With the first half almost at a close, Notre Dame and Purdue were in a battle with the Irish holding onto a 28-13 lead but a weather delay put a hold to the action.
The Irish responded following the almost 2-hour delay scoring three touchdowns to extend the lead to 49-23, and Notre Dame would then cruise to a 56-30 victory. The Irish were lead by running back Jadarian Price, who totaled four touchdowns on the day, three on the ground and one on special teams.
The other back, Jeremiyah Love had himself an afternoon as well, as he rushed for 166-yards with two touchdowns of his own. Quarterback CJ Carr threw the ball just 12 times, but completed 10 of those attempts for 223-yards and two scores.
Once again, it wasn’t the best showing from the Notre Dame defense, but they did enough to keep the Boilermakers from getting the confidence that they could pull off the upset. It’s the Irish first win of the season, and 10th-straight against the in-state rivals. Notre Dame gets back on the field next weekend, when they travel to SEC country to face the Arkansas Razorbacks.
