UNDER THE DOME Brown's catch total represents the lowest total for the top returning Irish player in a new season since 2002, when junior Omar Jenkins' seven was the highest career output. 325 Highest weight total on Notre Dame's 2014 team, which is shared by three play- ers — all freshmen, an unusual oc- currence. Offensive tackle QUEN- TO N N E L S O N and defensive linemen Daniel Cage and Peter Mokwuah are all listed at that number. Last year 's heaviest freshman, offensive guard John Montelus, checked in at 340 but is down to 310 this fall. 326-107-5 All-time record in Notre Dame Stadium, starting in 1930, on a grass field, a .750 winning percentage. The 439th game, versus Rice Aug. 30, will mark the first time it will be on a dif- ferent surface at home. 1903 The most recent year, until now, in which none of Notre Dame's first six games were played on the home campus of its opponent. Four of the first six Fighting Irish games this year are at home, and the first two road contests are at Indianapolis versus Purdue (Sept. 13) in the Shamrock Series and Sept. 27 in East Rutherford, N.J., against Syracuse. The first on-campus road game won't be until Oct. 18 at No. 1 Florida State. PHOTO BY JOE RAYMOND
