GoldanDBlack express • volume 25, express 3 • 14 1 Where's Purdue psychologically? How shaken is its confi- dence, if at all, after last week's very-2013ish loss? 2 How determined is Notre Dame? Last year's too-close-for- comfort win over Purdue should have its attention. It's a long way away, but these lopsided scores can't hurt its playoff chances either. 3 How much of an issue for Purdue is this sudden instability at quarterback going to be? 4 Can the Boilermakers stack up at the line of scrimmage? Results were mixed against the MAC. Notre Dame is not the MAC. 5 Can Purdue's defense disrupt Everett Golson? If it doesn't, the Irish QB might dominate. — Brian Neubert Stats are from 2014.
