Robert Marve granted sixth year of eligibility
At this point, Purdue will have four QBs next season who have started: Rob Henry, Caleb TerBush, Robert Marve and Sean Robinson. Henry, who will be coming off an ACL injury, is a good runner who had a couple of decent games two years ago before getting his hand stepped on at Ohio State. TerBush started most of the games last year and was somewhat of a game manager. Marve seems like the most talented of the bunch, but he has a tendency to make bad decisions. Robinson redshirted last year, and will probably be fourth on the depth chart. Austin Appleby, a promising recruit, will also be on campus this fall, but he will probably redshirt.
It will be interesting to see how committed Coach Hope is to the two QB system when he has the option of playing three or four of them every game.

Seems fair, although...
….they really should grant his ACL a 7th year of eligibility, as a precautionary measure.
not many of us are cheering...
I would have been happier had he just moved on…

Hand stepped on? Ouch.
I do remember Marve scoring a rushing TD in OT, after he practically guaranteed an overtime in the first place by throwing one of the dumbest interceptions of the entire season…

that is a bit understated...
He had his finger nearly ripped off after getting it caught in a facemask. While Purdue kept calling it just a cut to the media, in actuality it was severely broken… to the point he still didn’t have feeling in it at the beginning of this season…you know…before tearing his acl… not sure how it has progressed since then.

Foolish kid, taunting the ACL God's like that
This won’t end well.

Given the AIRBHG shenanigans of late, I'd have thought the ACL jokes would have been back burner'd. Guess not.
