Notre Dame did its part to make next weekend’s showdown with Wisconsin as big as it could be by staying undefeated Saturday afternoon with a 27-13 victory over Purdue. The Badgers were off, seemingly needing an extra week to prepare for Notre Dame after a tussle with Eastern Michigan last weekend, but still have a 1-1 record after their week one pillow fight with Penn State started their season off with a loss.
Even with the Badgers just 1-1 on the season and Notre Dame underwhelming through three weeks, ESPN picked the Irish and Badgers for GameDay.
