Notre Dame vs. Purdue Predictions: Irish Defense Returns to Form

John Kennedy

After a devastating home loss to Northern Illinois last week, Notre Dame heads to West Lafayette to take on Purdue. After the first 2 weeks of play that were complete opposites of one another, I don't feel anyone can be sure what to expect from this Irish team.

That being said, I do think the Irish defense will look more like themselves this week while the offense will still struggle but manageĀ to do enough to get the win behind some big plays made by theĀ running backs. This game will be frustrating and unfulfilling, but a much-needed win.Ā Ā 

Notre Dame 24, Purdue 13
