Overview

• CJ Carr went 22-for-30 for 354 yards and four first-half touchdown passes, matching Ron Powlus’ Notre Dame freshman record and exiting before the fourth quarter.
• Jeremiyah Love scored four touchdowns — two rushing and two receiving — while Jadarian Price added two scores and a team-high 86 rushing yards as the Irish rolled past 640 total yards.
• Arkansas gave up 420 yards in the first half and lost WR Jalen Brown to a serious leg injury that required X-rays, as QB Taylen Green finished 17-of-32 for 207 yards with one interception and no touchdowns.
• Coach Marcus Freeman praised Carr’s preparation, emphasized execution and shared ownership for defensive fixes, and backed defensive coordinator Chris Ash.
• Notre Dame improved to 2-2 with back-to-back 56-point wins, but its strength of schedule slipped after USC’s loss, leaving likely only one ranked opponent on the regular-season slate.
