Notre Dame and Purdue prepared for a Week 4 college football matchup at Ross Ade Stadium. Entering the contest, undefeated No. 3 Notre Dame sought to maintain momentum behind a high-powered offense and key performers such as quarterback CJ Carr and rusher Nolan James Jr.

Purdue entered the game with a 1-2 record, looking to stabilize its program following a loss to UCLA. While the Boilermakers showed offensive improvement led by quarterback Ryan Browne, their defense remained a concern after recently allowing 52 points and 645 total yards in a single game.
