Highlights at Purdue | Notre Dame Football

Highlights from Notre Dame's 66-7 victory over Purdue are presented by ‪@allstate‬.

The University of Notre Dame football team exploded for 42 points in the first half, played most of its reserve players in the second half and cruised to a dominating 66-7 win over Purdue on Saturday afternoon.

Riley Leonard led the offensive explosion in the first half, rushing for 100 yards and three consecutive touchdowns while passing for 112 yards. By the time Jadarian Price rambled 70 yards on Notre Dame’s final play of the first half – part of the 278 Irish rushing yards in the first 30 minutes – the outcome had been determined.

The Irish defense was just as dominant as its offensive counterparts, holding Purdue to just 162 yards and 1-12 on third down. The effort was highlighted by freshman Boubacare Traore’s 34-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter.

Steve Angeli played most of the entire second half at quarterback in relief of Leonard and finished six for nine passing for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Third-string quarterback Kenny Minchey finished off the scoring for Notre Dame with a five-yard touchdown run.

Notre Dame tight ends Mitchell Evans and Eli Raridon led the team with three receptions each, while their position counterparts Cooper Flanagan and Kevin Bauman both caught touchdown passes.
