Who is starting for Purdue football against Fresno State?

Lafayette Journal & Courier
WEST LAFAYETTE − The depth chart for Purdue football's season opener is finally official.
And, as expected, Hudson Card will lead the Boilermaker offense behind center.
However, there were some question marks on the top two at each spot and now we know.
Here's the official depth chart, released Monday morning ahead of Saturday's noon kickoff against Fresno State at Ross-Ade Stadium.
