Notre Dame and Purdue. I like Purdue in the game, but it will be close.

Close?

Not a chance.

ND cannot, and will not, match up well against Purdue. :bang:

While the the Boilermakers may blowout the Irish big time :chair: , a more realistic prediction is Purdue 31, Notre Dame 21. :ownd:

This is a tossup game. Purdue has advantages in the passing game v the Irish pass D, but UND has the homefield advantage and has a stronger run O than Purdue has a run D (see Illinois game).

And in games like this, go with history......... and history tells you that the Boilers haven't won in South Bend since the 70s...... yes, PU hasn't been very successful outside the Tiller era, but they lost @UND in their Rose Bowl year in 2000, too.
