The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 8-0 for the first time since their undefeated regular season in 2012, which has inspired tonight’s comparison of both teams’ offense.
The 2018 Irish have run 592 plays so far this year, which is equivalent to the 2012 Irish’s first eight games plus the first 57 plays of their game against the Pittsburgh Panthers. (The Irish were down 20-6 with 3:37 remaining in the third quarter.)
