IB Countdown To Kickoff: Notre Dame VS Purdue

Irish Breakdown

Irish Breakdown previews this Saturday's Notre Dame - Purdue football game with a heavy dose of what's ailing the Fighting Irish. We start by asking if the expectations were too high for a team that has so many new pieces this season. We also dig into quarterback Riley Leonard's play and if he can get back to his 2022 form. We have comments from head coach Marcus Freeman on Leonard and what it would take to bench Leonard if he struggles against the Boilermakers. We also ask if the Irish would be better off with Steve Angeli at the helm if the current offense is the one they're going to run.

We take a look at Purdue and what to expect from their offense and defense and hear comments from Freeman on defensive ends RJ Oben and Bryce Young and discuss how their strong side defensive end position can be more productive. Then we cover how running backs Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price could factor into the game plan against the Purdue defense.
