Notre Dame was expecting a challenge while opening the 2015 season against a Power 5 conference team for the first team in half a decade. That did not happen on Saturday night as the Irish slowly suffocated the Texas Longhorns for a blowout 38-3 victory.
Play-Call of the Game: Zaire 66-yard Touchdown Pass to Fuller
Texas seemed to have two goals in mind on defense. One, take away the Irish screen game. Two, don't let Zaire get yardage on the ground. Funnily enough, the Horns did a good job in both areas. Unfortunately, Notre Dame is capable of hurting a defense in many ways.
