Notre Dame moved to 3-0 with a 27-10 win over Michigan State on Saturday night, powered by CJ Carr's eight completions to Micah Gilbert for 170 yards and Nolan James Jr. topping 100 rushing yards for the first time in his career. The Irish defense held all three opponents under 70 rushing yards this season, but the offense still lacks explosiveness on the ground, with no 20-yard rushing play yet. A failed fake punt in the first quarter, with Braden Robinson stopped 2 yards short, added to questions about play-calling as Notre Dame searches for more consistency.
