By JAY FITZPATRICK Sports Wri rer

Charlie Weis finally got his wish. Notre Dame confused the Purdue defense with a variety of straight runs, passes and play­ action fakes - something the Irish had failed to do in the past two games - en route to a 35- 21 victory over the Boilermakers Saturday. Irish quarterback Brady Quinn completed 29-of-38 passes for 316 yards with two touchdowns, and running back Darius Walker pounded, ducked and wove his way to 146 yards on 31 carries -both season highs for the jun­ ior. Walker's six touches on Notre Dame's opening, seven-play drive set the tone for the rest of the game. After keeping Purdue on its heels with four runs and two screens to Walker, Weis called a play-fake and freshman wide receiver George West took the end-around 14 yards to the end zone for the game's first points. Notre Dame moved the ball with relative ease throughout the game, finishing with 169 yards on the ground - more than the team gained in its last two games combined.

The only drawback for the unit was its four sacks allowed.

defensive line: The Irish held Purdue to just 92 yards on the ground but failed to sack Painter. The line applied c pressure at times, but not nearly enough, as Painter found receivers both short and long.

linebackers: Joe Brockington played a · solid game with Travis Thomas out with 8 a rib injury, and Maurice Crum was solid as usual stopping the run.

defensive backs: Painter threw all over the Notre Dame secondary, compiling 398 yards.
