Notre Dame (-11) Over Purdue

[irishfan]

The safety was ridiculous!! Well I guess the guys who guess the spread are pretty good at what they do.

 

[Colt556]

Amazing they just made the spread. Hmmmm......

 

[Cemetery-man]

Coach said the win wasn't "pretty". I call it downright "UGLY"!

I'm a long way from getting excited and today wasn't the performance to increase my confidence in ND football. Sort of reminded me of watching a Charlie W. game.

I'll take the win, and I liked a lot of what I saw from the defense especially, but that wasn't good enough. I hate Michigan with a passion, and if I see us lose against them AGAIN (I'll be at the game next weekend) I'll lose a lot of excitement about the rest of the season.

Ouch!, Purdue sucked it up for the first 2-1/2 quarters, I thought they might have a chance, but not this year. ND defense played pretty well most of the day. I would have like to have seen Henry come in at QB again, he immediately changed the tempo and got things going for PU. Oh well, congrats Domers.

Purdue was awful most of the game, ND outplayed them the whole way and should have blown them out. All I can say is good luck against Michigan because you are going to need it, they looked much better against a similar if not better team.

ND BEATS THE BOILERBABIES AGAIN!!!
Looking forward to PU excuse posts!

 

[irishfan]

Kelly will get them back in shape for Michigan but I do agree that they better not play the way they did in the second half. Purdue has a solid team that I believe will be competitive in the Big Ten and get to a bowl but I really don't like their quarterback.

What excuse? When you play like **** you lose.

Oh I don't mean anyone here really, there will be some lint for brain local radio guys around Indiana somewhere pointing out why PU really deserved to win....

Oh and MAYDAY MAYDAY!!! BOILER DOWN!!!

What news outlet in Indiana, not in the city of Lafayette, is pro Purdue or makes excuses for them?

But I see as usual the ND fans win with class Let me guess, ND is back and this season will be BCS bowl or bust?

I am guessing 10 wins is a great year for what we have with talent and the new system but anything is possible. A lot of the hype in South Bend this year is that Brian Kelly has done a great job everywhere he has been.

If you want to talk about class then you might want to look at that joker Purdue has for a quarterback. Marve may be talented but he is a jackass as he showed by getting his team penalized and having to leave Miami of all places.

If this hurts your feelings, I'm not sorry. GO IRISH

I think a bird pooped on your hat I like to watch Ohio State and ALMOST all of the Big Ten when they play. The only exception to that rule is Michigan and I will NEVER root for them in any manner except to get smoked by whoever they play.

PU didn't play as badly as I expected them to do. If they further refine their offense for Marve to sprint out and pass/run... They can do things.

Their D isn't bad, especially those defensive ends. Monsters.

And PU needs to be thankful that ND didn't play well.

Next weekend will be a real test. If ND plays the same as they did the other day, they'll get stomped on by MI.

Yeah, I agree, next week will probably be the determining factor on whether ND goes on a tear or gets torn up this year.

I agree completely about Purdue and ND on this. Purdue has a talented quarterback if he isn't his own worst enemy and a lot to go with him for the Big Ten. If I were to bet on it I would say they will finish bowl eligible and fighting for third in the Big Ten. As far as Notre Dame, they will be okay. If they play sloppy like they did in the second half then they will struggle but I don't see Kelly letting that happen. Brian Kelly has made a reputation for getting more out of his players and finishing games than just about anybody going right now. This saturday will be a great day for football and I am sure that screaming at the TV will happen often.

I love your outlook!!!

And yeah, I see Ohio State playing for the national championship this year.

I'd love to see ND with a 75% win rate this year, that would make me stoked about recruiting and results for the Kelly era @ ND.
