By late September of 2015, Notre Dame’s offense was becoming one of the most dangerous units in college football. Whether it was C.J. Prosise breaking long runs, Will Fuller stretching defenses deep, or DeShone Kizer growing more comfortable under center with each passing week, the Irish had discovered something powerful: they could score in bunches.
That firepower was on full display on Sept. 26, 2015, when sixth-ranked Notre Dame welcomed Massachusetts to South Bend. While the Minutemen managed to hang around for much of the first half, the Irish eventually overwhelmed them with an avalanche of big plays, piling up 681 yards of offense and 62 points in a game that showcased just how explosive Brian Kelly’s offense had become.
The following excerpt originally appeared in the September 28, 2015 edition of The Observer (Vol. 49, Issue 29).
Five rushing touchdowns and 457 total rushing yards paved the way for No. 6 Notre Dame’s 62-27 win over Massachusetts on Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium.
The Irish (4-0) out-ran the Minutemen (0-3) by more than 300 yards on their way to 681 total offensive yards and Notre Dame’s highest scoring output since 1996.
