90 Days to Purdue Football: Bruce Gaston

Earlier this week, we looked at Purdue's star at defensive tackle, Kawann Short. Today, we look at his partner in crime, Bruce Gaston. We are lucky to have 600 pounds of bowl-dozing monsters on our d-line with the two of them, and Gaston showed that he is more than capable of holding his own in the Big Ten after these past two seasons. The two of them are kind of like Mario and Luigi...only instead of goofy plumbers who beat the snot out of Koopas and Gumbas, they are enormous defenders who beat the snot out of offensive linemen, quarterbacks, and any running back that tries to run straight up the middle.
