A lot of people were thinking he wouldn't do what he needed to do to be back. It's good to see a young man fight through difficult times.

Kyle is at home (in San Antonio) taking classes, so he can get squared away academically. We hope that, when it's all said and done, he gets healthy, that he stays on track academically and that he'll be here in the summer to work out with us. He's a very important part of this team.

You play two different quarterbacks during the year, you're going to have problems with consistency. You hope Curtis Painter continues to grow and improve, because we think he has a chance to be awfully special.

We didn't have to block some crazy looks which may have created problems for us. But at the same time, they did a pretty good job.

Sometimes when you have success over and over, you lose that hunger of wanting to be successful. The realization is that things only happen when you put the time and energy into it.

I am excited about this opportunity and appreciative of the confidence that Coach Tiller is showing me by giving me the opportunity. I look forward to continuing the success that Purdue has experienced on the offensive side of the ball the last nine years.
