Overview
- C.J. Carr went 22-for-30 for 354 yards and four touchdowns, matching Ron Powlus’ Notre 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.
