Bloodied and reeling from last week’s inexcusable disaster against mighty Northern Illinois, Notre Dame (1-1) will slink out of South Bend on a two-hour bus ride to West Lafayette, IN. A once-familiar foe in the Purdue Boilermakers (1-0) await their arrival. The teams will square off for just the second time since 2014 after battling for 68 consecutive years dating back to 1946. The Boilers hope to end their eight-game losing streak in this rivalry. The Fighting Irish lead the all-time series 59-26-2. The game will be nationally televised on CBS beginning at 3:30 PM Eastern time.
It is a time-honored tradition for college students to embark on a road trip when things get a bit uncomfortable on campus.
