The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 2 - 0 after a late field goal by Kyle Brindza put the Irish past Purdue 20 - 17. Some of the key story lines from this game:
- Seven Irish starters got injured and never returned
- Golson threw for 289 yards -- completing 67% of his passes
- ND's defense held Purdue to under 300 total yards of offense
- Golson's late fumble
- Rees came off the bench and took the IRISH down the field with two clutch third down pass completions -- completing 3 of 8 passes for 35 yards
The Irish have won their first two games of the season for the first time since 2008 and for only the fourth time in the last sixteen seasons -- think about that!!!
