As Notre Dame fans know all too well, Purdue games have a way of being wet—especially in the early ‘90s.

Coming off a nail-biting win against Michigan State, the Irish needed to reassert themselves. And in a dominant 39–21 win on September 24, 1994, they did just that—thanks to a ground game that refused to be stopped and a fullback named Ray Zellars who ran like he was built from steel and stubbornness.
