Notre Dame was a little shaky in there second game of the season narowly winning against Purdue 20-17. Due to the game winning field goal with seven seconds remaining in the game the Fighting Irish improve there record to 2-0. Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly started a redshirt freshman at quaterback Saturday by the name of Everett Golson. I personally have high hopes for Golson and he started Strong for the Irish throwing for 289 yards with one touchdown pass while also adding a 3-yard rushing touchdown to his stats for the day. Even though having such a good performance in the game the Fighting Irish struggled to put points on the board. While leading 17-10 the young QB fumbled on his own 17 yard line which set up a Purdue touchdown tying the game at 17. With the game on the line coach Brian Kelly decided to pull Golson out of the game and put a more experienced Tommy Rees in the game at QB to run the 2 min offense. This worked out in the long run because Rees led a drive down the field completing important passes that led to the game winning field goal. Who will start for Notre Dame at QB next week is a mystery but as long as Notre Dame keeps on winning I'm sure Irish fans don't really care. On a positive note star running back Cierre Wood will play next week coming off of a 2 game suspension for "breaking a school rule". Next week Notre Dame travels to east Lansing to battle the Spartans of Michigan state. This is with out question the hardest game the Irish will play yet this season. But hopefully with one game under his belt QB Everett Golson will be able to lead Notre Dame to another victory under head coach Brian Kelly. But with Michigan State having one of the top 15 defenses in the country it will be no easy task. So until next week "Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame!"
