Brian Kelly and the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame finally got their game going as they manhandled Michigan State 31-13 from South Bend.
Saturday’s victory for the Irish marked their second win in the past three years and their fifth victory out of the past fifteen meetings between the two teams.
“I though Notre Dame played very well, especially on the defensive side of the ball,” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. “And they ran the football in the first half, which I think was the key to some of their success.”
Notre Dame, who got their first win of the season were able to eat up a lot of time with two long scoring drives as well as two plays on special teams. At half time the Irish had a 21-10 lead.
