Notre Dame, ranked No. 3, returns to play at Purdue with the goal of going 4-0, as defensive end Boubacar Traore prepares to revisit the site of his early breakout. The Yahoo Sports reports note that Traore previously made an impact when he stepped in for an injured Jordan Botelho and recorded his first career interception, which he returned for a touchdown.
Traore is now back in familiar surroundings after already helping Notre Dame begin the season 3-0. In Tuesday comments, he says he feels he has not yet played his best, signaling a desire to build on his earlier performance and continue developing his impact at the collegiate level. While one outlet highlights the significance of his last game at Purdue, both sources frame the matchup as part of Notre Dame’s effort to keep its playoff hopes on track with another win.
