Jeremiyah Love scores 3 TDs as No. 9 Notre Dame overwhelms injury-ravaged Syracuse 70-7
Notre Dame has set several school records for scoring, thanks to a 70-7 rout of injury-decimated Syracuse. Jeremiyah Love bolstered his Heisman Trophy candidacy with 171 yards rushing and three touchdowns on just eight carries for the ninth-ranked Fighting Irish in Saturday’s romp. Notre Dame set a modern-era scoring record, topping its 69-point outing against Georgia Tech on Nov. 5, 1977. Syracuse allowed 70 points for the first time since it gave up 75 to Union in 1891. Notre Dame also set school records for first-quarter points with 35 and first-half points with 49. The Fighting Irish have won nine straight after an 0-2 start.
