Did it seem to anyone else that Purdue seemed to want to flip everyone they tackled? Hence the Braxton Miller injury, but I also saw Hyde repeatedly get flipped over and some of the receivers as well

I thought their tackling looked good. Maybe a bit rough, but they were more effective in open-field tackling than we were.
I thought they had great open field tackling, one of the best I've seen out of anyone this year.
I think their technique was sound, and that some of our players (I'm looking at you Mike, Sam, and Will) could learn a few things watching the game tape of the Boilermakers making open field stops. As for the Miller pulldown, I think that was a horse collar, all the way. The definition of horse collar includes using the jersey to pull an opponent to the ground.
