Rapid Review: Notre Dame 52, South Florida 0

One week after a sputtering start in the opener versus Duke, No. 7 Notre Dame (2-0) exploded out of the gates with touchdown drives on each of its first four possessions, built a 35-0 halftime lead and cruised to a 52-0 victory versus South Florida (1-1). The Fighting Irish totaled 430 yards total offense — 281 rushing and 149 passing — while the Bulls managed 231, but only 65 in the decisive first half. Each of the six touchdowns on offense came via the ground game, with quarterback Ian Book tallying three times on short runs, complemented by 12 of 19 passing for 143 yards.
