Purdue QB Rob Henry tears ACL in right knee
August 24, 2011

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.?The Cradle of Quarterbacks is looking for reinforcements. Again.

Purdue announced Wednesday that quarterback Rob Henry had torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during practice a day earlier.

School officials did not say how much time they expect Henry to miss pending more tests.

Just last fall, Henry took over the offense when starting quarterback Robert Marve tore the ACL in his left knee. Henry was listed as the No. 1 quarterback on Purdue's depth chart since practice opened earlier this month.

"Rob Henry is a huge part of our football program, our heart goes out to him," coach Danny Hope said in a statement.

His absence could open the door for Marve, the transfer from Miami, to reclaim the starting job. But it's unclear whether Marve is 100 percent just yet.

Marve bruised his left knee Sept. 18 against Ball State, was cleared to play and then tore his ACL the following week against Toledo.

Henry replaced Marve the next week and led Purdue to conference-opening victories over Northwestern and Minnesota. Against Ohio State, Henry cut the index finger on his throwing hand and was in and out of the lineup afterward.

Many expected the battle between Henry and Marve to be the most watched on campus this fall.

"It's been a lot of rehab," Marve said earlier this month. "It's been a lot of time focusing on my knee, trying to get quads and my hamstrings strong again around my joints. I'm still fighting the battle a little bit."

I will be making the trip to this game with my wife. We will be staying in Frankfort the night before because all of the hotels in the Lafayette area are obviously sold out. Game is a 1PM game (allegedly) so that should leave enough time for us to drive back to Cincinnati by a decent hour following. We will be arriving in Lafayette probably around 10 or so in the morning, and will probably park in the Gold or Black lot and setup the tailgate for lunch. Anyone else going to this game that wants to set something up? I will have stuff like cornhole, grill, TV, etc...

Oh and if you have not treated yourself before, eat at Scotty's Brewhouse (there is one on campus and also one in Indianapolis which we will be eating at on our way on Friday). Stopped there on the way back from the Wiscy game last year (boo) and it was pretty fantastic, highly recommended.
