Wisconsin Gets Crushed by Notre Dame 41-13 at Lambeau Field
Notre Dame scored on every second-half possession, but its 13-10 halftime lead and 1.8 yards per rush raised concerns, analysts said.
On Sunday, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish defeated the Wisconsin Badgers 41-13 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, securing a dominant second-half performance after a sluggish opening.
Notre Dame struggled early, holding only a 13-10 halftime lead against Wisconsin while failing to convert all six third-down attempts during the opening half.
Cornerback D.J. McKinney ignited the turnaround with a 55-yard interception return for a touchdown, while running back Aneyas Williams added two touchdowns as the Fighting Irish outscored the Badgers 28-3 in the second half.
Head coach Marcus Freeman praised the team's adjustment, stating, "The biggest thing was your ability to just let go of what you thought this game was gonna be like."
The Fighting Irish face Rice next Saturday, though critics argue that "nothing about this game should inspire confidence heading into the teeth of the schedule" this season.
