Irish Illustrated Preview: No. 3 Notre Dame (3-0) @ Purdue (1-2)
Summary
-
Through three 2026 games, Purdue QB Ryan Browne has thrown for 1,024 yards with a 73.2% completion rate, seven TDs and one interception, setting a new personal single-game yardage high each week (317, 329, 378). These are entering-Notre Dame totals, not a forecast or a change in his role.
-
Purdue slot receivers Xavier Townsend (19 catches, 14.1 yards per catch, two TDs) and Asaad Waseem (20 catches, 16.1 yards per catch) lead its through-three-game receiving picture. The article says they share slot duties; those totals do not promise target shares against Notre Dame.
-
Purdue RB Fame Ijeboi has 55 carries for 248 yards and six TDs through three games, but UCLA held him to 47 yards on 17 carries after 114 yards against Wake Forest. This describes current production and recent run-game difficulty, not a planned change in carries.
