Kevin Kane came back to Purdue to fix one of the nation’s worst defenses. Through three games, the reunion has been rough. Fans already are upset the Boilermakers have allowed the most points per game and third most yards per game of any Power 4 team. They might not be any happier with in-state rival No. 3 Notre Dame visiting Ross-Ade Stadium. Even coach Barry Odom is warning that if things don’t get fixed, the problems only will get worse. “I don’t think anybody on that side of the ball right...
When you lose to UMass and Boston College on back-to-back weeks, it is almost certain that there will be rumors of the next coach — but it might not be one you were thinking of. Last week, Rutgers was linked to former LSU and Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly. After being fired by LSU […]
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) – As third-ranked Notre Dame heads down to West Lafayette for an in-state rivalry clash with Purdue, all eyes are on the backfield. After an explosive performance against Michigan State, sophomore Nolan James Jr. has officially played his way into shared starting duties alongside Aneyas Williams. The two have formed a dynamic one-two punch for the Irish ground game, keeping defenses off-balance and legs fresh. While the official depth chart might list a “co-starter,” Ja...
Another meh weekend for the league. There were a couple of higher-profile games and the league went 1-2. Maryland lost at home to Virginia Tech. Michigan State lost at Notre Dame (no shame there.) Northwestern smashed Colorado. Everyone else that was supposed to win did. 1. #5 Indiana (3-0, 0-0) No surprise here. Probably not […]
It’s hard to remember exactly how it all went down as I was just starting to raise a family, and that generally drains some memory from the brain. However… there was this snippet in time when colleges thought they could just make their own music videos and fans would just be like THAT’S THE BEST […]

Game 4 Prep: Purdue Hosts #3 Notre Dame in the Battle of the Shillelagh Trophy
A 1-2 start is likely the worst case scenario for a Purdue Boilermaker program looking to shift the perception of what their football program looks like. Following a breakdown in the late stages and overtime to Wake Forest, Purdue followed that up with arguably one of the worst performances on defense in the program’s history. […]
The University of Notre Dame football team (3-0) powered past Michigan State (2-1), 27-10, on a rainy evening in sold-out Notre Dame Stadium. Holding a 17-10 lead at halftime, the Irish, in similar fashion to their season-opening victory over Wisconsin in Lambeau Field three weeks ago, rode a physical and dominating second half en route to a comfortable win. Notre Dame outscored Michigan State 10-0 in the second half and held the Spartans to 40 total yards and zero rushing yards in the game’s ...
AP Poll College Football rankings are out after week 3 and there’s plenty to talk about. On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 770 Josh Pate broke down the AP Poll having Texas #1 followed by UGA, Notre Dame, and Ole Miss. What do we make of Oregon still being at 20 ahead of teams like Mississippi State? Where should Tennessee and Penn State be? What about Oklahoma and Texas A&M being in positions many didn’t expect? Where is Alabama? Let us know what you think in the comments below and be s...
We are only three games into the college football season, but there is a question about just how good this Notre Dame football team is this year is being tossed around the college football world (just as it was during the preseason). Do you really think this really best team of the Marcus Freeman era? […]

OC Josh Henson Weekly Press Conference vs Notre Dame
Purdue is now 1-2 on the season and so it’s of course time for an easy game to get things back on track. Right? Oh wait, what’s that? We are playing #3 Notre Dame? Oh, great, this should be fun. Yes, that’s right the Fighting Irish are making their way to Ross-Ade Stadium to play […]
Every year it happens. Notre Dame finishes its third game of the regular season, and I immediately think… well that’s 25% of the schedule. I’m not even a math nerd — although I secretly wish I was one from time to time, but it’s that number which really slaps me in the face. Notre Dame […]

After three full weeks of college football, there are four teams at the top of my top 25 who have yet to show flaws: Indiana, Georgia, Miami and Notre Dame. That does not mean that these teams are flawless. There’s still time and a number of ranked opponents for each of them to face before we can come to a definite conclusion on just how perfect — or imperfect — these teams are. But suffice it to say that after Ohio State and Texas’ outstanding meeting last weekend, we’d all like to see Miami ...
Week 3 should bring plenty of movement to the rankings. LSU fell after losing to Ole Miss, while Michigan moved up after finally pulling away from UTEP.

It has been nine years since Notre Dame and Michigan State played a football game. The last one came in 2017, when the Irish went into Spartan Stadium and left with a 38-18 win and the Megaphone Trophy, and the series has been dormant ever since. Tonight the rivalry comes back for the 80th meeting, under the lights in South Bend. Both teams come in at 2-0. Notre Dame is ranked third in the country and playing like a team with national championship expectations. Michigan State is three games in...
