Notre Dame Vs. Purdue Final: Cierre Wood Goes Off In 38-10 Win
Not only could Purdue not do anything defensively, but they were even worse offensively. Purdue had just 276 yards total for the night, much of that picked up in the second half when the game was already over. The Boilermakers were held to just 84 rushing yards and didn't far much better passing the football. Purdue played both quarterbacks, Robert Marve and Caleb TerBush, but neither was effective.
