• SYRACUSE: Started for an offensive line that paved the way for 568 yards of total offense (283 rushing with three touchdowns, 285 passing with three touchdowns) and 33:50 time of possession. 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 have now won the time of possession battle in nine of 10 games this season. They now average 34:09 per game, which continues to lead the ACC by more than two minutes per game, and ranks sixth among all FBS teams and third among all Power 5 teams. 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.
