The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Arkansas Razorbacks had two very different college football Saturdays. The Irish got their first win of the season in a 56-30 blowout of the Purdue Boilermakers, and Arkansas lost their second straight game to drop to 2-2 overall (a late game collapse that allowed the Memphis Tigers to take home the 32-31 win).

Notre Dame finally won a game on Saturday, but its defense under Chris Ash continued to give up points at an alarming pace.
