Notre Dame 36 Syracuse 3 – Highlights and Recap
Notre Dame strolled into Yankee Stadium and completely dismantled #12 Syracuse. Actually, ND left a lot of points off the scoreboard – I’d say minimum 14.
Granted that Cuse lost their starting QB early in the game to a back injury, but he was not a factor when he was playing.
The ND defense was smothering, bouncing the Syracuse QB all over and sub Kurt Hinish NG recorded his first sack. Alohi Gilman had 2 picks while Jalen Elliott also grabbed one.
When ND stopped fooling around Ian Book took to the air went 23/37 292 yards, 2 TD’s and 1 Pick. Once again he distributed the ball so that everyone got into the act.
ND rushed for 171 yards, but Wimbush 44 and Williams 74 – long of 32 yards was most of it. ND really has to do a better job run blocking.
How far this team goes will depend on the Defense and Book’s arm.
