Northwestern on Oct. 15, 2005. Stan Brown (1968-70) holds the school career record with five kickoff returns for touchdowns. In addition to his 91-yard touchdown, Bryant has returns of 60, 58, 40 and 33 yards this season.
