By the Numbers: Notre Dame’s Most Complete Game of the Marcus Freeman Era

On Senior Day, Notre Dame delivered one of the most overwhelming performances in program history. The Irish scored 35 points in the first quarter, 49 in the first half, and 70 overall — the most points the program has scored in the modern era and the most since 1932. Two pick-sixes, a punt-return touchdown, and a ground game averaging nearly 14 yards per carry fueled a blowout that was over almost immediately. The Irish built a 21-0 lead in this one before the offense even took the field. It was total domination in every phase — explosive, efficient, and merciless.
