With a 35-0 lead against the Purdue Boilermakers after a Boubacar Traore pick-six, and with just 37 seconds remaining in the first half, it looked like Notre Dame would simply be conservative with the football.
The Fighting Irish were, choosing to give the ball to running back Jadarian Price for a carry. But Price wasn’t willing to settle. He evaded a tackler in the backfield, turned the corner, made a cut and was gone. Price took it 70 yards to the house to give the Irish a 42-0 lead over Purdue, following the Mitch Jeter extra point.
The huge halftime lead has been built entirely on running touchdowns, plus the pick-six.
Price takes it 7️⃣0️⃣ yards to end the first half 👀🔥
