Total domination by the Fighting Irish from the start. The Irish outgained the Boilermakers 390-72 in the first half while building a 42-0 lead
The Irish scored three touchdowns in the last 2:10 of the half. A pick six and a 70 yard run as Notre Dame was trying to just end the half
Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard, who was questionable to play this week, had a great first half with 100 yards rushing with 3 rushing touchdowns
What does it mean?
This was a great bounce back game for Notre Dame after their upset loss at home to Northern Illinois
Purdue will have a lot of questions before heading out west to take on the Oregon State Beavers next Saturday
Notre Dame’s play calling seemed a lot better this week. They emphasized the run and put Leonard in great positions to be successful
Overall takeaways
This was the Notre Dame team that won at Texas A&M. They will need to have a few more of these type of scores with their schedule to get back into playoff discussion
Can Purdue find success in the new 18 team BIG 10. They sure did not look like a good team today
Rivalry games are important. College sports needs to make sure games like today, despite the score, keep being played.
