What is the score of the notre dame football game

On Oct. 28, 1905, Notre Dame turned in its greatest offensive performance of all-time, defeating American College of Medicine and Surgery of Chicago, 142-0. The Fighting Irish scored 27 touchdowns, and the game was called after 33 minutes of play, meaning the offense averaged 4.3 points per minute. Ten different players had multiple scores, led by Bill Downs’ four touchdowns. There was even one period during the game in which Notre Dame scored 10 touchdowns in eight minutes. This ‘Strong and True’ moment features images from the University of Notre Dame Archives, as well an excerpt that was first published in the Nov. 4, 1905 issue of Scholastic, Notre Dame’s student magazine.

Notre Dame 142, American College of Medicine and Surgery 0 That looks good anyway. Rather relieves the feeling after the Wabash game. Although the Varsity had practically no opposition, they certainly had to go some to run up one hundred and forty-two points in thirty-three minutes of play. One hundred and forty-two is plenty, but had we kicked even a fair percentage of goals, we would have twenty points more. The halves were to have been twenty-five and twenty, but the last half was only eight minutes’ long, as the “doctors” must eat before catching their train. And anyway the score suited them as it stood. We were in good shape after the light work of the week before, and the men played the fastest game they have put up this year. The team work showed an improvement, and from the minute the whistle blew in the first half, the only question the rooters could ask was: “How large will the score be?” On defense, we had no chance to show what we could do as the “Medics” fumbled or mixed their signals so that they never gained an inch, in fact, lost ground every time they had the ball which, it must be mentioned in passing, was very seldom.

The game as a whole was a poor exhibition of football as it was played by only one team, the others simply filled in space. From two to four plays was all that was required for a touchdown. The most noticeable feature of the game was the speed of all, but especially the men who were drawn out of the line to carry the ball.

The box score from Notre Dame game against American Medical.

The Gold Team overcome a halftime deficit to pull out a 13-10 victory over the Blue Team in the annual Notre Dame Blue-Gold Game.

Notre Dame's Blue Team took a 10-0 lead into halftime behind a brilliant performance by the defense, who picked off three passes in the first half. In the second half the Gold offense got going thanks to talented freshman Jadarian Price.

Price took a screen pass from classmate Steve Angeli and used a block from Zeke Correll to get some space. Once Price got a hole he exploded for a 51-yard touchdown to get the Gold team on the board.

The Denison (Texas) High School native rushed for just 12 yards on nine attempts, but he caught eight passes for 104 yards, including that 51-yard score. 

Angeli got his chance to make his presence felt on the final game-winning drive. He completed eight straight passes for 66 yards to get the offense into the red zone. Angeli then took matters into his own hands - or legs - and scrambled into the end zone from 10 yards out as time expired for the win.

Angeli finished the game 11-17 for 180 yards through the air and he added 10 yards on the ground while accounting for both of the Gold Team touchdowns.

Defensively, end Rylie Mills was a standout, racking up three tackles for loss and a sack. Linebackers Marist Liufau and Jordan Botelho both picked Drew Pyne off in the first half.

Pyne struggled, completing 22-33 passes but they went for just 185 yards and he was picked off three times, but one was called back by a penalty. The top rusher was sophomore Audric Estime, who rushed for 59 yards on 13 carries.

The Gold Team out-gained the Blue Team 368 to 146 in the game.

Notre Dame Navy Final Stats

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – When it mattered, when it was all on the line, Jarious Jackson did what he had to do.

After struggling most of the game, Jackson hit Jay Johnson for a 16-yard touchdown with 36 seconds left to give Notre Dame a 28-24 victory over Navy on Saturday and extended its NCAA-record winning streak over the Midshipmen to 36 games.

“Jarious struggled today throwing the football,” Notre Dame coach Bob Davie said. “Then he comes back late in the game and makes the throw to win. … He finds a way. He doesn’t panic, and he keeps going.”

It’s a theme Jackson has been working on all season. Saturday’s comeback was the third time Jackson has led the Irish back from a late deficit and the fifth time this season Notre Dame has had a game decided on a last-minute drive.

“I’m sure everybody was kind of in suspense, because I saw the players running toward Jay,” Jackson said. “But at the same time I just put the ball in the air where I knew it would get to Jay.”

Jackson’s game-winning floater wasn’t pretty, but neither were the Irish (5-3), who racked up 130 yards on 13 penalties – the most in more than two decades – and consistently played themselves out of scoring opportunities. Yet Navy (2-6) couldn’t capitalize to beat the Irish for the first time since 1963, when Roger Staubach was the Midshipmen’s quarterback.

The streak was in danger with 5:56 left when Tim Shubzda kicked a 33-yard field goal to put Navy up 24-21.

After Notre Dame took over at its 41, Jackson played like his old self, converting two straight third-down situations to begin the drive.

Perhaps his biggest throw came on fourth-and-10 with 1:20 left when he hit Bobby Brown just short of the first down marker at the 27. The receiver twisted forward for the first down, keeping Notre Dame alive by inches.

“You could call it a devastating loss. It breaks our heart. A 36-year streak, we came 1 centimeter from ending it. It was that close,” said Navy safety Chris Lepore, who blocked a punt that was recovered for a touchdown.

After yet another third-down conversion and two dropped passes in the flat, Jackson threw a floater to Johnson just inside the 5. Johnson spun away from a defender and just got inside the pylon for the winning score.

“It seemed like it took forever to get there,” Johnson said. “We had confidence that we were going to win the game, but unfortunately sometimes it comes down to the last plays.”

In theory, the Midshipmen shouldn’t have even been close.

Navy blew a 23-point lead last week in losing to lowly Akron and lost quarterback Brian Broadwater to a broken collarbone. Coach Charlie Weatherbie missed some practice this week after having surgery to remove kidney stones, and sophomore Brian Madden made his first college start at quarterback in one of the most famous college stadiums in the country.

But the Midshipmen played with poise, and Madden confidently guiding Navy like a veteran. He was 7-of-17 for 86 yards and rushed 34 times for 168, including a 16-yard scoring run. But he also threw an interception and lost two fumbles, one inside the Notre Dame 10-yard line.

“It’s a disappointing loss. It’s one that hurts you deep inside because you know you played your tails off,” Weatherbie said. “I don’t think it gets easier to lose at all. You show me a good loser, and I’ll show you a loser.”

Jackson, third nationally in passing efficiency, was 15-of-33 for 200 yards with two touchdowns and ran for a career-long 57-yard score. But he also threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown, and fumbled once.

The Irish also seem to have their running going in good shape once again, rushing for 324 yards on a day that Notre Dame honored the famed Four Horsemen backfield of 75 years ago. Freshman Julius Jones led the Irish with 146 yards on 19 carries.

After opening the season 1-3, Notre Dame is now riding a four-game winning streak heading into a trip to No. 4 Tennessee next week.

“We were a 1-3 team going into an open date,” Davie said. “We said one thing, `Whatever we have to do, let’s try to get this thing to 5-3 and go play a big-time football game in Knoxville.”‘
