www.BLUEANDGOLD.com NOV. 12, 2022 27 down, unlike the others. It was in the first quarter, unlike two that were late in losses and another that came late in a comfortable win over Syracuse. Senior defensive end Isaiah Foskey's two blocks vs. UNLV were in the first quarter, but against, well, UNLV. Botelho and Kollie, though, gave Notre Dame the lead it needed. A non- offensive touchdown felt pivotal in a game where strong winds deterred throwing the ball and when it wasn't yet clear the Irish could the move the ball on Clemson's defense, which came ranked 11th in yards per rush allowed. Notre Dame went 19 yards on 5 plays before punting on its opening drive, which included 3 running back carries that totaled 10 yards. The Irish did, of course, run on Clem- son. They hung 263 yards on the Tigers and controlled the game wire to wire in part because it could move the ball on the ground. Notre Dame didn't hide from its desire to run the ball or pressure punts. Stop it if you can, in essence. Clemson halted neither. "Everybody knows we're coming after punts," Freeman said. "For them to go out and be able to execute, we're not tricking anybody. It's about the way we teach it and the way they go out and they execute, and today as of great job by the punt block unit." ✦ NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att. Gain Lost Net Avg.
