A balanced offense and suffocating front seven highlighted Notre Dame’s 38-3 whipping of the visiting Longhorns.
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – Malik Zaire starred, Texas’s quarterback two-step stumbled, and Brian Kelly’s Irish illustrated the enviable depth the head coach has built within his program en route to Notre Dame’s thorough 38-3 handling of the Longhorns Saturday night.
The host Irish led from wire to wire, buoyed by a balanced first half effort that included first downs gained by eight different players to claim a 17-0 halftime advantage.
Texas earned just four first downs in the first half and eight for the game compared to Notre Dame's whopping end total, 30.
