ND-Purdue: End First, It's Harry Potter Time

By Michael Rothstein

The Journal Gazette

Sadly, no wizards with snake oil wandering around these parts, however, a bizarre message on the Notre Dame Stadium scoreboard that we saw, announcing the score of a game of Quidditch.

Quidditch, of course, is a game in the Harry Potter Universe.

On to football matters, Notre Dame has run the ball better than expected in the first quarter mostly with sophomore Armando Allen. Yet the one time Notre Dame needed a yard and brought in a non-spread formation, it couldn't get the yard. James Aldridge and Asaph Schwapp in the I-Formation failed to gain.

Purdue's Kory Sheets scored from 22 yards out to give Purdue a 7-0 lead.

Here at the end of the first, Notre Dame is driving as Allen just gained 16 yards, his longest run of the season.
