Purdue coach fine with Marve's tweet

Purdue coach fine with Marve's tweet

Purdue football coach Danny Hope says he had no issue with a critical tweet from quarterback Robert Marve.

Marve stepped in for starter Caleb TerBush in the second quarter of Purdue's 38-10 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday. Hope said after the game that TerBush had a better command of the offense, and Marve played outside the system at times when he didn't need to.

On his Twitter account, Marve said wrote: ''Don't understand how I was not playing in the system! It was rough from the get go, don't understand how that was on me.''

Hope said he understood Marve's concern and the only negative issue was the response by the fans and the media.
