Notre Dame Opponent Preview | Purdue

It’s hard to notice progress when a team only improves from 1-11 to 2-10, but Purdue was a better football team in 2025 compared to 2024. They were so terrible in ‘24 that improving to simply bad doesn’t exactly move the needle.

They finished 83rd in F+ (combined FEI and SP+ rating) compared to 122nd. The average scoring margin for them was cut in half from -30.8 to -15.8.
