That 3rd TD pass from Hartman was an elite play. Wow I love this guy already Go Irish!

[@1Phepsi]

Nice seeing redshirt freshman Jadarian Price' first college carry going for a TD. And true freshman Jaden Greathouse' first reception going for a TD. Wonder if that's ever happened at ND before?

[@geothermal1992]

Estime going for 300 rushing yards vs SC

[@roselynnfrancis222]

Not if we run all our RB's like we did on Saturday. No way Estime gets that many yards, he'd have to get a lot more carries. I say like 100-130yds vs SC which is still really good, sharing the load.

he don’t play sc????

I remember learning about Sam Hartman from watching the show QB1. It's amazing to see the progress he has made since then.

[@ixlr825]

Haven’t seen (or at least remember) anyone in the no.1 jersey since the late, great, Greg Bryant Jr…Brought back some memories

[@Nite2012Mare]

Our new QB and OC seem to be an upgrade 👍😁. LOVE Freeman over Kelly massively.

[@roselynnfrancis222]

Payne could have at least tried the outside with all that space on the kickoff. We need good special teams this season as well be completely elite. Looking for ND to be back on top this season.

[@arthurrobinson4644]

They are, they're gonna have to be good at all faster than game. Return quick return the game we need special team play

[@andrewscruggs5906]

Wish we'd put one of the more elusive younger guys in to return kicks. Like Love or Price

[@roselynnfrancis222]

@@andrewscruggs5906 Love would be great. His speed is crazy. I hope all these backs stay at ND fir their collegiate careers.

[@ChubbTrain]

I been an Irish fan my whole life! It's the only team i ever cried over lol. When BC kicked that fg to ruin our perfect season in 93 i cried. I was 13 and it ripped my heart out. In all these yrs this is the best QB weve had IMO. This team has a chance to be special. Probably the mist exciting team i could remember in a while. Even when were among the best qe kniw we couldnt hang with the big dogs like Bama, Georgia , Ohio St . It seems like we're always just a level below those guys. Maybe this year will be different then we can actually contend

[@fload46d]

Just looked it up and Hartman is German. Thought it was Irish. Go Irish!

As a Michigan fan in South Bend I hate to admit it but this is the best nd team I've seen in forever. Yall can beat osu and make the playoffs. You got a really good team

Notre Dame is going to kick some usc ass when they play. I can't wait

Starters still in against a suBpar opponent w/ 10 minutes left in the 4th qt of a 35-0 shutout?? Hope they kan stay healthy, kause the depth wont have any exp at this rate.

These announcers were horrible, case in point “got the grinds gearing” 3:08

[@ladarianroper4770]

Look at who they played 🙄

[@Phantomsshot615]

Yes look at who they played. A triple option threat that for any team takes at least the first quarter to nail down and execute. Notre dame had 5 short 3rd downs and 3 that they stopped on 4th against a triple option within 3 yards. Notre dame could have dropped 70 points but didn’t due to the stupid respect bullshit. Notre dame executed almost perfectly
