Notre Dame 66 New Mexico 14 – Recap And Highlights

As expected ND blew out New Mexico with all sorts of highlights although NM was able to run the ball against the ND defense.

Ian Book, when given time can go long and all day – his passes were razor sharp. He ended with 5 TD passes accounting for 366 yards.

Two of the passes were shovel passes to Avery Davis 58 yard TD and Chris Finke 54 yard TD. Claypool and McKinley had a great day receiving with McKinley scoring his first TD.

On the negative side the ND OL frequently could not get any push against smaller opponents. They had a hell of a time getting 1 yard and in one of the QB sneaks, TE Brock Wright literally had to pick Book up and drive him forward.

Georgia’s DL will be a nastier one and ND simply has to be able to run up the middle.

Here are great highlights of the game:
