  "account": "WEST LAFAYETTE, IN - Notre Dame secured a dominant 49-10 victory over Purdue in a preseason rivalry game, solidifying their position at the top of the conference. The Irish, led by quarterback CJ Carr, controlled the game from the outset, with Carr's first drive lasting just four plays but yielding a touchdown through a 27-yard pass to Micah Gilbert. This set the tone for the remainder of the contest, as Notre Dame scored on their next four offensive drives, with the first touchdown coming on a 22-yard run by Aneyas Williams.\n\nCarr continued his prolific performance throughout the first half, connecting with Gilbert again for a 56-yard catch and run that added 14 points. The Irish's dominance was further cemented with a 13-play, 85-yard drive that culminated in a 1-yard touchdown run, extending their lead to 21-0. The game remained largely one-sided until Purdue's final scoring drive in the fourth quarter, which managed a touchdown with just six seconds remaining, featuring all backup players. Despite this late effort, Notre Dame's formidable defense had already secured the win, allowing them to return home with a commanding 42-3 lead.",
