BLUEGOLDONLINE.COM NOV. 8, 2025 27 him two games but affected him in oth- ers. The injury itself is no longer be- lieved to be bothering Burnette, but the technique issues that stemmed from it definitely are. Last season, the Irish dealt with a similar issue when Mitch Jeter missed time with a hip injury of his own. His confidence appeared shot as he went 1 of 5 on field goals in November, but eventually, he found his former self. Notre Dame would not have reached the national championship game without 5 massive field goals — all from 40-plus yards — from Jeter in the Sugar and Or- ange Bowls. But Jeter made all his extra points. His cold streak never got this bad. It's at the point where the field goal unit is demoralizing for the rest of the Irish, who watched six hard-earned points fly off the board. "We've got to figure this thing out, because our team deserves for us to be able to make extra points and field goals," Freeman said. "For us to reach the potential that we believe we have, we better fix it with urgency." Translation: If Notre Dame does not find a solution, a missed kick will pre- maturely end its season. And the search party is running out of time. — Jack Soble NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att. Gain Lost Net Avg.
