no.21 notre dame 31, purdue 24 Top players No.1 Purdue quarterback Rob Henry. Henry will only be focused on his worst throw of the game — one that happened to also be intercepted and returned for a touchdown in a pivotal moment in the fourth quarter — but he had a mostly solid outing to help Purdue compete with the ranked Irish. Henry set career highs in every passing category, completing 25-of-40 passes for 256 yards and three touchdowns. Notre Dame receiver DaVarias Daniels. Daniels was the toughest matchup all night for the Boilermakers, catching eight passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns. His 82-yarder against Ricardo Allen was one of the game-changing plays. Purdue running back Akeem Hunt. It wasn't what Hunt did in the running game — he averaged a measly 1.8 yards on 12 carries — that has him on this list but what he delivered as a receiver. He had career highs of nine catches and 72 yards and turned one screen pass into a 15-yard touchdown. Notre Dame cornerback Bennett Jackson. Jackson had quite the night, getting the Irish's No.2 No.3 only sack and also delivering the biggest defensive play when he intercepted Henry's pass in the fourth quarter and returned it for a touchdown. Purdue safety Taylor Richards. Richards was the Boilermakers' leading tackler with nine, several of them big hits. He also had one of the defense's most important plays in the game, popping Notre Dame running back Amir Carlisle in the fourth quarter to help Allen force a fumble and give Purdue's offense a chance to tie the game.
