Rewatch Notes | Notre Dame Defense vs Purdue

Purdue managing only six first downs against Notre Dame is a pretty good indicator of how dominant the Irish defense was. Even more impressive than that was the fact that Purdue averaged only 3.3 plays per drive.

It might have been ugly for Purdue fans. It was a beautiful response by Notre Dame’s defense. They checked pretty much every box.

They only allowed two plays of 20+ yards and one was with the second team after halftime. They created a ton of negative plays and had a 24.
