Overview
- Jeremiyah Love needed just eight carries for 171 yards and three touchdowns, reaching 20 total scores to tie Jerome Bettis’ 1991 single-season Notre Dame record.
- Notre Dame put up 21 points on defense and special teams before its offense took a snap, with Jalen Stroman delivering a pick-six, a blocked punt that became a touchdown, and a team-high eight tackles.
- The 70 points were the program’s most since 1932 and a modern-era record, while 329 rushing yards on only 24 attempts marked the fewest rushes for a 300+ yard game by any FBS team in 30 seasons, per OptaSTATS.
- Coach Marcus Freeman praised the dominance and said starting safety Tae Johnson, out with a hand injury, is expected to miss one or two games.
- Syracuse fell to 3-8 as Joe Filardi threw three interceptions and the defense allowed 13.7 yards per carry, its worst single-game mark on record, according to Pro Football Focus.
