On the offensive: George Atkinson III rushed for 123 yards and Cierre Wood rushed for 118, the first time since 2002 that Notre Dame had two 100-yard rushers in one game.

Getting defensive: Another 10-tackle night for Manti Te’o, with a pass break-up to boot.

The number: 2. First-half catches by Irish tight end Tyler Eifert, doubling his total receptions from the previous two games.

They’re still talking about: Irish QB Everett Golson breaking a team rule, missing a start, and then rebounding with a near-flawless, confidence-building performance.

Looking ahead: Notre Dame hosts one-loss Stanford on Saturday in a huge showdown for its BCS hopes.
