Pod of Gold 09/30: Reviewing Purdue, previewing North Carolina

Gannett — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 21:39:00 GMT

Another weekend of college football, another easy-does-it win for No. 3 Notre Dame, which moved to 4-0 with a business-like trip to West Lafayette and a 49-10 victory over Purdue. The South Bed Tribune trio of Mike Berardino, Tom Noie and Austin Hough review Purdue, preview what challenges North Carolina might offer with head coach Bill Belichick before spending 30 good minutes with former Notre Dame cornerback Troy Pride, Jr.

What does this Notre Dame team have to be national championship-caliber that those Irish teams Pride played on could have used to have success? Pride's answer may surprise you.

We close the show with three hot takes (think a big day on tap for Leonard Moore) and predictions.
