Notre Dame Fighting Irish, now ranked 18th, are looking to bounce back in Week 3 against Purdue Boilermakers after a tough 16-24 loss to Northern Illinois.

With a 1-1 record, Notre Dame is eager to prove that they’ve learned from their mistakes and are ready to continue their dominance over 1-0 Purdue. Saturday's game offers a chance for redemption and an opportunity to show everyone that this is a different team.

Notre Dame’s passing game, ranked 114th nationally, has come under fire, with quarterback Riley Leonard facing heavy criticism.

Dropping from No. 7 to No. 19 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll, the Irish are determined to regain momentum after their season-opening win against Texas A&M. This week, they’re ready to show what they’re truly capable of.
