Overview

  • Notre Dame defeated Purdue 49-10 on Sept. 26 at Ross-Ade Stadium to improve to 4-0 and extend the program’s winning streak to 14 games.
  • Quarterback CJ Carr completed 14 of 22 passes for 237 yards with three touchdown passes, added a rushing touchdown, and threw his first interception of the season.
  • The Irish defense created decisive swings early with four first-half sacks and a Bryce Young strip-sack that Drayk Bowen returned for a 15-yard scoop-and-score.
  • Purdue was overmatched, finishing with 218 total yards and 12 rushing yards in the first half as Ryan Browne went 18-of-28 for 111 yards, leaving the Boilermakers 1-3 and raising questions about depth and scheme.
  • The victory kept the Shillelagh Trophy in South Bend, extended Notre Dame’s run of double-digit wins, and sends the Irish into October with a measuring-week matchup at North Carolina.
