Purdue at Nebraska: In Tweets

Purdue lost by 14 to Iowa and it didn't feel even remotely that close. The Boilers lost by 13 at Nebraska and it felt much closer. It is hard to describe, but there was a major difference this week in the team we saw. You can see it reflected in this week's In Tweets:

As Illinois did two weeks ago, Purdue made a special jersey as a tribute to late #Huskers punter Sam Foltz https://t.co/CWsLefkQpz pic.twitter.com/xnCmUD99e5

THE PURDUE DEFENSE JUST HELD NEBRASKA TO A FIELD GOAL

The Darrell Hazell era is over.

Eh, we'll review the tape and get back to you before we say that officially. https://t.co/idBaElKwFN

@ARHolmesBTP I just popped a bottle of champaign and poured it over my head.

Here's the interesting thing about firing Hazell halfway through the year. If Purdue shows spark now, it's a direct damnation of Hazell.

So, uh, Purdue showed up

My young bulls out there!!! Nice TD @TEAM_yancey

— Raheem Mostert (@RMos_8Ball) October 22, 2016

That hurts. 88 yards and Purdue gets out of a 3rd and 11 with a TD.
All sorts of profanity.

I don't think these commentators understand what's going on right now @HammerAndRails

Stubblefield gets a bonus 10 yds for doing the boiler up into the end zone though https://t.co/5am4pfd604

Remember that ‘rest the starters’ bit? Yeah.
We have a lot to go, but we can’t take a week off for anyone.

Actually, firing your bad coach during this season might be good pic.twitter.com/poVckFg4wr

@ARHolmesBTP @HammerAndRails I keep turning the T.V. off shaking it, and then turning it back on again. Still don't think it's functioning.

— Drew Schneider (@Drewtigeralum) October 22, 2016

here for a world where the Boilermakers have a victory over a top ten team and a two game win streak over Nebraska https://t.co/6wefLq028v

@HammerAndRails this shite commentator is actually lamenting how Nebraska is playing. He actually sounds angry with them.

— Chad A (@Kharvfanfla15) October 22, 2016

Unbelievable. Four consecutive 3rd down stops. @HammerAndRails This must be some kind of World Record, right?

— Rawlings Yarborough (@Stabbyballs) October 22, 2016

@HammerAndRails I love the heart the team is playing with. It's been MIA for a while.

— Beehler (@boiler_beehler) October 22, 2016

@HammerAndRails I haven't been this excited by watching Purdue football in YEARS! Both sides of the line are a totally different team!

— Justin Black (@JustinWBlack) October 22, 2016

Memorial Stadium is..uh...unhappy with the Husker defense. @HammerAndRails

You didn’t buy enough alcohol for this.

— CornNation (@CornNation) October 22, 2016

@HammerAndRails
you would say that. Y’all are bastards.

No matter the outcome.. it's great to see the Boilers be competitive period!
