He and his squad then responded by showing steady signs of improvement and winning three-straight games to set up a stretch of what appeared to be the most winnable of games. 21, or 15 more points than Notre Dame has scored in first quarters this entire year.Īfter laying an egg against Marshall (a team who remains having just one FBS win this season) I wrote that the honeymoon stage for Marcus Freeman was officially over at Notre Dame. In case you were wondering, Tennessee scored 21 points in the first quarter Saturday in their upset of No. Notre Dame lit up Georgia Tech for 24 first quarter points on Senior Day last year and if you take out that anomaly against what was a truly awful Yellow Jackets outfit, the Irish are putting up just 3.4 points per first quarter in the other 18 games. That averages out to 4.5 first quarter points per game in that span which doesn’t feel great.Īdd in this, however. Since the start of 2021, a 19 game span, Notre Dame has scored a grand total of 86 points in the first quarter. On Sunday afternoon I decided to go into the numbers a bit on Notre Dame’s slow start and the numbers are incredibly concerning over the last two years, the two years Tommy Rees has been offensive coordinator. Last night I was again upset after Notre Dame’s offense was non-existent in the first half, in fact putting up a goose egg in the first half against Stanford.
