Purdue has its most important practice of the spring coming up Saturday with the jersey scrimmage. It'll have practices on Tuesday and Thursday, too.
Before those, though, here's an updated look on the unofficial (charted by us) QB numbers through the first eight practices:
David Blough ... 15-for-32 in perimeter, 35-for-57 (61 percent) in team. Only one interception. (Safe to call him the "starter" now, I think, with all the first-team reps he's been getting and, also, that's how Tim Lester introduced him to a class at Sunnyside on Friday.)
Elijah Sindelar ... 17-for-31 in perimeter; 39-for-58 (67 percent) in team. Five interceptions.
Sindelar's percentage is a tick better than Blough's in team work, but Sindelar also has more interceptions and he's also going against the second-team defense for the most part.
Have been impressed with both QBs in throwing the deep ball, and, as we addressed in either the radio show or "The Day After" at some point this spring, it's been encouraging to see the QBs more often than not giving receivers a chance to make plays on balls instead of throwing out of bounds, which happened too frequently last season.
