Notre Dame and Purdue renew their rivalry Saturday for the first time since 2021 and the first time in West Lafayette since 2013.

Notre Dame is fresh off a brutal upset loss at the hands of Northern Illinois while Purdue comes off a bye week. The Boilermakers previously beat Indiana State 49-0 in Week One.

ESPN College GameDay was on site before the LSU vs. South Carolina game today but the staff weighed in on the Fighting Irish clash with the Boilermakers.
