It was a close one, but the Irish pulled it out, beating the Purdue Boilermakers 24-21 this past Saturday! We hope you all had tickets and saw it live, or at least saw it on television. What a finish!  The Irish were down 21-7 after the Purdue Boilermakers scored two consecutive TDs in the fourth quarter. However, with three minutes left Jimmy Clause, who was limping from an injury suffered earlier in the game, sealed the deal with a TD pass to Kyle Randolph, putting the Irish up 24-21 with 25 seconds to go.

”Last week, the defense made a play at the end of the game. This week, the offense made a play at the end of the game. Would you like the game to be easier than that? Absolutely. But give me a close win any time of the week, I’ll take it.”
