Purdue at Notre Dame – 3:30 PM ET on NBC

One of the more interesting matchups as we witness the starts to two new eras. Robert Marve has people excited down in West Lafayette while Brian Kelly has the entire nation curious as to whether he can work his magic again with the Fighting Irish. My guess is that this game will not answer all of our questions about both squads but it should be entertaining. Hard to bet against Notre Dame at home with Kelly the first week. You know he will have something creative in mind to assure victory.
