TWEET OF THE WEEK "S/O to lil bro @j_tranquill1 on his offer from #Purdue today! #BoilerUp Many more to come, keep ballin" Purdue commitment Drue Tranquill (@d_TraNquill) on his brother Justin, who received an offer from Purdue. It's seen as a nugget in Purdue's favor as it tries to keep Drue Tranquill from flipping his commitment to Notre Dame. The Big Reveal Here are brief notes from Darrell Hazell this week. R Right tackle J.J. Prince may get snaps at tight end on Saturday, due to an injury to starter Justin Sinz. Sinz suffered bruised ribs against Iowa, but did practiced in a limited fashion this week. R Hazell named four as the team's top receivers, wanting to get the group a majority of the snaps in the final three games of the season. Those include DeAngelo Yancey, B.J. Knauf, Cameron Posey and Danny Anthrop. R The Boilermakers are looking to get more big plays, particularly out of a running game that has yet to have a running back with a carry of more than 20 yards in 2013. R Ra'Zahn Howard (illness), Ryan Watson (leg) and Normondo Harris (thigh/ankle), who missed the Iowa game, will be late-week decisions for Penn State. Jalani Phillips (shoulder) is likely out.
