The Purdue-Notre Dame football rivalry, renewed this Saturday, carries significant historical and emotional weight for both teams. Drew Brees shares his excitement, noting that the rivalry influenced his decision to attend Purdue. Notre Dame, reeling from a loss to Northern Illinois and struggling with a weak passing game, seeks redemption, while Purdue is eager to capitalize on this vulnerability. Purdue's massive drum, absent in the 2021 clash, will be featured prominently. Notre Dame's QB Riley Leonard, despite a shoulder injury, is expected to play. Both teams aim to solidify their legacies in this pivotal matchup.
