Purdue coach Joe Tiller says he is impressed with Iowa as the teams get set to meet in Iowa City on Saturday. Tiller says Kirk Ferentz has tried to sell a physical style of football and the players have bought in. He says they’re particularly impressive along their front lines.Tiller says the Hawks combine strength upfront with talented skill players and that’s whey they’re 4-1.The game is a homecoming of sorts for Purdue quarterback Kyle Orton who starred at Southeast Polk high school. Tiller says while Orton will be excited for the game the motive is not revenge. He players often times try to prove something to someone who didn’t recruit them, but he says Orton is pretty level headed and that shouldn’t be the case.
