Notre Dame dominated North Carolina State 36-7 in a home rout, fueled by a balanced offensive attack led by quarterback CJ Carr's two touchdown passes. After a 10-7 halftime lead, the Irish exploded in the second half with two third-quarter scoring strikes and added a safety in the final period for good measure. Running back Jeremiyah Love bookended the scoring with touchdowns in both the first and fourth quarters as the Fighting Irish controlled the action at Notre Dame Stadium.
