Army ran the ball 86% of the time last year, a much more useful stat.  83% so far this year.

Purdue can't run the ball against FBS competition. 

So what do they do on 1st and 2nd down facing a much better team in Notre Dame? Run it right up the gut, for a combined 1 yard, then get backed up 15 by penalty to end up in 3rd and 24. 

Way to start the game going 3 and out, dummies.
