The Notre Dame Fighting Irish did everything they needed to do to get the first win of the season — it just looked a little rough at times as the Irish put away the California Golden Bears, 24-17.
BIG PRESSURE
For most of the day, Notre Dame’s defensive front was very aggressive in getting after Cal QB Jack Plummer. The Irish racked up 6 sacks on the day with Jacob Lacey leading the way with two, while Jayson Ademilola and Isaiah Foskey both accounted for 1.5 sacks. The Irish were also credited with 6 quarterback hurries — but it felt like double that number.
