TerBush committed to Purdue University on September 29, 2007.[7] TerBush was not heavily recruited, and was discovered at Joe Tiller's passing camp, the same way Purdue found former Boilermaker great Kyle Orton.[8]
College career
2008–2010 seasons
During the 2008 season, his first year, TerBush
2011 season
Terbush was named the starter for the
The following week TerBush led the Boilermakers into Penn State, where he completed 12 of 25 passes for 162 yards with a touchdown and two very costly interceptions.[25] TerBush had the Boilermakers in a position to tie the game in the third quarter, when he hit O.J. Ross with a 14-yard touchdown pass to make the game 13–12. The extra point was missed, spoiling Purdue's momentum. Purdue had a promising drive come to an abrupt halt when TerBush's pass was tipped and then intercepted by Nick Sukay. TerBush went on to lead Purdue to another scoring drive to make it 20–18 with 8:08 left in the fourth quarter, but a late attempt to make a comeback was foiled when he threw another interception with 1:59 remaining. The Boilermakers lost 23–18.[26] On October 22, TerBush passed for 178 yards and tied a career-high with two touchdown passes to lead Purdue to a 21–14 upset victory over No. 23 Illinois.[27] The following week, TerBush completed 9 of 13 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown, while splitting time with Marve. It was the first time in his career that he led the team in rushing yards for a game. Purdue lost the game 36–14 to the 17th-ranked Michigan Wolverines, in Michigan Stadium.[28] On November 5, TerBush led the Boilermakers into Camp Randall Stadium to face the No. 19 Wisconsin Badgers. After Wisconsin got an early lead, TerBush led the Purdue offense down the field using three plays, capped by a 30-yard touchdown pass to Crosby Wright, to tie the game. The game had all the makings of a shootout from the end of the first quarter, with the score 14–10 in favor of Wisconsin, but the Purdue offense was slowed after that with TerBush throwing two interceptions. He was later pulled in favor of Robert Marve, who did not have much success either. TerBush ended the game completing 10 of 19 passes for 103 yards.[29]
TerBush started the
2012 season
During spring practice, TerBush was named a captain for the 2012 season.[35] TerBush entered his senior season looking at splitting playing time once again with Marve, and now the fully recovered Henry.[36] With TerBush working mostly with the first team, he was expected to start the first game of the year, until it was announced (one hour prior to gametime) that he had been suspended and Marve was the starting quarterback.[37] Marve responded by having the best game of his Boilermaker career, throwing for 295 yards and 3 touchdowns, in a 48–6 win over Eastern Kentucky.[38] TerBush returned to his starting role the following week against rival, Notre Dame.[39] TerBush played the entire first quarter for the Boilermakers, but since the Boilermakers were head scoreless, Marve replaced TerBush at quarterback in the second quarter.[40] Marve moved the ball for Purdue, leading them on two scoring drives resulting in 10 points.[40] Marve had Purdue close to scoring again in the 4th quarter, when he was sacked and re-injured his knee.[40] TerBush came in during the drive and threw the game tying score to Antavian Edison.[40] Purdue would lose on the next drive as Notre Dame made a game-winning field goal.[40] The following week, Purdue played Eastern Michigan, and with Marve sidelined with his third ACL tear,[41] TerBush was the unquestioned starter for the first time since the 2011 season opener against Middle Tennessee State. TerBush played the first three quarters of the game, until the Purdue took a large enough lead that Henry could get substantial playing time. TerBush finished the game with 2 passing touchdowns, and added another score on a 2-yard rush in the 2nd quarter.[42]
