Notre Dame Routs Arkansas 56-13 as Freshman C.J. Carr Ties TD Mark

The outburst positions a 2-2 Notre Dame back in the playoff conversation after an 0-2 start.

Overview

  • C.J. Carr went 22-for-30 for 354 yards and four touchdowns, matching Ron PowlusNotre Dame freshman single-game record with all four scores before halftime.
  • Jeremiyah Love scored four times — two rushing and two receiving — while Jadarian Price added two touchdowns and 86 rushing yards, giving the duo 16 touchdowns through four games.
  • Notre Dame piled up 641 yards to Arkansas’ 365, led 42-13 at the break, and posted 56 points for the second straight week to even its record at 2-2.
  • Marcus Freeman praised Carr’s preparation and emphasized defensive accountability, as the Irish generated three sacks and an interception and limited explosive passing plays.
  • Arkansas’ defeat intensified pressure on coach Sam Pittman, wideout Jalen Brown was carted off and taken for X-rays per reports, and Notre Dame’s playoff case now hinges on sustaining this offense with schedule strength in question after USC’s loss.
