I predicted a Purdue win last week. I was wrong. I got too excited (which is why I never...ever bet on Purdue). I still think the game was winnable, but Purdue came up short in a key few areas that kept them from exploiting the flaws of a good, but not great, Notre Dame squad.
Before I move on to the Illinois game, I think it will be interesting to see where things went wrong against Notre Dame, and what other teams can take away from the Notre Dame game plan. Instead of making you reference my article from last week, I’ll provide it to you in italics and then give you the stats from game and talk about what went wrong for the Boilermakers and my prediction.
