The game, held at Wayne Day Family Field at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, saw the Notre Dame Fighting Irish demonstrate their offensive capabilities early on.

The Wolfpack did not go down without showing resilience; they scored ten points in the third quarter and added another seven points in the fourth quarter but were unable to overcome Notre Dame's lead or staunch defense.

Penalties played a role as well; ND incurred ten penalties totaling eighty-two penalty yards which could have been costly on another day but ultimately did not deter them from securing victory.
