Notre Dame Overcomes a Slow Start and Finishes with Lambeau Leaps in a 41-13 Win over Wisconsin
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.
