Entering the game, Notre Dame was averaging 34:05 time of possession, a figure which led the ACC. Accumulating 35:04 Friday, the Irish have now won the time of possession battle in eight of nine games this season. They now average 34:12 per game, which continues to lead the ACC by more than two minutes per game, and ranks 10th among all FBS teams. The Irish posted four touchdown drives of at least 75 yards Friday, including a season-long 97-yard scoring drive. Notre Dame’s 199 rushing yards tied for second-most in the ACC this weekend, and posting 229.7 yards per game, Notre Dame has the second-ranked rushing offense in the ACC.

Notre Dame’s 568 yards of total offense were the most in the ACC that week, and ranked fourth among all Power 5 teams on the weekend. It was the fourth time this season Notre Dame’s offense has surpassed 500 yards of total offense in a single game, and it marked the most by an Irish team since 2019 vs. Bowling Green (573). It was the most by the Irish against a Power 5 opponent since 2017 vs. Wake Forest (710). Entering the game, Notre Dame was averaging 34:12 time of possession, a figure which led the ACC. Accumulating 33:50, the Irish won the time of possession battle in the ninth game this season. Notre Dame was one of just two ACC teams with multiple 100-yard rushers on the weekend (Kyren Williams and Chris Tyree), and the only winning team in the ACC to reach the feat. Notre Dame was one of just four FBS teams to boast two players with 109 rushing yards or more on the weekend.
