00:00Purdue hosting Notre Dame this week. The Irish now ranked 18th in the country. I think the
00:08spoiler makers are a little bit mad at the Huskies from NIU. They were hoping to be the
00:14team to upset Notre Dame because Purdue has the most wins against an AP top five foe as
00:19an unranked club in the history of college football. 17. It's just that Notre Dame is
00:25no longer in the top five but remains in the top 20. The Irish, Joe, less than a double
00:31digit favorite now on the road in West Lafayette against the Boilermakers. How critical is
00:36this game and what do you want to see out of Notre Dame in response to the huge upset
00:41last week at home against NIU? Well, it shouldn't be a surprise that Notre Dame is struggling
00:48here and it shouldn't be a surprise that this is no longer a double digit favorite on the
00:54road here, Ben. The offense of Notre Dame is terrible. Anybody who thought another,
01:01you know, ACC quarterback from the bottom tier teams was going to come in and save Notre
01:07Dame and elevate them have been sadly mistaken. You did it last year when you had to go to
01:12Wake Forest and pluck their quarterback. You did it this year with Duke. Riley Leonard
01:18is also hurt in his non-throwing shoulder, which means he's not probably going to run
01:23as much and take as many hits in this one, Ben. Notre Dame is going to win games because
01:29of its defense. They are going to lose games because their offense can't score enough entirely
01:36still too many points. But you know what? This is either going to be a Notre Dame 45
01:41to nothing or they lose outright to Purdue. So I'll take the plus 285. Yeah, listen, you're
01:48not wrong in that. When you look at Purdue last year, first year under Ryan Walters four
01:53and five against the spread as an underdog, three outright victories. The Boilermakers
01:59had a weird week to buy after a week one shutout over FCS and in-state foe, Indiana State Hudson
02:06card, the Texas transfer second year in West Lafayette, darn good. 24 of 25 for 273 yards
02:14and four touchdowns. The second most efficient passer in college football at the moment only
02:19behind old Mrs. Jackson dart. So they've been focused on this game. We talk about overreactions
02:25week one to week two in the national football league. This feels like a slight overreaction
02:30Peru entered this year and I don't want to slander the Boilermakers. I love them. I wish
02:33they could play spoiler, but Purdue entered this year with the lowest wind total in the
02:38big 10 at four and a half and Notre Dame is now less than a double digit favorite because
02:42of what happened last week. Listen, Riley letter has to be better. He is not thrown
02:46for more than 163 yards this year and two costly interceptions last week against NIU.
02:54It feels a little bit reactionary. Not that I advise laying nine and a half with the Irish
02:59just again, a little bit reactionary.
