Wednesday marked the 14th and final stop of our 2015 BTN summer bus tour across Big Ten country.
The final stop brought us to West Lafayette, Indiana, to watch the Purdue Boilermakers in action.
Darrell Hazell enters his third season as Purdue's head coach, looking to improve on last year's 3-9 (1-7 in Big Ten) mark.
Get host Dave Revsine, BTN analyst Gerry DiNardo and BTN.com senior writer Tom Dienhart?s tweets from the Purdue practice below.
Had a chance to talk to Coach Hazell before practice - he is really excited about his OL and his LB crew

Liking the looks of 2 JC transfer WR's at Purdue - Young and Mahoungou should both be able to help right away

Frosh LB Markus Bailey looks like he'll be a factor for Purdue - LB coach Marcus Freeman giving him a lot of feedback

The Boilers look good up the middle on DL - but DE will be an issue - particularly early with Robinson out

BTN Bus Tour #Purdue - Obvious growth in the 3rd year of DH's program. O Line best they've been and that's a good place to start.

BTN Bus Tour #Purdue WR group impressive physically and potentially. Will have some chances for explosive plays.

BTN Bus Tour #Purdue The more off formations than the 1st & 2nd year give them a better chance for big plays and getting playmakers the ball

BTN Bus Tour #Purdue - The QB battle is over but one result of it is it looks like they have two QB. Appleby starter but Blough ready to go

Austin Appleby was named starting QB for @BoilerFootball on Tuesday. He will work more spread sets with multiple WRs. pic.twitter.com/16CZzAA9Hf

Led by @CoachJimBridge, the @BoilerFootball o-line should be a strength. pic.twitter.com/qFtEPUYNff
