Best Case Scenerio for Purdue - Appleby starts every game for Purdue and throws for over 3,000 yards. That's 250 yards per game. If Appleby can combine this with a completion % nearing 65% and a for 20 something TDs and INTs in the single digits - Purdue should win about 7 games.
Worst Case Scenerio - Appleby struggles or gets hurt and Purdue has to break in Blough. It's been pretty clear through camp that Blough was given his shot to make a move, and he just wasn't ready (no shame in that).
Most Likely Scenerio - Appleby starts at QB and solidifies the position for 2015. He'll throw for pretty close to 3000 yards but I don't think he'll break 60% in the completion percentage - he'll get close, but I think he'll err more on the side of caution this year and throw the ball away. I think his play will be a big factor in deciding if we play in a bowl game - he just needs to be steady and not throw bad INTs. There were plays to be made last year, not big plays either, just get the ball from point A to point B and give Purdue a competent passing game and enough to hit for the scoring plays that can take some pressure off the defense.
