In a shocking display, the Purdue football team suffered its worst loss in history against Notre Dame, falling 66-7 at home. The Boilermakers, who entered the game after a strong win, were overwhelmed, allowing nearly 400 yards of offense, including 278 rushing yards in the first half. This defeat eclipses their previous record loss of 63-7 against LSU, highlighting significant defensive shortcomings. Quarterback Hudson Card struggled under pressure, completing only 11 of 24 passes for 124 yards and two interceptions. The game marked the first time Notre Dame has visited Ross-Ade Stadium in 11 years, reviving a long-standing rivalry that has seen the Irish dominate in recent years. Despite Purdue's efforts to exploit Notre Dame's inexperience on the offensive line, they were ultimately unable to capitalize on their opportunities.
