Notre Dame Blows Out Purdue With Its Most Points After a Loss in 116 Years​

The last time the Fighting Irish rebounded from a loss this well in-season, it came against a hilariously quaint opponent.

Let's go back to Oct.,1908. Theodore Roosevelt is president (though not for much longer, as an election looms). Bulgaria is newly independent. The Chicago Cubs are World Series champions.

Notre Dame, meanwhile, is an obscure Catholic college in the Michiana region. It's still years away from its football program becoming one of America's flagship sports brands—College Football Reference's records don't even recognize it as a major team.

And yet, similarities abound to today. On Saturday, the No. 18 Fighting Irish smashed Purdue 66–7 a week after an upset loss to Northern Illinois. Via ESPN, their 66-point output represented their highest point total immediately after a loss with a season since '08, when they won a game 88–0 after losing 12–6 to Michigan.

Their opponent that day? Chicago Physicians & Surgeons.
