Starting Quarterback Against Iowa?

Purdue head coach Joe Tiller has not yet said who the starting quarterback will be this weekend against Iowa. He believes that Curtis Painter has recovered enough from his shoulder injury that he should be able to start for the Boilermakers. If Painter is able to play this weekend, I would bet that he will be the starting quarterback for Purdue.

However, Painter has not recovered perfectly from his injury yet. It was just on Sunday that he was able to put his arm above his head and start throwing a couple of passes. He most likely will not play the entire game. He won't be able to throw the deep ball as well as he used to, but Tiller believes that he can still get the job done as quarterback.

Siller is recovering from a couple of injuries from the Michigan State game. He left the game with a hyper extended knee and a bruised sternum. The team doctors don't think the injuries are serious and they cleared him for practice on Sunday. There is no doubt that Justin Siller will be ready to play this weekend.

Quarterbacks Curtis Painter and Justin Siller are battling in practice to see which one is going to be able to perform the best this weekend at Iowa. Joe Tiller likes his senior quarterback Curtis Painter so if Painter has recovered enough and is able to play, he will be the starting quarterback for the Boilers. I would expect Justin Siller to take over a quarterback throughout the game.
