Not a surprise that Tosh Baker is starting today and Michael Carmody is out. Going to have to give Baker plenty of help against Karlaftis.

Kickoff in about 12 minutes or so.

We'll see if the Irish can take the necessary steps today.

Go Irish

Purdue won the toss and deferred

Touchback

1 and 10 at the ND 25

They bring the house and Coan has to get rid of the ball. All on him.

2 and 24 after a penalty

Give inside to Kyren gets 7

3 and 18

Ball thrown behind Kyren and 3 and out to start for ND

Not ideal for Coan

Coverage there a little slow. Return gets Purdue 1 and 10 in the ND 49

Wooo Hamilton almost came up with a pick six there. Tried a screen and it almost blew up for Purdue

2 and 10

Short gain on a run inside sets up 3 and 6

Slant to Bell gets the first. Lewis was playing bail and that slant was there for the taking

2 and 7 after a WR screen

Stuffed by MTA and JD Bertrand for no gain

3 and 7

Swing to back and Bertrand wasn't inside out. Cut back inside and they converted

1 and 10

PA boot and NaNa was all over it. Bad throw and Purdue lucky it was not picked after the tip

2 and 10

Dollar and ND brought the CB. Great job by Drew White going with the TE down the seam

3 and 10

Screen to Bell gets not much. Poorly executed

Purdue FG from 34 yards out is good

Gotta get off the field on those earlier first downs, but zero help from the offense with that field position

1 and 10 at the 25 after another touchback

Williams makes the LB miss in the hole and gets about 6 plus 15 on facemask

Decent job up front there

1 and 10

PA slant to Austin and ball was on him, dropped.

Out to Davis gets ND into a favorable 3rd down

3 and 4

Purdue brought the corner and he got to Coan stripped, but ND recovered. Protection issue there with Baker getting beat.

3 and long after a chop block accepted by Purdue. Incomplete, pressure on Coan with Baker getting bull rushed

ND needs a big punt from Bramblett here. They got it

Purdue takes over at the 25

Kiser good stop after a bit too much up front

2 and 6

Short gain inside gets it to 3 and 4

ND brought the CB, but it took too long to get there. Plummer had way too much time to go to his next read

Converted

1 and 10

Quick game to Bell gets 5

Fumbled snap recovered by Purdue

3 and 6

Good coverage by ND and rush flushes Plummer out. Scrambles for a couple. Hamilton stops him and Purdue will punt

Punt fair caught inside the 10

Heavy formation inside zone gets 4 for ND

Ah cluster you know what on 2nd down. Unblocked edge no motion to get him going on the other side so he comes right down the line for TFL

Deep ball on 3 and 8 to Wilkins is incomplete

Another 3 and out and a bad Bramblett punt

1 and 10 for Purdue at the ND 43

Dollar for ND and they stuff the Wildcat look. Unexpected surprise there

2 and 10

Throwback screen that could have went big, but pressure forced a bad throw. Only gets 7, could have been six points.

Short gain on 3rd down, but Purdue will go

4th and short

Purdue calls a timeout

Hamilton with the play of the season. Purdue tried to sneak a speed sweep by ND and he gets the TFL. Massive stop for ND

Second straight series for Kristofic in the game.

PA max protect, good ball by Coan in between two defenders to Davis

Buchner in the game and he has a highlight reel run on the cutback, but only for 5 yards.

Purdue player is down

End of 1st Q

ND down 3-0, but driving

Tyree gets a couple inside on 2 and 5

3 and 2

Stuffed on 3rd down. Buchner should have pulled that one

Coan back in and ND is going on 4 and 3

Slant to Kyren and it's a touchdown. He was bracketed. Literally. Coan somehow fit it in and he did the rest.

ND looks bad on offense and yet they're up 7-3

Purdue's best run of the day gets about 7 on 1st down

2 and 3

Another run inside gets a couple. Nice job by Foskey closing that down

3 and short

Screen? Play-action? Feels like that kind of deal for Purdue

And of course I am wrong and they get stuffed. MTA is unblocked. Late stem caused that. TFL

3 and out for Purdue

Bad punt by them and ND will get the ball at their own 42

Correll back in the game at LG

Tyree nice run for about 5. Left side did a pretty good job there. Good movement

Short pitch by Coan finds Tyree to get to 3 and 2

Quick out to Tyree moves the sticks

1 and 10

RPO and Karlaftis beat Lugg way too clean. Coan smoked and ball incomplete to Austin

Coan flushed out by Karlaftis. Hit Mayer for 5 to give them a shot

3 and 5

Miscommunication there? Coan overthrows Austin.

ND went for it. Mayer was tackled by the defender and it will be a 1st down for ND. Holding on Purdue

1 and 10

PI on CB on Austin. Dude literally bodied him up the entire play

ND now in the red zone

Buchner in the game

Toss to Tyree gets about 7

2 and 4

Another one gets one

3 and 3

Confusion and ND takes a timeout. A good one to use because they want to end up with six and not three here.

PA and they tried to hit Austin on the fade. Didn't really give him a chance with the ball placement

Doerer in the game and the kick from 28 is good

ND up 10-3

Kick dropped by the Purdue returning. He gets it out to the 18

1 and 10

Wanted to take a shot down the field there, but well covered. White had the back for a three yard gain on the check down

2 and 7

Purdue tried a double pass. Fail. Well covered. NaNa ran it down for a big TFL

3 and 14

Foskey with pressure and gets to Plummer just as he was letting the ball go. Incomplete and 3 and out

Bad punt with pressure from ND and the Irish will get the ball inside Purdue territory

Wide side throw to Lenzy gets 9. Good ball by Coan

2 and 1 and easy conversion. The ND OL has run blocked way better in this game. Significantly at the point of attack

As I type that they whiff on one and Kyren has to fight for a couple on 1 and 10

2 and 8. ND inside the 30

Screen to Tyree. Nice job by Mayer with the block.

3 and 3

Correll jumps.

3 and 8

Timeout by Purdue. They didn't like the look

Austin was open for six. Coan missed him

ND has to settle for 45 yard FG attempt and he missed it. Woo did he miss it. Shanked it bad

Purdue with a big stop for them

3 and 11

Buchner staying in here.

False start on Baker

3 and very long

QB draw and Buchner breaks the tackle from Karlaftis to convert

1 and 10

Coan sacked. Karlaftis finished that time. Lugg got bullied there

Davis hit on the catch, but hangs on. Really nice job by Coan

Not a great ball on 1 and 10 after that

1:14 left in the half

2 and 10

Austin running open for a touchdown. Coan missed him. Have to hit him. Coan missing those has been a big difference in this game

Drop by Wilkins would have converted on 3rd down. Ran an in and hit him in the hands. Tough catch. But has to make it. ND has to punt.

Good one from Bramblett inside. Bertrand good coverage

Underneath for 7 and then another 7 moves the chains

30 seconds left

Cross and Foskey pressure. Plummer has to throw it away

20 seconds left

Good tackle by DJ Brown on the screen. Had to make it and he did. 13 seconds left and Purdue took their last timeout

Purdue on their 42

3 and 2

They take the slant and that means the next play is the last one of the half. Incomplete on the scramble, but dumb penalty late by Jayson Ademilola gets 15 tacked on the kickoff for ND in the 2nd half.

ND up 10-3

Ugly first half for the offense. The defense with their best half of football of the season

15 yards back means good field position for Purdue.

Ball at the 34

1 and 10

About six on 1st down for the inside zone run

2 and 4

ND blitzed from depth, but too long to get home. Free access throw gets 5 and moves the chains

1 and 10

Pressure from ND and Plummer flushed out to his left. Incomplete.

2 and 10

Finally a missed tackle by ND. Houston Griffith would have kept a completion to 10. Ends up being closer to 20

1 and 10 at the ND 30

Another blitz from depth and took the easy throw to the field. 12 yard gain

1 and 10 in the red zone

False start

1 and 15 at the ND 23

Quick hitter for 7

2 and 8

ND needs a Havoc play here. Didn't get it, but awesome coverage when they tried to leak the TE out. Nice coverage by Pyror

3 and 7

ND has to take a timeout. Henderson supposed to be out there and wasn't. Only had 10 on the field

Pressure up the middle on the rush. Cross forced a low throw. WR couldn't come up with it

34 yard field goal is good.

10-6 ND

Pass to Mayer and the ball was off to him. Holding on Purdue gets a 1st

Looked like targeting not called on that play. Shocking from the B1G refs

Short run and nothing on the quick screen gets ND into 3rd and long

Purdue sold out. Coan finally hits the deep ball to Davis who ran a post and just ran away from the DB. Great ball. Touchdown Irish!

17-6 ND

Dump to the back gets about 8.

2 and 2

Missed tackle by Lewis on the blitz. He has to make that tackle. Big play for Purdue to the ND 36

Hart PI and doubles it up by putting his hands up instead of finishing the play. Bell makes the catch and Purdue is inside the 5 yard line.

1 and goal

stuffed

2 and goal

Stuffed again. ND's front winning there. Jayson A great play getting off the block

3 and goal

Flag on Lewis. Pretty obvious. Can't wrap the arm there. Tried to isolate Bell there

1 and goal at the 2

Hart beat on fade. TD Purdue. Great catch. Finish through the hands there, Hart

17-13

Inside give to Williams gets six. Good design there

2 and 4

Nice job by the left side there gets 5. Patterson great job

1 and 10

PA and tried to hit Lenzy on the comeback. Too high

Tried the stretch and Karlaftis blew up the play. Good to only get a no gain

3 and 10

Coan did give Austin a chance there. Gotta have that one. Dropped it when he hit the ground.

Bramblett big punt and bad decision by the returner. ND tackles him inside the 5

Empty for Purdue. Screen to Bell gets 3

2 and 7

Pryor bad angle and the WR is able to make him miss. Moves the sticks

1 and 10

Quick screen to the TE

Blitz forces Plummer to step up, but there was open space. 1st down on the scramble

1 and 10

Max protect and ND dropped 8. Plummer couldn't find anyone, Justin A stepped up for the sack

2 and 14

Hamilton in space with a great tackle on the screen to the back.

3 and 14

Pressure on the stunt by Jayson A. ND gets the stop and forces a punt. Needed that from the defense

Kyren with a good return, but a flag is down. Holding brings it back

1 and 10 at the 35

False start on ND. Stem from Purdue caused it

1 and 15

Coan scrambles and gets 4

2 and 11

Coan out to Lenzy. 1st down

1 and 10

Inside to Tyree gets three to end the quarter

2 and 7 around midfield when they're back for the 4th

Hit Tyree on the wheel and no one had him. Just out of bounds after a 19 yard gain

1 and 10

Counter gets about 3

2 and 7

Tyree lucky to get a couple. Had to break a tackle at the line

3 and medium

Avery Davis on the slant moves the sticks. Nice combination out of twins with Lenzy

1 and 10

Tyree gets 3.

2 and 7

Lugg got punked. Beat inside way too easy

3 and 11 here after the sack

ND down to one timeout

Again, pressure and Coan has to step up and can't find anyone.

Doerer in for the 30 yard attempt and just sneaks in.

ND up 7

20-13 ND

Return stopped at the 20

1 and 10

Drop by the WR on what should have been an easy 6. Purdue just taking the easy access throws so if they drop those, they're in trouble

2 and 10

NaNa hit Milton as he threw. they wanted to take a shot down the field

3 and 10

Sack! Huge play for the defense. Foskey ran by the LT and MTA won easy inside.

3 and out for Purdue

Bad punt. Out at the Purdue 40

ND went for the dagger. Had it. Coan perfect ball to Lenzy. Wide open.

Dropped it. Lost it in the sun? Game over if he makes that catch

2 and 10 and Correll beat clean for a sack

3 and long

Nothing open down field. Coan had to drop it down to Kyren. Got 8 and ND should have had six, but ends up punting

Bramblett pins them at the 1. Great job by Hamilton catching it on the bounce

1 and 10

Inside for nothing on 1st down

2 and 10

QB change for Purdue. Seems like a weird time for that. Maybe Plummer is hurt?

Big throw splits the LBs and Purdue it out of jail.

1 and 10 at the 28

Short completion for a few

2 and 5

Hart great break on the ball. Big hit in the flat and incomplete

3 and 5

Hart finished that play. Took a shot with Bell, ball under thrown. Grabbed the jersey and lucky to not have a PI

Kyren a good return to the ND 48

1 and 10

Kyren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finisher. Runs though Purdue's tackles like swiss chess. Nothing there and found a hole. Kept running.

51-yards to the crib

27-13 ND

1 and 10 at the 25 for Purdue

Out to the field is incomplete

Quick out the opposite side ate up ate up by ND

3 and 8

Bell with a heck of a catch, but he got lit up by Hamilton. They converted, but Bell is down on the field. Hope he is ok and that was just him getting the wind knocked out of him

Oh no. The replay showed his head hit the ground hard. He has been down for a while.

They are looking at the replay to see if he held on to the ball, but obviously that is not that important in the grand scheme of things. He is up now and let's hope this is good news. Might have bit his lip there too.

They ruled the ball incomplete.

4 and 8 for Purdue

QB scrambled and just got it.

2 and 10 after an incompletion with 4:39 to go

False start

2 and 15

Bracy tries to tackle the WR high and gets carried for the 1st

1 and 10 at the ND 29

QB O'Connell has made some big throws on this drive, but it's taking too long.

Down to 2:35

Hamilton finishes this one with a pick in the end zone. It was a good throw, TE couldn't hold it.

ND can now run it out

Couple of runs and it's 3 and 6, Purdue burned two timeouts, but 2:23 left

Kyren freaking Williams got the corner and just got the 1st down. And stayed in bounds

They are calling it short after a review. ND should probably go for it because if they get it the game is over

4 and 1

They fake going for it to try and get Purdue to jump.

ND will punt

Purdue got extra time and kept their timeout because the refs screwed up.

So the game will be extended longer. Great

Under two minutes. MTA causes a hold

Purdue dinking and dunking under two minutes to go. What a strategy

3 and 7

Hart deflected the ball to DJ Brown and it's a pick. Hart is down after the play, though.

So MTA and Hart down on this drive. Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool (not at all cool for ND)

Hart is walking off on his own.

ND can NOW run the clock
