What happened?
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Though Gary Godsey couldn’t run the option, he ran the Notre Dame offense well enough to help the Irish take advantage of numerous Purdue mistakes.
The Irish scored 17 points off Purdue miscues and Nick Setta kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired to give Notre Dame a 23-21 victory over the Boilermakers (2-1) on Saturday. The loss was the 12th straight for Purdue at Notre Dame (2-1).
Godsey, a sophomore making his first start, completed 14 passes – one more than Purdue’s Drew Brees managed against Notre Dame and one more than Arnaz Battle did in Notre Dame’s first two games.
