00:00The first ever meeting between Notre Dame and Arkansas.
00:04Both teams desperately need a win to calm the fears of their respective fan base.
00:09To Rodney Hill.
00:14It'll be a touchback.
00:16Arkansas will start on the 25 with Talon Green, 22 years of age.
00:21Three years at Boise State, now in his second season with Arkansas.
00:25Talon Green can really make you pay.
00:26And he will run it here on second down.
00:30And Green has a first down out to the 39-yard line.
00:35Kingston, Villian Lassa has been really good and continues to get better.
00:39Omega Blake, the go-to guy outside.
00:41Eli Raritan, a tight end, has been special for Notre Dame.
00:44Down the seam, the pass is caught inside the Notre Dame 30 by Blake.
00:48He's the leading receiver.
00:50Right up the seam and a perfect find from Talon Green.
00:54Splits the zone coverage.
00:55Nobody in the middle of the field and a strike down the middle.
00:59After being one of the top defenses in the country last year.
01:04Raylan Russell gets the carry off the left side.
01:09Officially 39-yard attempt.
01:11And it's good.
01:21So Arkansas gets points on its opening drive.
01:29Car from the pocket.
01:31And a receiver comes free.
01:33It's Fields in the middle of the field.
01:35And a first down out to the 38-yard line.
01:39The Virginia transfer has come up big in each game so far.
01:42It's so good.
01:43Watch this offensive line work the time that C.J. Carr has to survey the field and allow Malachi
01:49Fields to come wide open there in the center of your field.
01:53Just outstanding.
01:54Love motioning out of the backfield.
01:57So empty set here for Carr.
01:58And second down and eight.
02:00Has time from the pocket.
02:02Love comes free.
02:03And he makes the catch.
02:05A flag is down.
02:06He got tangled up with Bradley Shaw in coverage.
02:10He's a very good pass catcher.
02:11So they motion him out here.
02:12It's just man-to-man coverage.
02:14And he's going to come down the field.
02:15And he's going to win outside.
02:17Bradley Shaw gets too much contact.
02:22And a wide open Jeremiah Love.
02:25Instead, they call it on the defense.
02:28Carr again with time.
02:29Launching it down the sideline.
02:31And it hit the back of the intended.
02:34Actually, Jordan Young, the nickel, who is covering Jaden Greathouse.
02:37They're trying to get him going again.
02:39He's only got two catches.
02:40Jordan Young, they want to get Jaden Greathouse more involved in this offense.
02:52Here's Love running it.
02:53First down and more.
02:55Spun down finally at the 15.
02:57After a 16-yard run on third down.
03:00Watch this double team here as you see Raritan get up to the next level.
03:04But Anthony Knapp really does a nice job allowing that edge to be set.
03:09Pancakes Roads.
03:10With this backfield here for Notre Dame as good as anybody in the country.
03:17Play nine of the drive for the Irish.
03:19There's a Price run.
03:20And Price able to keep his balance and dive.
03:22And in for a Notre Dame touchdown.
03:24How about the balance to stay on one arm and dive.
03:35Can that ball extend over the goal line when that elbow hits?
03:38One of the toughest runs of the year.
03:40And Love gets hit here and again bounces off the defender and in for the Irish touchdown.
03:47He shows that muscle again.
03:52Fighting through contact.
03:53He gets drilled right at about the one-yard line but never gives up.
03:58Legs continue to turn.
04:00And I Walker can't get him to the ground.
04:0141 rushing yards on seven attempts on the opening drive for Notre Dame.
04:07Carr will throw on first down and hits Raritan in the tight end.
04:11A first down out to the 45-yard line.
04:14A chunk play on first down through the air.
04:16So impressed watching Raritan.
04:18Watch him.
04:18He's going to sneak out and work away from the defender.
04:21And a good find by C.J. Carr.
04:23But Raritan's ability to block and now to become that safety valve as a pass catcher.
04:28So far, Notre Dame handling the 11 a.m. start quite well.
04:33First time C.J. Carr has been in that position.
04:35He flips it downfield to an open receiver.
04:38Will Pauling on the catch and then thrown out of bounds.
04:41Was he inbounds when the play was made by Julian Neal?
04:44The officials say yes, so no penalty flag.
04:47This work right here, wide open.
04:49C.J. Carr moving to his right.
04:51Good footworked, accurate throw to a wide open Pauling.
04:56It's good execution.
04:58Pryce trying to get the edge.
05:03He does at the 20.
05:06And around the 10-yard line, he goes out of bounds.
05:09Watch these guys go to work here.
05:11Here, and you're going to see Faison come through here and get a key block as well.
05:15Everybody working in tandem.
05:18Raritan with a nice block.
05:19Faison coming out.
05:20Pryce just gives a little bit of shimmy inside.
05:23Sets it up and then able to get to the perimeter and get to the edge.
05:27This Notre Dame rushing attack looking just like it did a week ago against Purdue.
05:31Carl, Love out of the backfield.
05:39Fakes the defender, miss.
05:41It scores.
05:42Touchdown, Notre Dame.
05:43What an incredible spin by Love as soon as he caught the ball and sends contact.
05:52A bigger roll in the throw game.
05:55Dump it down outside.
05:57Kanai Walker can't get him to the ground.
05:59A spin.
06:00Second time in the end zone for Jeremiah Love.
06:10And Washington gets the first down and more.
06:14Dragging a Notre Dame defender to the 46-yard line.
06:17Boy, did Arkansas need that.
06:20Which is good inside.
06:21Getting a little push on the interior.
06:24Making enough space.
06:25And then it's good physical running from Washington.
06:28He finds a sliver.
06:30Get through.
06:31And good explosion once he hits the second level.
06:34Didn't start this game.
06:35You wonder if that's because of the fumble.
06:40Washington has some space.
06:43A flag down.
06:44And Washington knocked down at the 25.
06:47Good position initially.
06:49And watch his hand just get a little bit too high.
06:52And it's ultimately what draws the flag.
06:54It's a good position at first.
06:56And then as Young works inside.
07:03Green.
07:05Nice catch by Jalen Brown.
07:07It's going to be close to a first down.
07:09He coughed up the ball.
07:11They're going to rule him down though.
07:13Remember, he had the fumble.
07:14He comes to the ground.
07:17That ball doesn't start moving.
07:20So he goes down.
07:22Yeah, that ground causes that.
07:23Good call on the field.
07:25But you've got to fake mental.
07:29Trying to find some room is Washington.
07:32And he gets the first down.
07:33Just enough to move the chains.
07:36Fullback, Maddox Lasseter.
07:37Just good physical football there from Arkansas.
07:41Second straight game that Moore has missed.
07:44Tried to go, but out again with an ankle injury.
07:48Some room for Washington.
07:50Inside the five.
07:52It'll be first and goal from the Razorbacks.
07:56It's Amari on Harris.
07:57Watch these guys cave everything down and open it up for Washington getting downhill.
08:02Just good physicality from the right side of that offensive line for Arkansas.
08:06The offensive lineman into the backfield.
08:11And they hand it to him.
08:13The big guy pushing forward.
08:15And in for the touchdown for the Razorbacks.
08:18Kobe Branham has been so good.
08:27And how about the big man?
08:30McCroy getting a carry.
08:33Just following number 50.
08:34Let's get right behind and get the pads down and keep the legs moving.
08:38A big man.
08:39Touchdown.
08:43Car to the air.
08:44Got a receiver.
08:46It's Raritan who adjusts and makes the catch before he steps out of bounds.
08:51Here you're going to see to Eli Raritan.
08:53He's going to be working on three.
08:55Larry Worth the third.
08:56Man-to-man coverage outside.
08:57This ball plays outside and away.
09:03Price one more time.
09:05Between the tackles for a first down.
09:07And that, again, looks too easy.
09:09That they're able to get.
09:11Opening up continued holes for this Notre Dame rushing attack.
09:16Knapp getting up to the second level.
09:23Car from the pocket.
09:25Unloads over the middle.
09:26Wide open touchdown.
09:29Will Pauling got lost in the Arkansas secondary.
09:35Run it.
09:36Throw it.
09:36Take your choice.
09:37As Pauling's going to sit here, I want you to watch the protection all day for C.J. Carr to sit back, have time.
09:45Pauling comes open.
09:47C.J. Carr goes back to his second option.
09:49And it's another easy walk-in touchdown for the Irish.
09:57Here's Love.
09:58Able to break a tackle.
10:01And another first down.
10:03Dusty, you mentioned.
10:04Been a problem for the last couple weeks tackling.
10:07Xavier Ansari's the best linebacker for Arkansas.
10:09And he's got a chance to get Jeremiah Love on the ground.
10:13Jeremiah Love's tough to tackle.
10:14But missed tackles have plagued this Arkansas defense for consecutive weeks now.
10:19And when Xavier Ansari's got a running back lined up in the hole, he's got to find a way.
10:27Five-man rush.
10:28Carr gets hit as he launches it deep.
10:31And it is pulled in.
10:32What a catch inside the 35 by Greathouse.
10:38It's off the charts.
10:40Flips around.
10:42Going to tap that right foot inbounds before going out.
10:45Travis Williams, the defensive coordinator for Arkansas, with his hands full.
10:50Carr on the boot.
10:51Looking for the throwback.
10:53And it's Love out in space.
10:55Inside the 20.
10:56Turns it back upfield.
10:58Love heading for the end zone.
11:00Touchdown, Notre Dame.
11:11You can't set it up any better.
11:13Carr's going to roll this way.
11:14And the entire right side of the offensive line is going to get out in front.
11:18And they are just going to pave a path for Jeremiah Love.
11:21I mean, you cannot design it and execute it any better than this.
11:27Four big men out in front and a lot of green grass for Jeremiah Love for this Irish offense.
11:35And Green keeps it here.
11:37Finally has some running room.
11:39Green staying inbounds, hugging the sideline.
11:41And brought down near the 20.
11:45Arkansas finally gets an explosive run play from the quarterback.
11:49Watch right here off the outside.
11:51The defensive end is going to squeeze inside.
11:55They take Platt around the end and get Taylor Greene on the perimeter.
11:58Allow him to get that stride going and see an explosive play.
12:09And he drilled it.
12:14Carr flushed out.
12:17It also helps when there isn't an Arkansas player within.
12:24Because CJ Carr does have good mobility.
12:27I love this decision.
12:28We can freeze it here.
12:3014 right here.
12:31Dix is in pretty good position.
12:32He's going to stay in coverage.
12:34And his CJ Carr gives the pump fake.
12:36It's Love, able to break another tackle.
12:43And he hits Pater.
12:45Touchdown, Notre Dame.
12:46That is the fourth touchdown for Jeremiah Love in the first half.
12:52Well, the true freshman is going to kick out and block here.
12:55But watch Raritan with this block.
12:57And then the rest.
12:58It's just Jeremiah Love.
13:00Lambeau with the kick out.
13:01Raritan with the block down.
13:03And Jeremiah Love once again with the ability to make defenders.
13:12Price out in space.
13:14A ton of room.
13:16First down and more.
13:17Price is gone.
13:19Another Notre Dame touchdown.
13:21And the Boobirds out in full force here in Fayetteville.
13:31And it's just been easy all game.
13:34Jadarian Price.
13:35And it's good blocking down the field.
13:37But when he puts his foot in the ground and he cuts back,
13:40there is no one running the football.
13:42There is no help.
13:44And just another easy walk-in touchdown.
13:47And we've said that too many times here today.
13:49Unless we add an extra man in the box.
13:52So we'll see if any of that happens.
13:53But it is frustrating down here for the Arkansas Razorbacks, Dave.
13:56Well, they just got a stop there.
13:58A one-yard gain on first down.
14:00Carr does an interception to Sori.
14:05The ball came out, though, at the end.
14:07He never secured it.
14:08And it's ruled incomplete.
14:10Sori drops a sure interception.
14:12Well, Sori does a really good job collisioning Raritan
14:14when he gets to the top of his route.
14:16And just cannot secure the football.
14:20He's in perfect position.
14:21Looks like he has a pick.
14:22And as he's running with this ball,
14:24it just knocks it out on his...
14:27First time we see a punt from Notre Dame this game.
14:31But it's a fake.
14:32It's a direct snap to Love.
14:33And now on the end-to-round, face-off throws.
14:36And it's caught.
14:38Malachi Fields.
14:41All the way down to the 35-yard line.
14:46Oh, wow.
14:48Direct snap to the up-back.
14:50End-to-round.
14:51And then a pass down the field to Malachi Fields.
14:54Wow, wow, wow.
15:00Perfect execution on the fake punt.
15:05Jordan Faison.
15:07Nothing phasing this Notre Dame.
15:09An 11 a.m. kick.
15:10How do you feel about playing in an SEC stadium?
15:12He said, it's Notre Dame time.
15:14That's all I'm thinking.
15:15And, boy, he looks very poised and in control and command.
15:19First down, Malachi Fields for the Irish.
15:22Jeremiah Love just showing a little bit of anything.
15:24Watch him get outside and get this block on the corner.
15:29It's going to really spring Malachi Fields to pick up this first down.
15:34What can he do, Dave Pasch?
15:35That's what I ask you.
15:36Carr is from Michigan.
15:37His dad played quarterback at Michigan right before Tom got there.
15:43As Price, hold that thought, gets into the end zone.
15:46Untouched for another Notre Dame touchdown.
15:52The right guard, watch this blocking scheme as they're going to get out in front
16:02and just open up a massive hole here for Jadarian Price as he walks into the end zone.
16:10I thought in the second half, even against Purdue, I thought they played much better.
16:13And, yeah, this is, I think, without question, the best performance we've seen from them
16:18in a couple of games as Talon Green makes it a fin or miss and picks up a first down.
16:22But they are confident that they can get this defense righted here as the season progresses.
16:29There's a flag down, looks like a hold for sure.
16:32Talon Green slides after he got the first down, but this will come back.
16:36Now, Zachary was thrown into the fire against A&M.
16:41That was really tough, and they kind of picked on him in that game.
16:44Here's a sack from Botello taking down Talon Green at the 43 of Arkansas.
16:49Going to be 2-3, riding a three-game skid, and going into that game.
16:530-1 in the SEC.
16:55Green backing up, still backing up, being chased by Bryce Young.
16:59And Green, for some reason, didn't throw the ball on 4th and 7 there.
17:06It's been a lot of good runs, Julian.
17:10Here he's, um, inside the five breaking tackles.
17:13Aeneas Williams, another Notre Dame touchdown.
17:1655 points for the Irish.
17:21And again, this is against the first-team Arkansas defense.
17:25Second-team Notre Dame offense.
17:27To get things right and be able to figure out how to take the right step forward after this performance here today.
17:34Green, his pass intercepted in the end zone.
17:38Oh, that was well overthrown and picked off by Luke Talich.
17:44This is a very good football team, even though the record only reflects 2-2.
17:51The Notre Dame Fighting Irish put on a show in Arkansas.
17:5556-13.
17:57They roll the Razorbacks, winning their second straight after an 0-2 start.
18:04And it's the second most points scored against an SEC team in program history.
18:08You want this, you got that.
18:11No way, watch them walk right past you.
18:14Run fast, run fast while you have the chance.
18:17Don't speak, let them look right at you.
