Purdue’s steady veteran QB who could keep the offense on schedule
In the 2012 season, Caleb TerBush gave Purdue a veteran presence at quarterback, throwing for 1,905 yards with 13 touchdowns and 6 interceptions while completing 61.7% of his passes. He was more steady than flashy, with enough poise to run the offense and enough toughness to start every game that season. The appeal: he brought leadership, experience, and a workable passing game; the concern: he wasn’t a high-ceiling creator or dynamic runner, so he fit best in a structured, timing-based attack.
