Purdue coach Darrell Hazell understands the stakes. cheap jerseys .Hes changed both coordinators, simplified the offense to make it better suited for quarterback David Blough and has seen the athletic department offer creative ticket packages to attract bigger crowds to Ross-Ade Stadium. The missing element, of course, is winning games -- something Hazell expects to change quickly in 2016.Its important for this team to get off to a good start, he said Sunday. If we do, watch out. There is something to be said about finding ways to win.Victory celebrations have been sparse during Hazells three-year tenure.His .167 winning percentage is the worst of any Boilermakers football coach who lasted more than one season. Two of his six wins were against Indiana State, an FCS school. He is 3-29 against the FBS, 2-22 against the Big Ten and, after a third straight loss to archrival Indiana, some fans started campaigning for Hazells ouster.Last season, the Boilermakers (2-10, 1-7 Big Ten) finished last in their division -- the third straight time -- and the constant struggle on the field has created a steady decline in attendance, too.Hazell knows thats a legacy that must change, especially now that Mike Bobinski has been hired as Purdues next athletic director.So after overhauling his staff last winter, Hazell expects his players to take advantage of a potentially friendly September schedule -- three winnable home games -- to get the program righted.Its hugely important for us to be 3-0 going into our (Oct. 1) Big Ten opener at Maryland, and in the process, learn how to win games and finish games, running back Markell Jones said.Here are some other things to watch this season:QUATERBACK CONTINUITYBlough returns as the incumbent quarterback after starting the final eight games last season. Quarterback continuity has not been a trademark of Hazells teams in West Lafayette, Indiana. Each season, Hazell has plugged the incumbent starter into the lineup only to make a midseason change, turning the Cradle of Quarterbacks into the Carousel of Quarterbacks. Hazell likely cant afford to make another midseason switch.KEEPING UP WITH JONESJones burst onto the scene as a freshman last season and was expected to split carries with rising junior D.J. Knox this fall, giving the Boilermakers a strong one-two punch. Those plans changed when Knox tore the ACL in his left knee during the Boilermakers spring game. With Knox out for the entire season, Jones should thrive in his role as the feature back.ON THE DEFENSIVEMaybe Purdue didnt have the Big Tens worst defense last season but it wasnt great. New coordinator Ross Els has brought in a new philosophy in hopes of fixing a unit that allowed 36.5 points, 214.9 yards rushing and 458.3 total yards per game. It wont be easy, and it may not be fully ready in time for that big September run.KEY GAMESHazell is correct: A fast start is important before Big Ten play begins. With that in mind, these games are key for the Boilermakers confidence: Sept. 3, Eastern Kentucky, Sept. 10, Cincinnati; Sept. 24, Nevada. And of course, the big one every year for Purdue is Indiana, which this year is Nov. 26.SEASON OPENERAs Hazell emphasizes the need to start fast and build confidence, Eastern Kentucky could throw a wrench into that plan. Senior quarterback Bennie Coney led the Colonels to a playoff appearance and five games with at least 41 points last season. And now he must fend off Maty Mauk, a transfer from Missouri. Either way, it will be a prime test for Els new defense.PREDICTIONThe tough times continue for Purdue: 3-9. cheap nfl jerseys . Fellow centre Pavel Datsyuk remains out because of a concussion. Zetterberg has 11 goals and 19 assists for a team-high 30 points, and Datsyuk has a team-high 12 goals and 11 assists. wholesale nfl jerseys . 8 Iowa State on Saturday, sending the Cyclones to their third consecutive loss.

COLLEGE FOOTBALLMINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota football coach Tracy Claeys doubled down on his support for players who boycotted practices and threatened to skip a bowl game if 10 teammates suspended after a sexual assault investigation werent reinstated.Speaking publicly for the first time since a standoff between 110 Golden Gophers football players and the administration, Claeys said he understands the players frustration with a Title IX investigation that they felt was inherently unfair to teammates who were accused of assaulting a woman at an off-campus dorm in September.As kids, they have no problems being held to a higher standard than the university requires and should require, Claeys said after Minnesotas practice.
