22 OCT. 12, 2019 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED to Notre Dame's 43 after three quar- ters, but the Irish had garnered 482 yards (326 passing and 156 rushing) compared to Bowling Green's 219 (116 rushing and 103 passing). Notes: Bowling Green drove 52 yards following Notre Dame's sec- ond-half kickoff and converted two third-and-nine situations with 15- yard completions to wide receiver Quintin Morris … The drive ended when Okwara broke through the middle to block Nate Needham's 40-yard field goal attempt with 8:54 remaining … Notre Dame then drove 68 yards, led by Jones' runs on the first two plays, to set up a 27-yard field goal by junior kicker Jonathan Doerer at the 7:12 mark. FOURTH QUARTER: NOTRE DAME, 52-0 Top Moment: In his second series of the game, Jurkovec steered a 79- yard touchdown drive, with sopho- more running back C'Bo Flemister crashing over from one yard out for the 52-0 advantage with 6:56 left in the contest. Standout Performer: Jurkovec scrambled six yards for a first down on third-and-five, added a nifty 19- yard weaving scramble, followed by keeping the next play for six yards off the zone read. He also completed two short passes during the march. In his two series, he accounted for 121 total yards — 79 passing, with a touchdown, and 42 rushing on only four carries, making him Notre Dame's second-leading rusher in the game. Stats: Bowling Green finished with merely nine total yards in the final quarter and 228 overall in 69 plays. Notre Dame's 61 plays netted 573 yards (340 passing and 233 rushing). Notes: For the first time in Notre Dame history, an Irish team re- corded six touchdown passes in two games during the same season … On Sept. 14, two Irish quarterbacks totaled six scoring passes in the 66-14 win versus New Mexico … Senior walk-on running back Mick Assaf dragged several defenders with him during a determined 13-yard gain on a third-and-11 situation on the game's final series. ✦ BGSU ND FIRST QUARTER ND Tremble 17-yard pass from Book (Doerer kick) 9:32 0 7 Drive: 6 plays, 80 yards, 1:58 ND Kmet 21-yard pass from Book (Doerer kick) 6:51 0 14 Drive: 3 plays, 46 yards, 0:59 ND Claypool 34-yard pass from Book (Doerer kick) 4:44 0 21 Drive: 4 plays, 50 yards, 1:20 SECOND QUARTER ND Claypool 8-yard pass from Book (Doerer kick) 6:49 0 28 Drive: 4 plays, 53 yards, 1:27 ND McKinley 25-yard pass from Book (Doerer kick) 1:24 0 35 Drive: 6 plays, 78 yards. 3:03 THIRD QUARTER ND Doerer 27-yard field goal 7:12 0 38 Drive: 6 plays, 68 yards, 1:42 ND Davis 7-yard pass from Jurkovec (Leonard kick) 2:23 0 45 Drive: 6 plays, 75 yards, 1:48 FOURTH QUARTER ND Flemister 1-yard run (Leonard kick) 6:56 0 52 Drive: 12 plays, 79 yards, 5:50 BGSU ND Total First Downs 14 27 Rushing 7 13 Passing 7 13 Penalty 0 1 Rushing Attempts 42 34 Yards Gained Rushing 157 246 Yards Lost Rushing 39 13 Net Yards Rushing 118 233 Net Yards Passing 110 340 Passes Attempted 27 27 Passes Completed 15 21 Had Intercepted 1 0 Percent Completion 55.6% 77.8% Yards Per Attempt 4.1 12.6 Yards Per Completion 7.3 16.2 Total Offensive Plays 69 61 Total Net Yards 228 573 Average Gain Per Play 3.3 9.4 Fumbles: No.-Lost 2-0 0-0 Penalties: No.-Yards 6-39 1-5 Punts: No.-Yards 8-346 2-91 Average Per Punt 43.2 45.5 Average Net Punt 38.8 43.5 Punt Returns: No.-Yards 2-4 4-36 Kickoff Returns: No.-Yards 2-25 0-0 Interception Returns: No.-Yards 0-0 1-0 Fumble Returns: No.-Yards 0-0 0-0 Miscellaneous Yards 0 0 Possession Time 33:20 26:40 Third-Down Conversions 8-19 8-11 Percentage 42.1% 72.7% Fourth-Down Conversions 0-2 0-0 Percentage 0.0% 0.0% Sacks By: No.-Yards 0-0 2-25 NOTRE DAME 52, BOWLING GREEN 0 Oct. 5, 2019 ✦ Attendance: 77,622 Notre Dame Stadium ✦ South Bend, Ind.
