Any 'hangover' for ND relating to jet lag should be about the same as some 18-22 year olds staying at a frat party until 3 a.m. last Saturday night.

But here's hoping a few Boilermakers can give them another hangover this week.
 
Terbush gets the start over Marve, who started last week against Western Kentucky. Not sure if Marve is injured or not, but he put up good passing stats last week ( 30/38 for 295 yards and 3 TDs). Purdue will definitely want to bring a strong passing attack against the Irish as their secondary is weak after starting two new corners last week. While the Irish held the normally strong Navy ground game to 149 yards on 40 carries, they gave up 179 through the air. Purdue can definitely make a game of it if the passing numbers are strong.

Very surprised that the o/u is 52. Seems like a sure-bet.

My thoughts as well. Last year's score ended with 38-10 in West Lafayette. This year the game is played in South Bend. The Irish's offense is quite possibly better if the turnover issues have been addressed and QB play is improved, however pass defense is weaker than last year. It should make a good case for over 52 points in the game, but you never know with the Irish.
