Is there such a thing as frustration at losing to the No. 8 team in America? I think so. When Wilton Speight is knocked form the game but John O’Korn outplays him. When Purdue busts its ass but isn’t quite there. When a 10-7 lead felt like it might actually hold up.
Yes, the Twitter reaction was frustraiting, but better days are ahead:
It's the "Brohm Effect", like the "Genesis Effect" from Star Trek. Life from non-life. #BoilerUp #BeatMichigan @BoilerFootball

@HammerAndRails this just feels like a real college football atmosphere. And it's ABOUT DAMN TIME!

It's strange that Michigan can have Purdue in a 3rd & 28 and I'm wondering what crazy trickeration Jeff Brohm has up his sleeve here.

a full Ross Ade is the most beautiful thing in the world

Pretty smart of Michigan to avoid their biggest weakness by never making it into the red zone, IMO

Is it too far to say at this point Purdue D looks as good as Michigan D? @HammerAndRails #BoilerUp

I continue to be impressed by the Purdue defense. I expected a competent offense from the Boilermakers this year. Didn’t expect the defense.

Sindelar sliced and diced the overpursuit of the Michigan D. Game on in WestLaf.
— Pete Helland (@petehelland) September 23, 2017
This is why two QB approach can work for #Purdue. Sindelar better arm, better suited for those cross-field passes. Can switch situationally.

Brohm awareness boost: +39 to all players.

Targeting calls suck! Purdue LB about to get booted from the game bc the Michigian WR was sliding low for the ball. Targeting/Smargeting

@HammerAndRails Air went out of my basement when we missed the sack at the 5. Same thing at R-A? It was easier when we sucked all the time.

It is astounding how different Purdue looks this year. Everything about them feels together, fast, poised. Remarkable turnaround so far
— Mike Hall (@BTNMikeHall) September 23, 2017
Lol. Michigan will likely win this, but #8 Michigan eking out a win against Purdue is nothing to be cocky about
— Harrison Metz (@HarrisonMetz) September 23, 2017
did you really think He Who Walks Behind The Rows would allow you to escape, Purdue
— Holly Anderson (@HollyAnderson) September 23, 2017
Right now is where #Purdue's lack of a go-to guy on the perimeter really shows up. Who do you go to when you HAVE to get a first down?
— Nathan Baird (@nbairdjc) September 23, 2017
Maybe it's not surprising that we can't tackle the QB. Most O'Korn on the cob has butter on it.
— Juan (@Air_Force_Juan) September 23, 2017
No moral victories and all that jazz, but biggest Ross-Ade crowd since '08 and Purdue football was a media topic all week. That's progress.

Even though I was right, I'll give respect where respect is due. Purdue gave a good scare. Will be a tough opponent for all Big 10 teams! pic.twitter.com/40lRGbVACC
