With Hunter at quarterback, Purdue looking to beef up its running game

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind (AP) Purdue football coach Fred Akers doesn’t know who will line up at running back this season, and that’s just the way he wants it for now. The Boilermakers, still looking for their first winning season as Akers begins his fourth year at Purdue, apparently solved one offensive problem with the emergence of quarterback Eric Hunter late last season. BUT THE TEAM’S anemic running game is finally showing signs of improvement, too, and Akers’ first task is to sort through the list of candidates to find out who’s best. “I hope we have a tough time deciding,” he said. “That would mean we have a good class, and we haven’t had that kind of runners yet.” Purdue’s most experienced runner is senior Jerome Sparkman, who started every game in last year’s 3-8 season. But Sparkman rushed for only 451 yards and one touchdown, and backups Tony Vinson and Earl Coleman combined for only 144 yards between them. “OF THE THREE, Tony and Earl probably improved the most in the spring,” said Akers. Vinson, who also caught 30 passes for 327 yards, will be used exclusively as a runner, he said.

COACH FRED AKERS Hunter can’t do it alone

“He showed a lot of improvement, and he’s fast, too,” Akers said. “He and a couple of the incoming freshmen could give us a new attack. The biggest question is getting the running to go along with Hunter. I don’t care how good he is,

he can’t do it by himself.” HUNTER STARTED the final four games last season after Steve Letnich and then Jeff Lesniewicz were ineffective in the Boilermakers’ 1-6 start. Purdue lost its seventh straight game, to Big Ten champ Michigan 42-27 in Hunter’s debut as a starter, but the Boilermakers won two of their final three games over Northwestern and Indiana. Hunter, who passed for 968 yards and eight touchdowns as a starter and totaled 1,368 yards and 11 touchdowns for the season, was named Big Ten freshman of the year. “He’s going to be better this year, he’s going to improve through recognition,” Akers said of the 6-foot-4, 210-pound sophomore. “The big difference is just executing, having a guy like Hunter recognize (defenses). He had so many opportunities he just didn’t capitalize on. He’ll recognize ’em this year. “WITH ERIC, WE want him to scramble, when it’s necessary, but we want him to execute the offense. It’ll make him a more dangerous player.” The defense, Akers said, should be Purdue’s strength, despite a broken foot this summer to linebacker Jim Schwantz, who was second in the Big Ten in quarter-

back sacks. Schwantz underwent surgery and could be back by the second game of the season. The chief reason for Akers’ optimism is the return of senior linebacker Darrin Trieb, who led the league in tackles. “He’s one of the premier linebackers in the country, and this should be his best year. If it is, he should be something else,” Akers said. “I wouldn’t trade him for any linebacker in the Big Ten.” BUT PERHAPS THE player who impressed Akers the most in spring practice was lineman Jeff Zgonina, who started all 11 games as a freshman last year. “In our testing, he had a vertical jump of 37 and a half inches at 275 pounds, the guy’s an athlete.” Another top defensivve player is senior defensive back Steve Jackson, who led the Big Ten with 15 passes broken up last season and is one short of tying the Purdue career record of 32 passes broken up. Another area of concern, however, is the punting game after the graduation of Big Ten leader Shawn McCarthy. Akers plans to use junior Eric Bruun, who averaged 44.3 yards a puntas a high school senior but has yet to see action with the Boilermakers. “Until he gets a little experience, all of us are going to be a little anxious,” Akers said.
