The Notre Dame Fighting Irish improved their record to 4-3 on the season with a 44-21 victory over the UNLV Rebels. It wasn’t pretty, and it wasn’t very interesting — so I guess Peacock was the right choice.
DIGGING IN
Notre Dame leaned hard on Logan Diggs in the running game. The sophomore from Louisiana carried the ball an astounding 28 times for 130 yards. Watching the game live, you really notice that Diggs looked like he earned every inch of those 130 yards. The offensive line was physical (and literally pushed him forward on several occasions) but this was a tough running game from Diggs.
