During Notre Dame football's blowout of Syracuse, running back Jeremiyah Love has joined the company of Jerome Bettis.

Jalen Stroman didn’t just fill in admirably. He was outstanding during the victory, recorded eight total tackles, two tackles for loss, and returned an interception for a touchdown. Stroman got off to a slow start in 2025 but this was by far his best game in the blue and gold. His presence greatly strengthens the floor of the safety room.

If style points are your thing, then Notre Dame was your team on Saturday, as it historically routed Syracuse.

Fran Brown arrived at Syracuse in 2024 with a rising resume and a national title pedigree and a reputation as one of college football’s elite recruiters. Since then, the results have been mixed, including a 3-8 record this year with a terrible 63-point blowout to No. 9 Notre Dame.
