UNDER THE DOME
1930
The most recent season in which Notre Dame had a 5-0 November. Head coach Knute
Rockne's final Fighting Irish team not only won all five contests from Nov. 1-29, but
clinched its second straight consensus national title with a 27-0 victory at USC Dec. 6 to cap the 10-0
regular season. This year will mark the first time since 2008 Notre Dame will have an opportunity to be
5-0 in November. That '08 team was 1-4.
70.9
Percent of Notre Dame's total
offense achieved by senior
quarterback E V E R E T T
GOLSON during the 6-0 start at the halfway point
of the regular season with his 1,892 yards (1,683
passing and 209 rushing). Per ESPN Stats, there
were 21 "Power Five" quarterbacks the past five
years that accounted for at least 70 percent of
their team's offense — and only Texas A&M's
Johnny Manziel in 2012 played on a team that
won at least 10 games. The average for those 21
teams was six wins.
