Found this on gatorcountry via volnation (posted by a Tenn fan/poster). I'll link it so there's no "copyright" issues. These are comments from a Purdue fan board that a Gator fan posted on asking about AA when he was at Purdue. Some good and bad comments:

He hasn't been on a winning team in all of his career including North Canton High School.
I am not sure Franks will get that redshirt if Luke is out for a long time.

He might win a game just b/c of the unknown factor. Thats how we beat Ill on the road a couple years ago. People didn't know what to expect when they played him. Once the tape was out, teams shut him down no problem.

There may be some questions as to whether he will allow that to happen.

You have talent he can play with
We did not
Austin Appleby will be very very good for you
Sorry that he left us but understandable
Our coach is the worst in Purdue's history
That's saying a lot
