My pre-season analysis had this game as our first "easy" game. The pundits seem to agree because the spread is around 12 points. Once again, this is a game we really should win.
Would really like to see a clean game today. No turnovers and no killer penalties would be a good start. I feel like we have an idea how good this team could be but I am still not sure how really good they are. There probably will not be a lot of major adjustments before the bye week so I expect we will see a lot of the same solid defense but shaky offense today.
Things I would like to see include the following. Can we exhibit the killer instinct and put the game out of reach early? If we get far ahead, who will come in as mop up QB? Barring an injury, Tommy is now the guy so there is some possibility we might see Golson or Hendrix in order to start developing the next guy. The offense has not been super creative due to Tommy's limitations; would like to see us go past page 10 in our 100 page play book sometime. Expect to see some new wrinkles when we play USC.
Expect Purdue faithful to be rocking on national TV (don't I say that every week?) until we put them in their place.
Let's win big!

One other thing - Pitt absolutely stomped USF last Thursday which was interesting. Made me feel a bit better about beating the Panthers who are pretty good this year.
Excellent call yesterday, Godfather! It was a better evening of ND football. I did feel for Purdue, they just couldn't get it together. But that's enough sympathy! It's time we ND faithful had a game where we could enjoy long runs, successful drives and fewer foolish errors.
Now on to Air Force next week. Go Irish!
