Monday, October 4, 2004 O bserver Purdue 41, Notre Dame 16 Train wreck Orton throws for four touchdowns as Purdue wins 41-16

Observer Staff Report

Kyle Orton never got caught up in Purdue’s losing streak at Notre Dame Stadium. But Saturday, he played a pivotal part in breaking it. The Heisman Trophy candidate threw for 385 yards and four touch­ downs, Jerome Brooks returned a kick- off a 100 yards for a score and Purdue’s defense bent, but didn’t break as the Boilermakers won at Notre Dame for the first time since 1974 in a 41-16 drubbing of the Irish. “You know, I think people made too much of that,” Orton said, referring to Purdue’s 13 straight losses at Notre Dame. “We don't go around thinking about that too much but it’s nice for the fans and program to get a win here.” Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn nearly matched Kyle Orton in every offensive category, except for the one that mattered — touchdowns. Quinn finished his day with a Notre Dame Stadium record 432 passing yards on 26-of-46 attempts, but only one touchdown — a 40-yard fourth down completion to Rhema McKnight in the third quarter. Notre Dame’s passing wasn’t the problem; it was the team’s inability to run. The Irish managed just 76 yards, led by freshman tailback Darius Walker’s 62 yards on 19 carries. “There were things that we needed to do that we didn’t get done,” Irish head coach Tyrone Willingham said. “We wanted to pass, but we also want­ ed to run the ball. “We have to sustain the running game and we didn’t do that today. They just stopped us.” Several key plays turned the momen­ tum of the game in the Boilermakers’ favor. After both teams exchanged field goals on their opening drives, Brooks caught the Notre Dame kickoff on the goal line raced through an open seam, spun away from Ambrose Wooden and had a clear path to the end zone, put­ ting Purdue ahead 10-3 in the first quarter. “[Special team problems have been! something that’s kind of been nipping CLAIRE KELLEY/The Observer at our heels,” Willingham said. “At Irish quarterback Brady Quinn is sacked from behind during Notre Dame’s 41-16 loss to Purdue Saturday.

quarterbacks: Quinn matched Orton’s passing statistics and threw for 432 A- yards, but his offense’s inability to find the end zone and an ocassional lack of pocket awareness halted drives. running backs: Coaches held Grant out I again, and Walker and Wilson had D few holes to hit against Purdue’s defense. Walker’s fumble was a huge turning point in the game. receivers: Fasano gave Quinn an option all day long, and McKnight and Shelton also had productive days. The A receivers did a good job of gaining extra yards after the catch.

linebackers: The linebackers shut down the run, but a few blunders — like B- Goolsby allowing Orton to elude a pass rush — proved costly.

defensive backs: The Irish secondary has­ n’t faced a quarterback like Orton, who made successful throws despite good D coverage. They allowed too many big plays in the game.
