team since the turn of the 21st century. Only the 380-yard effort in a 28-16 victory versus Boston College eclipsed it. This year's Miami game marked the sixth time since 2000 the Irish totaled more than 300 yards on the ground in a game. Notre Dame hasn't reached the 400-yard rushing mark in a contest since the Lou Holtz era (1986-96), when
in 1931. The modern-day record — or since full NCAA stats were first kept in 1946 — is 597 during a 47-0 win versus Navy in 1969. Notre Dame actually had five seasons in the modern era where it averaged 300 or more yards rushing.
