Purdue Postgame

1. The defense is so good that unless you are truly elite on the OL I don't really see how you score 20+. Maybe you get there through some busts or mistakes, but we've seen through four games against four very different offenses that teams can't really put a drive together.

2. Running game still seems to be an issue. I'll wait to see the success rate stats, but it just doesn't seem good enough and I'm not sure what the answer is.

3. Great job of using TE / slot and attacking middle of the field today.

4. Mark Zackery I cannot believe that effort in coverage on the last play of the game. What are you doing.

Lord, forgive me for the things I said about Chris Ash when we were 0-2.

ACamp1900 · 2026-09-26T17:13:06-0400

Peacock made me pay 12 bucks for this game bc my illegal stream wasn’t working,… greedy bullshit.

I want to see Teddy get more of these clean up reps.

I want to see more Walton.

JOB looks legit

Still not liking the schemes in the running game. The holes just aren’t there too often.

I liked seeing how Carr spread things around even if MG didn’t get his catches,…

Overall hard not the feel positive, on to UNC

Media will find a way to criticize.

notredomer23 · 2026-09-26T17:14:10-0400

My only take away is you need one of those pass rush formations with Young, Traore, KVA, and Dunham. You can’t take the first 3 off the field, but Dunham needs to get on it more.

Same brother. It’s almost like MF knows significantly more about the game of football than me.

Notre Dame appears to be the Big Ten front runners

This team will get Belichick fired next week.

Aneyas Williams had a good day. Sorry if this offends.

They won’t learn much about ND from this game because Purdue was simply worse than they expected.

Reality is if ND signs a contract with Disney/espn/Abc ‘the media’ would flip the narrative on ND instantly

I have a stream for you...you can watch any game and multiple games at once on certain TVs

Rocketman84 · 2026-09-26T17:20:45-0400

Good running today by both Williams and Walton overall

Purdue is absolutely not worse than expected.

They're bad, but their offense put up 38 points on the road against a UCLA squad who just won against Maryland 54-3 on the road.

That offense could do basically nothing all game. And that was with 2 of the top 3 safeties out.

RudyVerse · 2026-09-26T17:22:51-0400

Purdue scores 30 every game. Really only scores 3 today. I know the entire base appreciate Ash but I think he’s still under appreciated

My lucky Green Leprechaun shirt worked again!! WOO-HOO!!

Be grateful you have a "lucky green shirt" and not a "lucky gambling degenerate anti-jinx bet."

No injuries, right?

MacIrish75 · 2026-09-26T17:29:06-0400

An absolutely uncomfortable amount of Purdue fans saying they’re pulling for ND the rest of the way to take out IU…when they literally could do it themselves. Made me feel gross.

Mac Jr’s assessment: “The Boiler fans aren’t even mad, they’re just fine with it.” The apathy was real.

Other than that, the most mundane 39 point win ever.

Feels good.

NDPhilly · 2026-09-26T17:29:42-0400

Jonaz’s final drive basically salvaged our rushing stats lol. RBs ended up totally 167 on 5.8ypc

Success rate of 71% when Williams carrying the ball. 43% for the other two, each.

Dale · 2026-09-26T17:31:14-0400

Purdue was 7th in Tempo entering the day.

And took the clock to 0 almost every snap.

They actually had something going in the run game early. That fake punt was poorly designed and everyone in the building was looking for it and it cooked any chance they had.

Ijeboi is a nice back. He deserves better.

Dizzyphil · 2026-09-26T17:38:12-0400

Special Teams and O-Line ramping up..

D is special..

Running game improved - Williams looked and ran better with 80 yards..

Carr misread the Int play bad

Finally have a kickoff guy

1st team D backfield is lights-out

1st team D line - see above

On to NC and do the same....

ND outscoring opponents 169 - 33 in four games

I'll take it....

Crazy Balki · 2026-09-26T17:42:38-0400

Wasn't super impressed with the run game. They looked better than most of the past 3 games, but Purdue's defense is atrocious, so it's hard to say if that works against better teams.

Carr had easily his worst game of the year, but they still were able to have their way with Purdue's defense.

Defense...what's left to be said? Purdue is a bad team, but their offense has been good so far. ND made them look like the past 2 seasons of Purdue ineptitude.
