Quarterback Curtis Painter is one of the best in the conference, this will catch up for 2008 as a season to improve for the Boilmakers.
Last season for coach Joe Tiller's, so certainly there is a driving force for the players to send him out in style.
At Big Ten media day, Penn State coach Joe Paterno spoke about how coach Tiller brought a whole new concept to the style of play in the conference, something that other coaches around the league have tried to copy.
We are looking at Central Michigan game on Sept. 20.
The Boilermakers also play at Notre Dame, home against Penn State, at Ohio State then at Northwestern all in a row.
They also play Michigan and at Michigan State in back-to-back weeks. Expecting a fantasy ending to Tiller's period in West Lafayette isn't pragmatic.
