Ifs Shape Purdue Outlook for 1976 Football Season
Purdue coach Bob DeMoss sees many ifs as the Boilermakers build around a junior core. Healthier Otis Armstrong and a strong running game hinge on an improved offensive line and quarterback Gary Danielson finding targets like Ashley Bell and Darryl Stingley. Defensive front and backfield experience add optimism, but inexperience at key spots could leave Purdue vulnerable to passing teams. The schedule opens against Washington and Notre Dame, with eight Big Ten games to follow and Ohio State not on the slate.
