Notre Dame's defense has been a dud so far and Purdue offers an opportunity to get right for the time being. However, whether or not Leonard Moore plays end up being a big deal as he's really been the only thing dependable so far on Notre Dame's defense.

For the second year in a row, Notre Dame is dealing with an injury to the kicker. Noah Brunette has a groin issue, and those don't generally heal fast. To date, Notre Dame has gotten everything it has asked from Brunette, who is 10 for 10 on his combined field goal and extra point attempts through two games.
