SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) --- A.J. Carr threw for 234 yards and ran for a
touchdown, Nolan James Jr. rushed for 121 yards and a score, and No. 3 Notre
Dame took control in the second half to beat Michigan State 27-10 on Saturday
night.
It was the 13th straight victory dating to last season for the Fighting Irish
--- all by double digits. Coach Marcus Freeman broke the Notre Dame record for
consecutive double-digit victories, exceeding the 12 by Knute Rockne from
1921-22.
Micah Gilbert had eight catches for 170 yards for Notre Dame (3-0). Carr's
streak of 12 games with a passing touchdown ended, with the Fighting Irish
scoring all three TDs on short rushes.
Notre Dame outscored Michigan State 10-0 in the second half, limiting the
Spartans (2-1) to 40 yards of offense over the final two quarters.
Carr's 3-yard run early in the fourth quarter made it 27-10. James scored on a
2-yard run in the first quarter, and Aneyas Williams ran it in from 1 yard out
with 4:46 left in the second.
Williams' TD made it 17-3, but the Spartans closed within 17-10 by halftime.
Cam Fancher, who platooned with Alessio Milivojevic at quarterback, scored on a
15-yard scramble.
Milivojevic was 9 of 17 passing for 123 yards and was intercepted twice.
