An Awful 11 Minutes in Notre Dame FB History...


In just 10 minutes, 44 seconds of game time -- Arizona State outscored Notre Dame 49 - 0.

The all-time record for most points ever scored against Notre Dame in a full 60 minute football game is 59 -- Army did this in 1944 when they beat the Irish 59 - 0.

Arizona State's 49 points were scored on five offensive possessions totaling 183 yards -- and two "pick six" interceptions (a total of 20 plays from scrimmage / in a game that had 152 total plays) -- think about that.

Oh, by the way -- the other 49 minutes and 16 seconds of game time (132 offensive & defensive snaps) -- Notre Dame outscored Arizona State 31 - 6.
