SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Brandon Wimbush’s first pass in his return as Notre Dame’s starting quarterback was a well-placed fade for a 3-yard Miles Boykin touchdown. Senior-to-senior on Senior Day, a celebration that began before the game with the crowd only cheering Wimbush’s introduction and extending throughout a 42-13 victory against Florida State.
The next drive ended with another touch pass in the end zone, this time six yards to tight end Alizé Mack. Again, senior-to-senior. That pairing connected a second time by the end of the first half. Running back Dexter Williams added two scores of his own, on 20 carries for a career-high 202 yards.
