Notes

- Senior transfer Kam Brown makes his first appearance after missing most of camp with an injury.

Notes
- It’s rare to not have a single player drop from the offensive or defensive depth chart, but it appears Purdue made it through Indiana State without a major injury
- Illinois transfer Trey Smith makes his depth chart debut at rush end.
- Redshirt freshman man/mountain Chops Harkless makes his debut at nose tackle.
- Similar to the offense, the biggest news is Georgia transfers and presumed DB #1 is still recovering from a late camp foot injury. Freshman

- I’m still not sure how the field goal kicking works out. I assume Freehill takes the long-distance attempts.
