First Quarter


The first quarter set the tone for the entire game as the Fighting Irish exploded onto the field with an overwhelming offensive display. Scoring an astonishing 35 points, they left no room for doubt about their dominance. Key to this early success was running back Jeremiyah Love, who showcased his agility and speed by rushing for a total of 171 yards and securing three touchdowns during this period alone.


Second Quarter


Continuing their momentum into the second quarter, ND added another 14 points to their tally while maintaining a solid defensive stance that kept Cuse scoreless. The defense was led by standout performances from players like Jalen Stroman and Leonard Moore, each contributing crucial interceptions that thwarted any potential advances from Syracuse.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, ND's defense continued to shine. Drayk Bowen made significant contributions with his tackling prowess and sack on Syracuse's quarterback. Offensively, quarterback CJ Carr maintained control of the game with precise passing that resulted in another touchdown drive.


Fourth Quarter


In the final quarter of play, both teams managed to find the end zone once more; however, it was too little too late for Cuse as they only managed one touchdown against ND's relentless attack which added two more scores before time expired. A notable moment came when Luke Talich returned a punt for a touchdown further cementing ND’s comprehensive win.


The Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Syracuse Orange final score reflected not just offensive might but also strategic defensive plays that ensured minimal scoring opportunities for their opponents throughout all four quarters.


Looking ahead to next week’s matchup against Stanford Cardinal at Stanford Stadium on November 29th at 10:30 PM EST broadcasted on ESPN; fans can expect another exciting performance from this well-rounded team underlining why they are considered formidable contenders this season.
