My only point is you take them lightly at your own peril. This is always true in college football.

It was fun to watch the Irish demolish one of the pompous and arrogant teams (and fan bases) in all of college football. It’s been a long time since the Irish have put a beat down like that on a rival.

And yet the vast majority of that happened more than 40 years ago. This Purdue program is objectively awful right now.

You are much younger than I.

“As insignificant as you think Purdue might be, they didn’t come by their nickname
“The Spoilermakers” for nothing. What team ended Notre Dame’s school-record 39-game
unbeaten streak? Purdue. What team has ended double-digit unbeaten and/or winning
streaks by Notre Dame on four separate occasions, more than any other Irish opponent? Purdue.
What team holds the record for the most points scored in one game by an opponent in
Notre Dame Stadium ? Purdue. What was the only team to defeat a #1 ranked Notre Dame
team twice in the Ara Parseghian era? Yep, still Purdue.”

I do not know what I expected out of that game, but it wasn’t THAT!!!
Ironically, in my opinion the story of the game was the ND defense, not the offense. Don’t get me wrong–31 points is a fine day at the office. Real happy for Amir Carlisle. But the O left some points out there (again) and the D stole the show as well as the shutout.
They were stingy, stout, relentless, and aggressive. They communicated. They forced turnovers and tackled well. Jones doing his best Shaq impression on Gardner while being, like, quadruple-teamed was awesome. Sheldon Day, Jaylon Smith, Joe Schmidt, and Matthias Farley all had great games.
Happy for all of ND Nation, but esp the defense for shutting out Big Blue for the first time since the Reagan administration. Well done, lads. Way to welcome Michigan into the playoff era. Keep Working! GO IRISH BEAT BOILERS!!!

It was a pleasure to sit back and watch ND playing the last two games but specially the one we beat Michigan.
To me, the difference was the visible enthusiasm of the players, the energy of the defensive coordinator and the constant cheering of the crowd.
From now on, I don’t have to worry about watching a defense staying back (bend but don’t break) while the other teams consistently drive down the field at will placing pressure on us.
Oh yes, special teams are much better this year and finally appear to know what to do.
Notre Dame is on a mission and the players and coaches have the will to win.
Please don’t give up, learn from each game mistakes (there are some) and keep on the pressure for the rest of the year.
Go Irish!
