There’s no two ways about it, it’s hard to win a game at Notre Dame. Especially for Purdue. There’s not been much that goes right when Purdue travels there. Heck, this time we couldn’t even get our drum in the stadium. Things didn’t go so great inside the stadium though so perhaps it was for the best.
After looking pretty good to start the day by forcing Notre Dame into a quick three and out Purdue took advantage to get a 3-0 lead. Unfortunately that was the only lead they had all game. The defense continued to look very good to start the game giving even the most pessimistic fans reason to believe that an upset was possible.
