Everything About Notre Dame Football

Notre Dame 41, Army 9

Brady Quinn and the Irish came out of the tunnel with their green jerseys for the second straight year, but this time they came out with a win, beating Army 41-9.

Derek Landri blocked his fourth kick this season-he is a plow!!! (Special teams note-Carl Gioia also missed another PAT. What else is new???)

Darius Walker had a big game, scoring two touchdowns. (He should've had three, but fumbled the ball prior to the goal line, and it was recovered by David Grimes)

Victory Lap for the Seniors

"Beat SC!!! Beat SC!!! Beat SC!!!"

Free safety Chinedum Ndukwe finished the game with a career high 22 tackles, which places third in the Notre Dame record books for most tackles in a single game. Linebacker Bob Crable holds the record, as he tallied 26 tackles in 1979 against Clemson.

Rhema McKnight had a record breaking day, too. He now has passed Tom Gatewood for the school record in career receptions; Rhema now has 158 career receptions.
He also passed Jim Seymour for the school record in single season receptions and is now tied with Jeff Samardzija; Rhema has 55 receptions this season.
Rhema is now tied for third place in career receiving touchdowns; he has 19 receiving touchdowns now.

Terrail Lambert had a huge 76-yard return off a blocked field goal, thanks to Trevor Laws. Notre Dame has been great this season by means of blocking kicks; Trevor Laws and Derek Landri are an awesome pair on the field goal block team. Obey the Laws.

This is a picture of the "Jolly Green Feet" decal that the Irish wore on their helmets to honor DB coach Bill Lewis's son, Gregg, who was killed in a helicopter training mission accident in 1988. The logo with the feet is a tribute to him because he was on his high school's track team, and was elected as a team captain his senior year.

Notre Dame 45, North Carolina 26

The Shark breaks the record for career touchdown catches with this touchdown, his 23rd touchdown catch in his career at Notre Dame. Hard to believe this when he started for the first time last season, racking up 15 touchdowns, and so far, 8 this season.
