Notre Dame vs. Purdue
Mitchell Evans (Notre Dame) anytime touchdown scorer (+270)
Notre Dame tight end Mitchell Evans is still not quite back to the level that he was last year prior to suffering a knee injury when he was a lock to play 60-plus snaps, but prior to the Northern Illinois game, Marcus Freeman said, "He's not a finished product yet. He will continue to increase the volume of what we're asking from him on Saturdays. He's on a progression to becoming the best version of Mitch."
Evans has just two catches on the season, but he will grow to be a force once again in the offense, just as he was when he totaled 66 yards after the catch and forced six missed tackles, per PFF, in the win over a ranked Duke team last year.
Offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock has likely been constantly reminded about the team's zero passing touchdowns through two weeks (Notre Dame is one of five FBS teams without a passing touchdown to this point), and I expect that to be an emphasis this week against a Purdue team that allowed 17-plus points in every game last year. Notre Dame's team total O/U for touchdowns is 3.5, so it should be finding the endzone plenty.
