Overview

  • Redshirt freshman CJ Carr went 22 of 30 for 354 yards and four touchdown passes, matching Ron Powlus’ Notre Dame freshman mark from 1994.
  • Jeremiyah Love found the end zone four times with two rushing scores and two receiving touchdowns to cap a breakout day.
  • The Fighting Irish piled up 643 total yards, including 420 before halftime, and led 42-13 at the break.
  • Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green finished 17 of 32 for 207 yards with an interception, and receiver Jalen Brown was carted off with a serious leg injury and reportedly taken for X-rays.
  • Coach Sam Pittman acknowledged mounting scrutiny over his job, and USC’s loss further weakens Notre Dame’s remaining slate, complicating its College Football Playoff case.
