Quote of the day

“With a name like Nitro, you got to be a dude, right. He’s still learning the system. I think he’s really, really explosive. He’s got some separation skills that a lot of our guys don’t have, and it’s just natural for him. And he’s really got good hands, as well. He just needs reps in our system and learning it, and as he continues to learn, he’s going to get better and better and add more to our group. But he’s a dude. The name fits him.”

-Purdue WR coach Cornell Ford on WR Nitro Tuggle, a transfer from Georgia
