While many in Irish Nation feel like the sky is falling for Notre Dame football, that may not exactly be the case.
The Golden Domers will try and right many wrongs this weekend at Purdue, in a game that feels like it could go awry. ESPN doesn’t think that will be the case, as they explained during its preview of the top Week 3 games (subscription required).
Bill Connelly, didn’t highlight the contest, but did add it to his weekend watchlist. He noted that the Irish had a similar fate two years ago, “but responded with 10 wins in the next 11 games.”
Connelly was also questioning the Boilermakers, as “we know nothing about how good Purdue is.” With that in mind, ESPN’s SP+ has Notre Dame winning by 11.2 points, while their FPI projection has the Irish coming out on top by 9.9.
Regardless of how they believe it will play out, all we want to see is an Irish victory on Saturday.
