Luke Talich scored on an 84-yard pass on a fake punt and No. 9 Notre Dame won its 10th straight, routing Stanford 49-20 on Saturday night after a scary moment for star running back Jeremiyah Love. Afterward, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said he felt his team has done enough to be considered for the CFP. The fourth-leading rusher in the nation and a Heisman Trophy contender, Love was shaken up after running for a short gain midway through the first quarter. He remained down for a few moments, walked to the locker room and didn't return until the second half. Love finished with 66 yards (8 after returning) and scored his 21st touchdown of the season, breaking Jerome Bettis' school record for overall TDs while tying Audrice Estime's record of 18 rushing touchdowns in a season.

Backups Jadarian Price and Aneyas Williams combined for 178 total yards of offense and four touchdowns. CJ Carr threw for 205 yards and two touchdowns as Notre Dame (10-2) retained the Legends Trophy. Elijah Brown passed for 204 yards and a touchdown with one interception for Stanford (4-8). Emmett Kenney added two field goals. Talich scored on a 4th-and-19 pass from Joshua Burnham in the second quarter. The Irish scored touchdowns on each of their first four drives, led 28-3 at halftime then coasted. It's the fourth time in the last eight seasons that Notre Dame has had a winning streak of 10 games or longer. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

11/23/25 - Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, So/2028, Notre Dame, 6-3, 230 (DS#8 ILB) + More +

Notre Dame will be without key linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa for the remainder of the season after he suffered a left knee injury in Saturday's 70-7 win against Syracuse. Viliamu-Asa was hurt late in the first half against the Orange and didn't return in the second half. The sophomore from Inland Empire, California, is second on the team with 7.5 tackles for loss to go with 48 total tackles, 3 sacks, 5 quarterback hurries and an interception in 11 games. The No. 5 outside linebacker prospect in the 2024 SC Next rankings, Viliamu-Asa started one game as a freshman in 2024 and two more this season. He had a career-high nine tackles and two tackles for loss in a 25-10 win at Boston College on Nov. 1. The Irish also announced that reserve cornerback Chance Tucker will miss the rest of the season with a left tibia injury. He had played in four games this season. Notre Dame (9-2) closes the regular season at Stanford on Saturday night (10:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). - AP College Football

11/22/25 - Jeremiyah Love, Jr/2027, Notre Dame, 6-0, 214 (DS#1 RB) + More +

Jeremiyah Love bolstered his Heisman Trophy candidacy with 171 yards rushing and three touchdowns on just eight carries, and No. 9 Notre Dame blew out injury-decimated Syracuse 70-7 on Saturday. Love's touchdown runs covered 45, 14 and 68 yards. Notre Dame (9-2) set a modern-era scoring record, topping its 69-point outing against Georgia Tech on Nov. 5, 1977. The Fighting Irish had not scored 70 points since they had 73 against Haskell in 1932. Syracuse allowed 70 points for the first time since it gave up 75 to Union in 1891. Notre Dame scored 21 points before its offense even took the field on Saturday - returning two interceptions and a blocked punt for touchdowns - en route to its ninth straight win after an 0-2 start. Syracuse (3-8) has lost seven straight. The Fighting Irish also set a school record for first-quarter points with 35. The previous record was 28, which happened four times, most recently in 2017 against Miami (Ohio).

It could have been more: The quarter ended with the Fighting Irish on the Syracuse 1. Notre Dame's 49-0 halftime lead was also a school record. Its previous high for points in a half was 45 against Georgia Tech in 1973. Jalen Stroman, starting in place of injured defensive back Tae Johnson, returned an interception 44 yards for a touchdown on Syracuse's second play. Four plays later, Stroman blocked a punt that Luke Talich caught and returned 22 yards to the end zone. Leonard Moore had Notre Dame's third pick-6 in its last two games, intercepting a pass by Joe Filardi and racing 46 yards to the end zone. When Notre Dame's offense finally took field at the 7:08 mark of the first quarter, the Fighting Irish showed their explosiveness, with Love's 45-yard TD run on their second offensive play and a 58-yard TD run by Jadarian Price on their fifth play. Notre Dame's C.J. Carr played sparingly, completing 5 of 9 passes for 49 yards and a touchdown. Filardi, a walk-on freshman, threw for 83 yards with three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns. After his second pick-6, he was pulled briefly for Luke Carney. Filardi returned and ran for a 6-yard touchdown with 7 seconds left in the game. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

WEEK 12 WALTER CAMP NATIONAL FBS DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: TAE JOHNSON, NOTRE DAME, Freshman, Safety, Fort Wayne, IN,...Freshman safety Tae Johnson was all over the field for No. 9 Notre Dame in its 37-15 win over No. 22 Pittsburgh. Johnson had one interception in which he returned for a touchdown, five tackles and a shared tackle for loss in the contest. Johnson led the Irish defense which stifled a Pitt offense all afternoon, which entered the day averaging 39.7 points (to just 15 points), 426.8 yards per game (to just 219 yards). With the win, Notre Dame improved to 8-2. Notes: It is the second time this season a Notre Dame player has earned Walter Camp National Player of Week honors (fellow Irish Safety Leonard Moore was honored on Oct. 7) and 17th overall since the award was started in 2004. - Walter Camp Football Foundation

11/15/25 - Jeremiyah Love, Jr/2027, Notre Dame, 6-0, 214 (DS#1 RB) + More +

Jeremiyah Love ran for 147 yards and a score, Malachi Fields hauled in a pair of touchdown passes and No. 9 Notre Dame breezed past No. 23 Pittsburgh 37-15 on Saturday. The Fighting Irish (8-2) have won eight straight games by an average of 26 points since their 0-2 start. Notre Dame likely needs to merely avoid upset bids by Syracuse or Stanford to end the season to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. Love gave his burgeoning Heisman Trophy campaign a boost by finishing with 167 yards of total offense, the highlight coming on a 56-yard sprint to the end zone in the first quarter that included a spin move at midfield that left Pitt's Kavir Bains-Marquez grasping at air.

Notre Dame's Tae Johnson picked off Heintschel on the next play from scrimmage and raced 48 yards to the end zone to give the Irish an early 14-point lead they never squandered. C.J. Carr threw for 212 yards with two interceptions and touchdown passes of 25 and 6 yards to Fields. The 6-foot-4 Fields made a leaping grab at the goal line to secure the first score late in the first half, then effectively put the game out of reach early in the second half by barrelling into the end zone against a game but ineffective Pitt defense that was physically overmatched at times. It was much the same on the other side of the ball, as Notre Dame kept Panthers true freshman quarterback Mason Heintschel in check. Pitt's rise to near the top of the ACC standings began when Heintschel supplanted Eli Holstein to start October. Heintschel's impressive start hit its first significant speed bump against an Irish defense that gave him little time or space to work. Heintschel completed just 16 of 33 passes for 126 yards with an interception while getting sacked four times. He had a 2-point conversion attempt late in the third quarter returned 100-plus yards the other way by Irish safety Adon Shuler to put Notre Dame up 30-9 and end any remote chance of a comeback after a pick-6 by Pitt's Rasheem Biles had briefly given the Panthers a jolt. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

11/08/25 - CJ Carr, rFr/2029, Notre Dame, 6-2, 210 (DS#5 QB) + More +

C.J. Carr threw for 218 yards and three touchdowns and No. 10 Notre Dame beat Navy 49-10 on a snowy Saturday night for its seventh consecutive victory. Carr completed 13 of 16 passes and Notre Dame (7-2) led 42-10 when he gave way to backup quarterback Kenny Minchey late in the third quarter. Carr wasn't bothered by the steady rain that later became snow. "I love it," Carr said. "Being from Michigan, I played in the rain and the snow. You'd rather play in the sunshine, but I can handle it." Jeremiyah Love gained 94 yards on 13 carries and scored two touchdowns. He scored on a stunning 48-yard run where he went down but didn't touch the turf, rolling off a defender and racing to the end zone after regaining his footing.

Aneyas Williams added a 54-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. "I'm obviously proud of the way our guys battled," Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said. "It's always a great challenge when you get ready to play Navy just because of the uniqueness of their schemes on both sides of the ball. It is difficult to prepare for because it's not something you see every week and it's a good team." Navy (7-2) played without quarterback Blake Horvath after he was injured last week in a 31-17 loss to North Texas "We didn't want to put him in harm's way and make something worse," Navy coach Brian Newberry said. "I didn't feel comfortable putting him out there. Hopefully, he'll be out there next week." Braxton Woodson started in place of Horvath and gained 101 yards on 23 carries. He scored Navy's lone TD on a 2-yard run that tied it at 7. Navy entered the game leading the nation in rushing (317 yards a game). The Midshipmen gained 154 yards on the ground in the first half, but were limited to 52 in the second. "I really didn't think it would be as lop-sided as it was," Newberry said. "I thought we came out in the first half and played relatively well. They had a couple of explosive passes. We were able to stop the run for the most part. The difference was on defense, not being able to get off the field on third downs." - Notre Dame/AP College Football

11/01/25 - Jeremiyah Love, Jr/2027, Notre Dame, 6-0, 214 (DS#1 RB) + More +

Jeremiyah Love broke free through the middle, and finally No. 12 Notre Dame could see some daylight. Love's 94-yard touchdown run on the first play after an interception squelched a potential game-tying drive helped the Fighting Irish win 25-10 on Saturday against a surprisingly stout, one-win Boston College team. "We know there's a lot of things to clean up," Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said after earning his sixth straight victory. "The challenges will get tougher. ... As you move farther into November, everything is magnified." Although Notre Dame (6-2) had been a 28 1/2-point favorite coming into the game against the only other Catholic school in FBS, the game was scoreless through one quarter and the Irish had a 12-7 lead at the half.

BC (1-8) trailed just 18-10 early in the fourth quarter - thanks to three missed Irish kicks - and had a chance to tie it before Adon Shuler intercepted Grayson James inside the Notre Dame 5-yard line with 11:21 left. On the next play, Love went up the middle before heading for the left sideline and outracing the defenders to the end zone. "I don't think we were perfect tonight, but we were relentless," said linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa, who had nine tackles and 1 1/2 sacks. "And we never stopped playing hard." Love ran for 136 yards and two touchdowns for the Irish, who haven't lost since Sept. 13, when they dropped their second straight to a ranked team, by a combined four points. They beat BC for the 10th time in a row since 2008. CJ Carr completed 18 of 25 passes for 299 yards with a 40-yard touchdown to Malachi Fields and a 44-yarder to Will Pauling in the second quarter. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

WEEK 8 ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jeremiyah Love, Notre Dame,...Love rushed for a career-high 228 yards and a touchdown in the Fighting Irish's 34-24 win over Southern California. Love's total was the sixth-highest on the Notre Dame all-time list, and he became the 14th player in program history to run for over 200 yards while leading a rushing attack that accounted for 306 of the offense's 442 total yards. He averaged 9.6 yards per carry on 24 attempts. No player for the Irish had ever run for so many yards in the 512 games played at Notre Dame Stadium, which opened in 1930. Love's 134 first-half rushing yards were the most in the opening half for Notre Dame since Julius Jones' 171 against Stanford in 2003. - AP College Football

C.J. Carr passed for 342 yards and two touchdowns, and No. 16 Notre Dame pulled away from N.C. State in the second half for a 36-7 victory on Saturday. Carr connected on 19 of 31 passes, including TD tosses of 18 yards to K.K. Smith and 12 yards to Will Pauling in the third quarter.

Notre Dame led 10-7 at halftime. The Fighting Irish outscored the Wolfpack 26-0 in the second half. C.J. Bailey connected with Terrell Anderson on a 45-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter for the Wolfpack (4-3). Notre Dame came up with three interceptions and hit the Wolfpack for four sacks, five tackles for loss and a safety. N.C. State entered the game averaging 447.7 yards of total offense a game, but only managed 233 yards on Saturday. - Notre Dame/AP College Football

WEEK 6 WALTER CAMP NATIONAL FBS DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: LEONARD MOORE, NOTRE DAME, Sophomore, Corner Back, Round Rock, TX,...Leonard Moore had two interceptions, forced one fumble and totaled six tackles in Notre Dame's 28-7 win over Boise State. The sophomore was also responsible for two third-down stops on the day. His second interception sealed the game for the Irish, allowing the offense to kneel out the clock to secure the 28-7 win. Moore and the Irish (3-2) defense stymied a Boise State offense, holding it to 200 yards less than its season average. Notes: It is the 16th time a Notre Dame player has earned Walter Camp National Player of Week honors since 2004. It is the fourth straight season a ND defensive back has earned Defensive Player of Week honors. Moore joins former teammates Benjamin Morrison (Nov. 6, 2022) and Xavier Watts (Oct. 17, 2023 and Dec. 3, 2024). - Walter Camp Football Foundation

CJ Carr matched a Notre Dame freshman record with four touchdown passes and Jeremiyah Love caught two scoring passes and rushed for two more scores as the No. 22 Fighting Irish beat Arkansas 56-13 Saturday. Carr went 22 for 30 passing for 354 yards and matched the TD passing record set by Ron Powlus, who threw for four scores in his first career game against Northwestern in 1994. Carr, a redshirt freshman, threw for 294 yards and the four TDs in the first half, leading scoring drives of 75, 73, 75, 70, 75 and 45 yards. He did not play in the fourth quarter as Notre Dame led by 36 points. Love caught TD passes of 7 and 34 yards, and had scoring runs of 1 and 3 yards, finishing with 14 carries and 57 yards.

Also for Notre Dame (2-2), Jadarian Price scored twice, on a 35-yard strike from Carr and on a 3-yard run. Carr also found Will Pauling with a 23-yard TD strike, and Aneyas Williams completed Notre Dame's scoring with a 17-yard run in the fourth quarter. Arkansas' defense allowed 420 yards in the first half and 643 in the game. Notre Dame converted one fourth down and three third downs on what looked to be its final drive of the second quarter as Love capped a 12-play, 75-yard drive from three yards out. But, Raylen Sharpe fumbled on Arkansas' next offensive play, giving the ball back to the Fighting Irish at the Arkansas 45 with 19 seconds left in the half. Carr completed a 10-yard pass to Jordan Faison, then tied Powlus' mark with a strike to Price, who raced from one side of the field to the other, needing to shake off just one arm tackle before scoring. Arkansas (2-3) quarterback Taylen Green, who entered the game tied for third in FBS in touchdown passes, couldn't muster a response. He finished 17 of 32 passing for 207 yards with an interception and no touchdowns. - Notre Dame/AP College Football
