Each Friday before Ross-Ade Stadium comes alive with cheering Boilermakers, a staff member who is integral to game day will be featured in Purdue Today's Game Starters series. This week's Game Starter is Scott Horton, creative director for Hall of Music Productions and video director for every home football game. Read more...
