Indianapolis, IN (SportsNetwork.com) - Everett Golson had two touchdown passes and ran in another as No. 11 Notre Dame grabbed a 30-14 win over Purdue on Saturday. Golson went 25-for-40 with 259 yards and added 56 yards on 14 carries for the Irish (3-0), who got a touchdown reception from Corey Robinson and William Fuller. "Offensively missed opportunities for the most part," said Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly. "We needed to play better. Everett is going to get a lot of the blame. Obviously, hes the quarterback. Hell tell you he needs to play better. But we got to block better. We got to catch the ball better. We got to run better." Danny Etling was 27-for-40 for 234 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Boilermakers (1-2), who have dropped their past two after opening the season with a win over Western Michigan. Notre Dame started the game with the ball and had excellent field position as Amir Carlisle returned the opening kickoff to the Purdue 45. Six plays later, Golson and Fuller got together for a 6-yard score and a 7-0 lead 2 1/2 minutes in. Kyle Brindza missed a 50-yard field goal on the Irishs next possession, and the Boilermakers took advantage of the short field to tie the game. On 3rd- and-6 at the ND 7, Etling hit Brandon Cottom out in the right flat with a short pass, and Cottom lowered his head to bull through two defenders at the goal line for a score with 1:50 left in the first quarter. Brindza was true from 19 yards out on Notre Dames ensuing touch for a 10-7 lead, and the Notre Dame defense came up with a big stop later in the second quarter, as Purdue went for it on 4th-and-1 at the ND 28 but Raheem Mostert was stopped. A fumble by Ben Koyack gave Purdue the ball back at the Notre Dame 16, though. Three plays later, DeAngelo Yancey made a leaping catch in the back of the end zone, just dragging his feet in bounds, for a 19-yard score and a 14-10 Purdue advantage with three minutes left in the half. Notre Dame, though, came right back down the field, as Robinson caught a 32- yard pass to help set up a 15-yard TD run by Golson to give the Irish a 17-14 lead at the break. The Irish built on their lead on their second touch of the third quarter, as a 7-play, 62-yard drive was capped by a 15-yard scoring pass from Golson to Robinson for a 24-14 lead with just over four minutes to play in the third. Field goals of 48 and 39 yards by Brindza in the fourth quarter capped the scoring, with Etling picked off twice in the final frame.

On second thought, theres not much to say. "Not a whole lot, probably," Watson said Monday. "Again, its performance. I could ask Tiger, How are you feeling? How are you feeling like youre hitting the ball? Are you hitting it well? And that doesnt mean anything, really. The performance means something. Ill be watching Tiger and I want him on the team -- I do. Hes a tough competitor and hes great in the team room. Wouldnt you want him on your team?" Woods has three tournaments to give Watson an indication of his game. The 14-time major champion was out for three months because of back surgery, and he wasnt playing well in the months leading to the March 31 operation as his back pain became more evident. Woods is No. 72 in the Ryder Cup standings with only five weeks remaining to earn one of nine spots. He is a long shot to make the team, though a victory at Royal Liverpool -- or the PGA Championship -- would do the trick. Watson repeated the two factors that matter to him -- the game and the health of Woods. And he was careful not to speculate what would happen if Woods failed to get into the FedEx Cup playoffs for the top 125. Woods is at No. 212 with three tournaments remaining. "If hes playing well and hes healthy, Ill pick him," Watson said. "But then the caveat is if he doesnt get into the FedEx Cup. What to do then? And thats the question I cant answer right now." Woods has the Bridgestone Invitaational at Firestone ($9 million purse) and the PGA Championship ($10 million purse, with points doubled) before the Ryder Cup qualifying period ends.dddddddddddd Watson will make his three picks after the second FedEx Cup event. "I cant speculate how hes going to be playing through the PGA," Watson said. "I hope that hes playing well enough where he gets in the FedEx Cup and plays a few tournaments in the FedEx Cup. Thats my sincere hope, that he plays well. And I suspect hell be there." Woods won at Royal Liverpool in 2006. He returns to a course that is green and lush, a sharp difference from last time when it was brown and fast. He played 12 holes Saturday and 18 holes Sunday, and was not at the course for much of Monday. He has said his intention is to win this week, having returned three weeks ago at Congressional with plenty of rust in his short game. Woods missed the cut. Watson likes the way Woods is thinking, and hopes every player in the field has the same intention. "Just put it this way: I wouldnt write off Tiger Woods for a long time the way he plays the game," Watson said. "Hes a tough competitor. He knows how to swing the golf club. And yes, hes had some injuries and other things -- issues. But the thing is, hes had a long career. And I fully expect it to be a longer career." Woods has made every Ryder Cup team since he turned pro except for 2010, when he was returning from a scandal in his private life that led to divorce. Corey Pavin picked up for the team at Wales. Woods won three of his four matches for his best individual record in any Ryder Cup. ' ' '
