DARRELL HAZELL FILE Darrell Hazell was named the 35th head coach in Purdue football history on Dec. 5, 2012. He signed a six- year contract with the Boilermakers. Hazell is in his fourth year at Purdue after spending two seasons as the head coach at Kent State. Hazell (HAY-zull) was named the 2012 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year after leading Kent State to arguably its most sucessful season ever, with an 11-3 record and MAC East Division championship. The 11 wins set a school record. Prior to his time at Kent State, Hazell spent seven seasons at Ohio State, where he served as an assistant head coach and wide receivers coach under Jim Tressel. Hazell has spent 30 years in the college coaching ranks, and has previous stints as Rutgers (2001-03), West Virginia (1999-2000), the U.S. Military Academy (1997-98), Western Michigan (1995-96), Pennsylvania (1992-94), Eastern Illinois (1988) and Oberlin (1986-87, 1989-91). Hazell graduated in 1986 from Muskingum College with a B.A. in speech communications and business. He was a three-time all-conference selection as a wide receiver and an All-American as a senior. A native of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, Hazell (born April 14, 1964) and Annmarie have a son, Kyle.

CONFERENCE ROAD OPENERS

Darrell Hazell is looking for his second win in three years in the first conference road game of the year. Purdue beat Illinois 38-27 in 2014, before falling at No. 2 Michigan State 24-21 last year.

• While fortunately no lives were lost, more than 1,000 structures were damaged, including 200 deemed a total loss. More than 15,000 people were without power and more than 200 needed at least temporary shelter.

• Though just one week before the season-opener, Malone and his wife, Ann, cleared their Saturday, Aug. 27 schedule and drove over to help clean up.

• Malone said afterwards, “It was very satisfying. I’m not sure how much we did to help, because there’s so much work to be done, but we cleared three or four yards of debris and cut a couple trees down. But we had a really good day.”

• That was not the first time the Malones have stepped in after a disaster.

• Malone, who came to Purdue from the New Orleans Saints, opened his speech at the Purdue Football Preseason Banquet on Aug. 19, expected to be a quick overview of the offense, by asking the Boilermaker community for

any help for his friends and neighbors back in Louisiana who are dealing with the tragic flooding.

• Malone was also helping in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, as he took the job in February 2006.

• Malone said Tuesday, “There was never a year in New Orleans without having something. So, it becomes a part of the way you think. The fact is that you really don’t need to do a whole lot to help people who are in need. They really appreciate it and you get a lot more satisfaction of doing it than they probably do out of you helping them.”

»BOILERMAKERS IN THE COMMUNITY• The Purdue football program is

incredibly involved with community service initiatives, as players and coaches regularly volunteer their time.

• The Boilermakers amassed more than 500 hours of community service from January to August of 2016 and have made more than 500 appearances at events and outings over the past five years.

• They have been involved with mission trips to Haiti and South Africa, pioneered community projects like Dream Season and IMPACT, and are regular visitors to local elementary schools.

»THE LINEBACKERS• Purdue returns four linebackers who

have each started at least nine games in their careers prior to this season.

• Those four linebackers, Danny Ezechukwu, Andy James Garcia, Ja’Whaun Bentley and Jimmy Herman, came up with a combined 232 tackles, 19.5 for loss, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, an interception and a touchdown last year.

»Ja’Whaun Bentley (Jr.)• Bentley was voted a team captain Aug.

19.• The rest of his accolades are on page 5.

»Danny Ezechukwu (Jr.)• Ezechukwu started all 12 games last

year.• The Academic All-Big Ten selection

finished second on the team with 79 total tackles, 40 solo, with two tackles

»Andy James Garcia (Sr.)• Garcia appeared in all 12 games last

year, including nine starts.• He finished the year third on the team

• Hudson’s fumble recovery came against Nebraska when he returned it 27 yards inside the Nebraska 20-yard line.

freshmen with game experience.• Bailey, who looks to play a significant

role in this year’s defense, appeared in the first three games last season before a knee injury sidelined him for the season.

• Bailey totaled 12 tackles, including nine solo, before the injury.

• He made his first career start vs. EKU and finished with four tackles.

• Bailey started against Cincinnati and led the team with nine tackles, including a career-high seven solo stops.

• He has 16 tackles this season.

»THE TRAIN IS COMING HERE• Head coach Darrell Hazell saw a

billboard on north I-65 towards campus that read, “The Train Is Coming.”

• “The first year I saw it I said, ‘It’s OK.’ The second and third year I said, ‘You know what, it’s starting to bother me a little bit.’ In the back of my mind, I thought: ‘At some point in time the train has to get here. It has to arrive.’

“That sign is no longer there.”-Hazell• What is Hazell referring to? It’s time to

finish every game.• The Boilermakers are a lot closer than

it may seem, evident by the program’s 1-7 record in one-possession games in the last three years, including 0-3 last year.

• Purdue was within a possession in the final quarter in five games last season:

»at Marshall - led with three minutes

to go. »vs. Bowling Green - had the ball at

BG15 in tie game with three minutes to go.

»at Michigan State - had the ball across midfield down three with 1:30 to go.

»at Northwestern - game was tied with five minutes remaining.

»vs. Indiana - Purdue was within eight with 11 minutes left in the game.

• Those games didn’t go Purdue’s way, but now, with so much experience returning on both sides of the ball, “the train has to get here. It has to arrive.”

• Purdue may have shown a glimpse of that against Nevada, coming back from a 14-3 deficit to win, including pitching a shutout in the second half.

»Breaking Down The Production• Purdue scored 301 points last season,

including 248 by position players (non-kickers). Of those 248, 186 points return (75 percent). The breakdown of last year’s scoreing by current class:
