59 Points

[tommyIRISH23]

I checked back to 1997, and did not find a game ND scored 59 Points or more.

So back to at least 1997, this was our best offensive performance in terms of points.

GO IRISH

Most combined points in a game at Notre Dame Stadium ever. 92. Old record, 90 vs. SMU back in 1986. GO IRISH!!!

Sigh*... you're not supposed to say "italics" when you are being sarcastic, you're supposed to italicize the words. C'mon man, get on the ball!

It's posted in the AF GameDay thread. Holtz and ND beat RU 62-0 in '96 the week after beating Pitt 60-6. Willingham had a 57-7 win over Stanford in '03.

Willingham had a 57-7 win over Stanford in '03.

And ran a fake punt, in the last 2 or 3 minutes of the game. I was at that game, and remember thinking, "WTF is this guy doing? ND doesn't pile on or run up the score intentionally!"

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

This game was fun to watch. So many different players scoring touchdowns. We really spread the wealth around today with many players. Really happy for Toma! It was nice seeing him scoring a touchdown.

 

[PJWhitfield]

BK is good for this team, and it's only going to get better.

 

[Junkhead]

You could almost say that ND has a decided schematic advantage now.

 

[phork]

Yah the advantage is the defense.

Does anyone know the last time we had 500 yards of offense in 4 games? Has it ever happened?

USF - 508
UM - 513
PU - 551
AFA - 560

You realize you skipped the Pitt and MSU game, right?

2009:

Nevada: 510
Washington: 530
Washington State: 592
Navy: 512

You mean we've played 6 games, not 4? I only listed the 500 yard games because that was what I was talking about. I had no agenda.

Here you go:
MSU - 275
Pitt - 398

Thanks for doing the homework there.

I was confused because you asked: "Does anyone know the last time we had 500 yards of offense in 4 games?" This makes it sounds as if you're asking about consecutive games.

It may have been more clear if you asked something such as: "Does anyone know if we've ever had 4 games of over 500 yards in one season?"

I see. Lack of clarity on my part.

 

[koonja]

I see. You thought I meant consecutive games. My bad.

No problem! For the record, in 2009 we did it 4 times over a 9 game span as opposed to this year where we've eclipsed 500 yards 4 times in a span of 6 games. Impressive.

We're also averaging 67 more rushing yards in those four games than in the 4 from 2009...and have had a 100 yard rusher in all four (compared to only one of the four in 2009).

Clausen, Tate, and Floyd were doing magic tricks with the offensive line from those years.

If its any consolation, I knew what you meant.

It's fine. We're all fine.
