The only current NCAA Football Subdivision schools that played Notre Dame earlier than Purdue are Michigan ( first game in program history) and Northwestern (1889). u The teams played seven times from before a 11-year break (the longest hiatus in the history of the series). The teams resumed play in 1918 and met every year until 1923 before a 10-year break in the series. The teams then met in 1933, '34 and '39 and the series has been continuous since 1946, tying with the USC rivalry for Notre Dame's second-longest continuous series (Notre Dame and Navy have played every year since 1927). u Notre Dame's 56 series wins against Purdue are the secondmost against any opponent 73 against Navy is the highest. u Purdue has beaten Notre Dame more times (26) than any other school besides USC (35) and Michigan State (28). u The Irish have not been shutout by the Boilermakers since 1933 (a 19-0 loss in South Bend). u The winner of the game is presented the Shillelagh Trophy, a tradition started in The trophy was donated by the late Joe McLaughlin (a merchant seaman and Notre Dame fan who brought the club from Ireland). Notre Dame has taken home the Shillelagh Trophy 37 times in the 56-year history of the award. NOTRE DAME - PURDUE SERIES NOTES u Notre Dame and Purdue will meet for the 85th time in the alltime series Saturday. The Irish lead the series by a count. u Notre Dame or Purdue has been nationally ranked in 21 of the past 26 meetings (dating back to 1987). The 2001 and games are the only times in the stretch that neither the Irish nor Boilermakers were ranked. u Over the last 27 meetings, Notre Dame holds a 22-5 advantage. The Irish won from , 1998, , and Purdue claimed victories in 1997, 1999, and u The series has been filled with offensive fireworks. Since 1982 (a span of 31 games), the winning team has scored at least 23 points in every meeting except Notre Dame's 17-0 triumph in 1993 and victory in The winning team has eclipsed the 30-point barrier on 16 different occasions and averaged 34.0 points per game. u If series history holds true, Notre Dame will need to score often to earn a victory. When the Irish fail to score at least 23 points in a game against Purdue, the Irish are (.395). Since 1981 (32 meetings), Notre Dame has lost six out of the seven games to Purdue in which it failed to score over 20 points. u Notre Dame has captured 16 of the last 17 meetings with Purdue inside Notre Dame Stadium. The Boilermakers only victory in that span came in THE UPSETS u The series has produced 49 previous games in which at least one team was ranked in the AP poll, but the higher-ranked team is just in those games. u Purdue has been the beneficiary in 15 of the series' 18 upsets of the higher-ranked teams, including four times in which the Boilermakers knocked off the top-rated Irish: 1950 (28-14) and 1954 (27-14) at Notre Dame Stadium, and 1965 (25-21) and 1967 (28-21) at Ross-Ade Stadium. Purdue was unranked in 1950, No. 19 in '54, No. 6 in '65 and No. 10 in '67. u Lower-ranked Irish teams have upset a higher-ranked Purdue squad three times, most recently at Notre Dame Stadium in 2000 when Notre Dame's Nicholas Setta connected on a 38-yard field goal with no time remaining to give the 23rd-ranked Irish a victory over the 13th-ranked Boilermakers. Other Irish upsets include at Ross-Ade Stadium in 1952, when the unranked Irish knocked off No. 9 Purdue (26-14), and at Notre Dame Stadium in 1980, when the No. 11 Irish topped the ninth-ranked Boilermakers (31-10).

3 2013 NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL NOTES 3 u Unranked Purdue teams also have beaten ranked Irish teams in 1956, '59, '60, '74 (31-20, when Notre Dame was No. 2), '81, '84 and '97 while lower-ranked Boilermaker teams also have beaten higher-ranked Irish teams in '58, '69, '79 and '99. NOTRE DAME VS. BIG TEN u Notre Dame has faced no other conference as often as the Big Ten. The Irish have played 374 all-time games against the 12 current members of the league. Notre Dame is (.644) in those meetings. The Irish have played over two times as many games against the Big Ten as any other conference. The ACC (192) and Pac-12 (144) are the only other conferences against which Notre Dame has played at least 100 games. u Notre Dame has faced Purdue 84 ( ) times in school history, more all-time meetings than any other Big Ten program. Michigan State is second with 76 all-time meetings ( ), Northwestern (47, ) and Michigan (41, ). u Notre Dame faces Big Ten foes over three consecutive weeks (Michigan, Purdue and Michigan State). The Irish face the Wolverines, Boilermakers and Spartans for the 12th straight season. Notre Dame played four members of the Big Ten in 2006 and The Irish have played a member of the Big Ten every season since u Notre Dame is (.712) all-time against the Big Ten at home and (.694) at Notre Dame Stadium. u Notre Dame is (.587) all-time against the Big Ten on the road and (.583) at a neutral site. Home Away Neutral Total School Won Loss Tie Won Loss Tie Won Loss Tie Won Loss Tie Illinois Indiana Iowa Michigan Michigan State Minnesota Nebraska Northwestern Ohio State Penn State Purdue Wisconsin Total IRISH RECORD SETTERS IN THE PURDUE SERIES u The Notre Dame-Purdue series has been filled with incredible quarterback performances from the Irish. Five of the top 11 single-game completion records happened against the Boilermakers (Ron Powlus - 31; Brady Quinn - 29, 29, 29; Terry Hanratty - 29). Three of the top 11 single-game highs for passing yards also came against Purdue (Brady Quinn - 440, 432; Terry Hanratty - 366). Only six Irish quarterbacks have ever attempted 48 or more passes in one game and two of those efforts came against the Boilermakers (Terry Hanratty owns the school record with 63; Brady Quinn recorded 59 in 2003). u Reggie Brooks rushed for three touchdowns, tied for seventh-most in single-game history, in a 48-0 rout of Purdue on Sept. 26, u Rick Mirer completed 12 of 14 passes for 139 yards and two touchdowns as the Irish routed Purdue, 45-20, on Sept. 28, Mirer's completion percentage of 85.7% is still tied with two others for second-best in school history.

4 NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL NOTES u Brady Quinn recorded 11 straight completions in the victory in 2005 and his 80.6 completion percentage for the game is the 10th-best in single-game school history. u Brady Quinn eclipsed the 400-yard mark in passing on four occasions over his career, twice against Purdue. He threw for 440 yards in 2005 and 432 yards in The totals rank fifth and tied for sixth, respectively, in single-game Notre Dame history. u Ron Powlus tossed four touchdown passes in a victory over Purdue on Sept. 9, At the time, the four TD passes was tied for the school record, but is now tied for sixth. u Former All-American WRs Jim Seymour and Tom Gatewood each had remarkable careers against Purdue. Seymour had 13 catches, tied for the second-most in single-game school history, for a school record 276 yards on Sept. 24, Gatewood had 12 catches, tied for fourth-most in a game, for 192 yards against the Boilermakers on Sept. 26, Both had three touchdown receptions in the each game as well, which ranks as tied for the second-most in program history. u Notre Dame has had a pair of running backs eclipse 100 yards rushing in the same game just 18 times over 126 years of football. Two of those occasions came against Purdue. Phil Carter and Larry Moriarty rushed for 154 and 106 yards, respectively, on Sept. 25, Ray Zellars and Randy Kinder went for 156 and 143 on Sept. 24, u Former Irish kicker and punter Craig Hentrich connected on 136 consecutive extra points, a school record, from Sept. 30, 1989 to Sept. 26, Ironically, the streak started and ended in games against Purdue. THE CLOSE GAMES AND NOT-SO-CLOSE GAMES u Notre Dame is 22-5 in the last 27 games with Purdue (dating back to 1986). Those 27 games have been decided by an average of 13.2 points, including 11 wins of over 20 points and six wins of over 30 points for the Irish. u Since 1986, only eight games have been decided by fewer than 10 points and six occurred over an eight-year span between u Since the series with Purdue resumed in 1946, there have been six games where the winning points were scored in the final five minutes. Ironically, three have come on the date of Sept. 26. Here is a list of those six games: Sept. 25, 1971 #2 Notre Dame 8, at Purdue 7 With just over three minutes to play, the snap bounces at the two-yard line before slipping out of the hands of Purdue punter Scott Lougheed. Notre Dame's Walt Patulski and Clarence Ellis converge to block a punt that never gets airborne, with Fred Swendsen recovering in the end zone for a TD. Pat Steenberge's pass to Mike Creaney adds the two-point conversion for the margin of victory. Sept. 26, 1981 at Purdue 15, #13 Notre Dame 14 Purdue's Scott Campbell and Steve Bryant combined on a TD pass into the corner of the end zone with 0:19 left to play before running the same play to the other corner for the winning two-point conversion. Notre Dame's Phil Carter had scored on a 30-yard run with 2:57 remaining to give the Irish a 14-7 lead. Sept. 26, 1998 at #23 Notre Dame 31, Purdue 30 Notre Dame's Jim Sanson kicked a 17-yard field goal with 57 seconds left to give the No. 23 Fighting Irish a victory. Tony Driver made two key interceptions in the closing minutes. He returned his first interception off Drew Brees to the Purdue 5-yard line with 1:39 left to set up Sanson's field goal. His second interception with 37 seconds left ended Purdue's hopes for a comeback after the Boilermakers had reached the Notre Dame 44-yard line. Sept. 16, 2000 at #21 Notre Dame 23, #13 Purdue 21 Though Gary Godsey couldn't run the option, he ran the Notre Dame offense well enough to help the Irish take advantage of numerous Purdue mistakes. The Irish scored 17 points off Purdue miscues and Nick Setta kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired to give Notre Dame a victory over the Boilermakers. The loss was the 12th straight for Purdue at Notre Dame. Godsey, a sophomore making his first start, completed 14 passes - one more than Purdue's Drew Brees managed against Notre Dame and one more than Arnaz Battle did over Notre Dame's first two games. Sept. 26, 2009 Notre Dame 24, Purdue 21 Jimmy Clausen completed a two-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Rudolph with 24.8 seconds to play, and Notre Dame rallied for a win over Purdue. Clausen led the Irish on a 12-play, 72-yard drive. He went 6-for-9 on the drive for 69 yards, including the go-ahead touchdown pass. LAST MEETNG: Sept. 8, 2012 Notre Dame, Ind.

He was named a secondteam All-American by the Walter Camp Football Foundation in u Martin has started all 41 games for Notre Dame over the last three seasons. He has won the Guardian of the Year Award, presented by the Guardian Life Insurance Company, to the top Irish offensive lineman in each of the last three years. Martin is the 18th two-time captain in Notre Dame football history. u Martin joins the following Irish players as two-time captains: Edward Prudhomme ( ); Frank Keough ( ); Louis "Red" Salmon ( ); Leonard Bahan ( ); Pat Filley ( ); Bob Olson ( ); Willie Fry ( ); Bob Crable ( ); Phil Carter ( ); Ned Bolcar ( ); Ryan Leahy ( ); Ron Powlus ( ); Grant Irons ( ); Brady Quinn ( ); Tom Zbikowski ( ); Travis Thomas ( ); Maurice Crum, Jr. ( ). MOST CAREER STARTS IN NOTRE DAME HISTORY Rank Name Career Starts Years 1. Sam Young Tom Zbikowski Maurice Crum, Jr Brady Quinn Ryan Harris Zack Martin u Watt has played in 41 straight games during his career. He has started 28 consecutive games at left guard entering this weekend's matchup with Purdue. u Senior RG Christian Lombard made his first career start in the 2012 season opener against Navy. He started all 13 games last year at right tackle. Lombard moved inside during fall training camp and has started each of the first two games at right guard. He has played in 28 consecutive games for the Irish. u Sophomore RT Ronnie Stanley has made two career starts (Temple and Michigan). He saw action in two games in 2012 before an elbow injury sidelined him for the rest of the campaign. u Junior C Nick Martin has made two career starts (Temple and Michigan). He is the younger brother of Notre Dame starting LT Zack Martin. u The Martins became the first set of brothers to start for Notre Dame since 1990 when Tony and Reggie Brooks both started in the victory over Michigan. Tony rushed for 451 yards in '90, while Reggie was shifted to cornerback and made a late interception vs. the Wolverines. u The Martins became the first pair of brothers to start along the offensive line since Dave and Tim Huffman in They started next to each other in the last nine games, plus the Cotton Bowl. The Irish went 9-1 during that stretch, losing only to co-national champion USC. u Notre Dame attempted 53 passes last week against Michigan and limited the Wolverines to one sack. u The offensive line helped Notre Dame run for at least 200 yards seven times in 2012, including six of the last nine contests of the season. u Notre Dame had not posted more 200+ yard rushing games in a single season since 1996 when the Irish registered nine games with at least 200 yards rushing. u Over last nine games of 2012, Notre Dame combined to rush for 1,901 yards (359 attempts) for 5.3 yards per carry and 15 rushing TDs. The Irish rushed for more yards in their last nine games combined than 51 FBS teams did in their entire 2012 seasons). RUNNING BACK POSITION DEFINITE STRENGTH ENTERING 2013, BUT INEXPERIENCED u Notre Dame entered 2013 without its top two rushers from 2012 in Theo Riddick (190 carries for 917 yards, 5 TDs; 36 catches for 370 yards, 2 TDs in 2012; 244 career carries for 1,169, 5 TDs; 120 career catches for 1,263, 8 TDs) and Cierre Wood (114 carries for 742, 4 TDs in 2012; 450 career carries for 2,447, 16 TDs). u Junior Amir Carlisle (64) and junior George Atkinson III (37) averaged 5.3 and 7.4 yards, respectively, last week against Michigan. u Notre Dame played five different running backs, including three making their Irish debut and a pair of freshman, in the season-opening victory over Temple. u Carlisle (68), junior Cam McDaniel (65) and Atkinson III (34) combined for 167 yards on ground (great balance) against Temple. u McDaniel totaled 65 yards on 12 carries, both of which were new career-highs and Carlisle had nine carries for 68 yards in the game (9.7-yard per carry average). u Atkinson III (51 carries for 361, 5 TDs) and McDaniel (23 for 125, 1 TD) have the most experience of the returning backs. Carlisle (he transferred from USC after the 2011 season) qualifies as another option with solid potential after missing all of 2012 with injury. Sophomore Will Mahone (DNP in 2012) is another possibility. u The Irish also added a pair of talented rookies - Greg Bryant and Tarean Folston - to the equation for Bryant was named second-team USA Today All-USA high school All-America, while Folston was named the offensive player of the year in Florida by Florida Today. BY GEORGE, IT S ATKINSON u Junior RB George Atkinson III picked up his first career 100-yard rushing game against Miami on Oct. 6, He finished the night with 123 yards on 10 carries. Atkinson III registered a 55-yard touchdown run with 23 seconds left in the third quarter to give the Irish a 34-3 lead. It marked his second touchdown run of 50+ yards last season. u The 12.3 per carry average (minimum 10 rushes) was the sixth-best in school history. Avg. per Rush - Game (min. 10 attempts) 1.

His time of was seventhbest among all football players that ran indoor track and ranked third by a freshman football player. u Atkinson III ran in 100-meter dash in preliminary round at BIG EAST Outdoor Championships, the second-fastest 100-meter clocking ever by a Notre Dame track runner (Raghib "Rocket" Ismail ran in 1991). His time was the fifth-fastest time in the nation by a football player who ran outdoor track in 2012 and was the quickest run by a freshman football player. DOUBLE CENTURY GROUND GAME u Notre Dame has won 15 consecutive games when rushing for at least 200 yards. The Irish have not lost a game with more than 200 yards on the ground since Nov. 3, 2007 against Navy. u Notre Dame is 27-1 since the start of the 2002 season when it gains 200 or more yards rushing. u Notre Dame ran for at least 200 yards seven times in 2012, including six of the last nine contests. u The Irish have not posted more 200+ yard rushing games in a single season since 1996 when Notre Dame registered nine games with at least 200 yards rushing. u Notre Dame has rushed for at least 200 yards 10 different times over the last two seasons more than the previous five years combined ( ). IRISH TOUGH TO BEAT WHEN WINNING THE RUSHING BATTLE u Notre Dame outrushed 10 of its 13 opponents last season. The only three teams to outrush the Irish were Purdue (Sept. 8), Michigan (Sept. 22) and Alabama (Jan. 7). u Since the start of the 2005 season, Notre Dame has won 44 of its past 46 games when recording more rushing yards than its opponent. u A 27-game winning streak for the Irish when outrushing their opponent was snapped in the loss at Michigan on Sept. 10, Notre Dame had not previously lost a game when outrushing its opponent since Dec. 28, 2004, when the Irish lost to Oregon State, 38-21, in the Insight Bowl. Notre Dame rushed for more yards than Florida State in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl, yet ended up on the losing side of that contest.

17 2013 NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL NOTES 17 u Third-year head coach Brian Kelly has his own fairly remarkable run when his teams outrush their opponent. He is in his career and 24-2 at Notre Dame when winning the rushing battle. KOYACK, NIKLAS GIVE IRISH TWO MORE WEAPONS AT TIGHT END u All-America and Mackey Award-winning tight end Tyler Eifert (co-team-leading 50 catches for 685 yards, 4 TDs in 2012; 140 career catches for 1,840, 11 TDs) has graduated and moved onto the NFL. u Two-time letter-winning juniors Ben Koyack (3 for 39) and Troy Niklas (5 for 75, 1 TD; 7 starts in double-tight end sets) are the leading candidates to replace Eifert. They were each named to the watch list for the 13 Mackey Award (Eifert won the award in 2012). u Senior Alex Welch (DNP in 2012) is another possibility. NIKLAS NEXT IN LINE OF GREAT IRISH TIGHT ENDS? u Niklas registered his second touchdown of the season, hooking up with quarterback Tommy Rees on a 20-yard reception with 4:55 remaining in the third quarter vs. Michigan. Niklas has now collected three receiving touchdowns on 12 career catches. u Niklas set career-highs in receptions (six) and receiving yards (76) against Michigan. u Niklas had the longest reception of his career with a 66-yard touchdown catch at the end of the first half against Temple on Aug. 31. His previous long grab was 30 yards against Purdue in It was his second career touchdown. JONES, DANIELS LEAD DEEP POOL OF WIDEOUTS u Senior captain TJ Jones (team-high-tying 50 catches for 649 yards, 4 TDs in 2012) anchors the wide receiver corps. His top lieutenant figures to be junior DaVaris Daniels (31 for 490), coming off six catches for 115 yards against Alabama in the BCS title contest. u Jones and Daniels give Notre Dame one of the top wideout tandems in college football. Both are candidates for the 2013 Biletnikoff Award. The Irish are one of 12 teams in the FBS with at least two wideouts on the pre-season list. u Jones has 126 receptions, 1,553 receiving yards and 11 TD catches over his career. He has started 30 of 40 career games for the Irish. u Jones notched his first career 100-yard receiving game in the season opener against Temple (careerbest 138 yards). Jones recorded a 51-yard reception on the second drive for Notre Dame, which was the longest reception since his freshman season when he had a 55-yard TD reception against Michigan. u Jones caught his first touchdown of the season on a four-yard connection with 2:01 remaining in the first quarter. He set a career-high with nine catches in the contest. u Jones 18-yard punt return in the first quarter against the Wolverines was the longest of his career, and the longest punt return by a Notre Dame player since Michael Floyd s 41-yard gain on his first career return against Florida State in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl (Dec. 29, 2011). u Jones has now registered at least one reception in 29 straight games played, hauling in multiple passes in 25 of those contests dating back to the 2010 Sun Bowl on Dec. 31, 2010 against Miami (Fla.) (104 catches, 1,267 yards and eight touchdowns in that span.) u In his first season of action in 2012, Daniels registered 31 catches for 490 yards. He missed a couple games last season with a broken collar bone. Daniels led all Irish receivers with at least 20 receptions in yards per grab (15.8). u Daniels collected his first career touchdown reception (32 yards) from Tommy Rees on the first passing play on the opening drive of the 2013 season for Notre Dame to give the Irish the early 7-0 lead. u Daniels added a second score on the ensuing drive for the Irish, also a 32-yard TD reception, for his first game with multiple touchdown catches. u Daniels 21-yard second quarter reception against Michigan marked the eighth time (13th career game) that Daniels has had at least one reception of 20 yards or more in a game. u Senior Daniel Smith, one of Notre Dame's biggest wideouts at 6-feet-4, has been hampered by injuries in his Notre Dame career but has flashed signs of being a good playmaker when healthy. u Sophomore Chris Brown had three catches in the season opener to set a career high for receptions in a single contest. He had two catches all of last season. Brown's 57 yards receiving was one more yard than his previous career total of 56 yards. u Freshmen William Fuller, James Onwualu and Corey Robinson, as well as sophomore C.J. Prosise, will add speed, athleticism and most importantly depth to the wide receiver position. u Robinson hauled in his first career reception (a 12-yard catch) on the third Fighting Irish drive of the first quarter against Michigan. u Prosise had his first career reception (16 yards) on the final Notre Dame play of the first quarter against Michigan. u Onwualu and Robinson each participated in spring practice as early enrollees. Prosise hauled in a 35-yard touchdown reception in the Blue-Gold game. u Robinson is the son of David Robinson, 10-time NBA All-Star and 2009 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee. u Robinson started the season opener, while Onwualu started at Michigan.

18 NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL NOTES DEFENSE PRETTY STINGY ON THE SCOREBOARD u Notre Dame ranked second in the FBS in scoring defense in 2012 allowing just 12.8 points per game. The Irish were one of just three scoring defenses in the top 10 to face exclusively FBS competition. u Notre Dame allowed 16 touchdowns last season (only 15 offensive touchdowns) four fewer than any other FBS school. Alabama, Rutgers and Michigan State surrendered 20. Notre Dame allowed 34 total scores (16 TDs and 18 FGs), while Alabama allowed 25 (20 and five), BYU allowed 32 (22 and 10) and Boise State allowed 33 (27 and 6). u Notre Dame s defense has allowed two offensive touchdowns or less in 25 of its last 32 games. The Irish have actually allowed one offensive touchdown or less in 16 of those outings, including 10 of the last 15 games. u No FBS defense has allowed fewer rushing touchdowns than the 15 by Notre Dame over the last 33 games. Alabama has limited its opponents to 15. u Notre Dame has allowed an average of points/game over the last four seasons combined, which ranks as the fifth-best average over of any team in the FBS. Team Alabama LSU Boise State Florida State Notre Dame Florida TCU Stanford BYU Michigan State KEY TO IRISH DEFENSIVE SUCCESS IS STOPPING THE RUN u Notre Dame s defense allowed four rushing touchdowns in 2012 (and the first did not come until the eighth game of the year). The Irish were the only team in the FBS that did not allow a rushing touchdown over their first seven games of the season. Notre Dame still led the FBS in fewest rushing touchdowns allowed.

The Irish kept Fitzgerald Toussaint in check. He ran for 71 yards on 22 carries (3.2 yard avg.). u Notre Dame has given up exactly 15 rushing touchdowns over its last 33 games (dating back to the Tulsa game in 2010). Even more amazing, only seven of those rushing touchdowns have come from an opposing running back and two (Jonathan Lee s eight-yard TD run for Air Force came with the Irish leading, 59-27, with 33 seconds left in the fourth quarter on Oct. 8, 2011, and D.J. Adams two-yard touchdown on Nov. 12, 2011, with the Irish leading Maryland, 45-14, with 37 seconds left) came against the Irish reserves. u Quarterbacks' Mitch Mustain (USC, 2010), Denard Robinson (Michigan, 2011) and Blake Bell (Oklahoma, 2012) each snuck in from one-yard out. Signal callers' Devin Gardner (Michigan) had a twoyear scoring run on Sept. 7, 2013, Tim Jefferson (Air Force) had a three-yard scoring scamper on Oct. 8, 2011 and Jarvi Cummings (Navy) had a 12-yard touchdown run with the Irish leading, 49-7, in the fourth quarter in Quarterbacks' C.J. Brown (Maryland) had a 24-yard touchdown run on Nov. 12, 2011, and Josh Bordner (Boston College) had a two-yard touchdown run on Nov. 19, Even crazier, nine of the last 14 rushing touchdowns against the Irish have come from quarterbacks (including Ricky Dobbs two rushing touchdowns in the third quarter of the game against Notre Dame on Oct. 23, 2010). u Over the last 37 games, only eight running backs have recorded a rushing touchdown against Notre Dame (Gee Gee Greene, Navy, 2010; Jon Lee, Air Force, 2011; Josh Harris, Wake Forest, 2011; D.J. Adams, Maryland, 2011; Ray Graham, Pittsburgh, 2012; TJ Yeldon and Eddie Lacy of Alabama, 2013; Kenney Harper, Temple, 2013). u The 15 rushing touchdowns allowed by Notre Dame over the last 33 games is tied for tops in the FBS. Alabama is second with 15. DEFENSE HAS CHANGED IRISH CULTURE u Notre Dame struggled mightily on the defensive side of the football over the three years ( ) prior the arrival of head coach Brian Kelly and defensive coordinator Bob Diaco. As improved as the Irish clearly are on that side of the ball, here is an incredible comparison to understand exactly how far the group has had to come: Category Points Allowed/Game First Downs Allowed/Game Rushing First Downs Allowed/Game Yards Allowed per Rush Rushing Yards Allowed/Game Rushing Touchdowns Allowed/Game Passing Yards Allowed/Completion Passing Touchdowns Allowed/Game Total Yards Allowed/Play Total Yards Allowed/Game Sacks/Game DEFENSE AS GOOD AS IT GETS u Notre Dame ranked among the top-25 FBS schools in 17 different defensive categories in Category Stats NCAA Rank Rushing TDs Allowed 4 1st Red-Zone Rushing TDs Allowed 4 t-1st Scoring Defense nd Points Allowed Per Red-Zone Trip 3.4 2nd Passing Yards/Completion nd Red-Zone TDs Allowed Percentage 34.2 % 3rd Total Red-Zone TDs Allowed 13 t-3rd Red-Zone Points Allowed 130 4th Total Defense th Red-Zone Defense 68.4 % t-7th First Downs/Allowed th Rush Defense th Fourth Down Conversion Percentage 35.3% t-14th Pass Efficiency Defense th Interceptions 16 t-20th Sacks 34.0 t-22nd Pass Defense th DEFENSIVE LINE FITS THE BILL u Notre Dame is led up front by All-America senior Louis Nix III (50 tackles, 7.5 TFL) and All-America junior Stephon Tuitt (47 tackles, team-leading 13 TFL, team-high 12 sacks). u Nix III was named a third-team CBSSports.com All-American in 12, while Tuitt was a first-team selection by CBSSports.com, ESPN.com and Sports Illustrated and second-team honoree by Associated Press, Phil Steele, Walter Camp, Sporting News and Athlon. u The duo has been included on just about every preseason All-America squad entering 13. Both are watch list selections for the Maxwell, Bednarik and Nagurski. Nix III will also challenge for the Outland Trophy, while Tuitt will be a leading candidate for the Hendricks Award. u Nix III and Tuitt represent two of the six defensive players on the Maxwell watch list. Notre Dame is the only FBS program with multiple selections on the defensive side of the ball. u Both Nix III and Tuitt are using their third season of athletic eligibility in u Nix III had four tackles, including one for loss, at Michigan. u Sophomore Sheldon Day (23 tackles, 3.5 TFL) takes over the starting role from graduated Kapron Lewis-Moore. Day was runner-up for Mr. Football in Indiana in u They ll have help from seniors Kona Schwenke (5 tackles 1 TFL; started vs. Michigan State and Pittsburgh) and Tyler Stockton (DNP in 2012) at defensive line.

19 2013 NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL NOTES 19 u Other options up front are senior lineman Justin Utopo (played in 10 games in 2012) and sophomore lineman Jarron Jones (DNP in 2012). u The defensive front will also benefit from the addition of freshman linemen Jacob Matuska and Isaac Roshell. STEPHON GETS TUITT u Junior DL Stephon Tuitt collected 12.0 sacks in He ranked seventh in the FBS in sack yardage (89), tied for 14th in sacks/game (0.92), 13th in total sacks (12.0) and tied for 16th in solo sacks (10). u Among FBS underclassmen, Tuitt led the nation in sack yardage (89), ranked second in total sacks (12.0), third in solo sacks (10) and second in sacks/game (0.92). He registered at least two sacks in three separate games (Navy, Purdue and BYU). u Tuitt's 12.0 sacks were the most by an Irish player since Justin Tuck set the school record with 13.5 in They are also the most by an Irish underclassmen in school history and second-most overall.

Tuitt returned a fumble 77 yards against Navy on Sept. 1, u Tuitt became the first Irish defensive player with a fumble and interception return for touchdown in a career since Tommy Zbikowski ( ). u Tuitt recorded a sack in four consecutive games to open the '12 season. He was the first Irish player to accomplish the feat since Ryan Roberts had a sack in the first four contests of the 2000 season. u Tuitt scooped up a fumble and rumbled 77 yards for a touchdown to give the Irish a 27-0 secondquarter lead on Sept. 1, 2012, over Navy. u The touchdown fumble return was the longest since Steve Lawrence had a 79-yarder in 1985 and third-longest in school history. u Tuitt is the first Irish defense lineman in 18 years to score a touchdown. The last time it occurred was a 20-yard fumble return by nose guard Alton Maiden on Nov. 9, 1996 in a victory at Boston College. A week earlier, defensive end Renaldo Wynn had a 24-yard fumble return for a score against Navy in Dublin, Ireland as well in a win. LINEBACKER CORPS AS EXPERIENCED AS ANY IRISH UNIT u Graduate ILB Dan Fox emerged from a pack of contenders to earn the starting inside linebacker job opposite Manti Te o last year and played well enough to start all 13 games. Fellow graduate ILB Carlo Calabrese split duties with Fox in '11-12, but moves into a full-time starting role in u Fox has started 24 career contests and ranked fourth on the Irish with 63 tackles last year. u Fox has collected 10 tackles in each of the first two games this season. He has never previously eclipsed double-digit tackles in a single game. u Fox ranks tied for 25th in the FBS in total tackles (20), tied for 28th in solo stops (nine) and tied for 35th in tackles per game (10.0). u Fox is one of seven players in the FBS with 10 or more tackles in each of the first two games of u Calabrese has played especially well against the run. No player on the team has more career tackles than his 160 stops. u Calabrese recovered a fumble against Temple on a punt late in the fourth quarter for the first fumble recovery of his career. u Senior OLB Prince Shembo (51 tackles, 10.5 TFL, 7.5 sacks) is somewhat overshadowed by Nix III and Tuitt, but is arguably one of the most disruptive 3-4 rush linebackers in college football. He leads all active Notre Dame players with 19.0 tackles for loss and trails only Tuitt for the most sacks (14.0) among current Irish players. Shembo was named to the Bednarik watch list as well. u Shembo has started 24 career games and has collected 103 tackles. u Shembo, Fox and Calabrese were all named to the 13 Butkus watch list. u Senior OLB Danny Spond was forced to retire from football after suffering another hemiplegic migraine during fall camp. u Junior OLB Ben Councell and freshman OLB Jaylon Smith will vie for the starting spot opposite Shembo. Councell played in 12 games last season and amassed 10 tackles, predominantly on special teams. u Smith, winner of 2012 Butkus Award presented by Pro Football Weekly to top high school linebacker in the country, was the first-team linebacker on the Parade prep All-America squad. He was also named first-team USA Today All-USA high school All-American and a finalist for American Family Insurance All-USA Defensive Player of the Year. u Smith became the first Notre Dame freshman linebacker to start a season opener since Kory Minor in u Smith set a career-high with four tackles, and added one pass breakup, against Michigan. u Senior ILB Kendall Moore and junior ILB Jarrett Grace provide quality depth at both inside linebacker positions. Each will see significant playing time on special teams as well. u Junior OLB Ishaq Williams will help the Irish at both the outside linebacker position and defensive end spot. At 6-5, 261, Williams has the size and athleticism to be a significant force off the end for the Irish. He has played in 24 games over the first two years of his career. Williams has registered 28 tackles, including 22 last season. He added three and a half for loss and forced a fumble in u Williams recorded his first career sack on the opening Michigan drive of the third quarter, dropping quarterback Devin Gardner for an 8-yard loss on 3rd and 7 to force a Wolverine punt. u Sophomore Anthony Rabasa did not play as a freshman in 2011 and saw limited action in 2012, but adds great depth to the position. u Romeo Okwara, a sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., attended the same high school as Shembo and was a first-team all-state defensive player in He is extremely young (just turned 18) and raw, but his frame (6-4, 258) and athleticism helped him see the field in u Okwara, who had a tackle for loss and forced fumble at No. 8 Oklahoma, registered seven tackles, including one and a half for loss in IT S GOOD TO BE A PRINCE u Senior OLB Prince Shembo had 10.5 tackles for loss and seven and a half sacks in 2012, both of which ranked second on the Irish. He led the team with 12 quarterback hurries (stat tracked at all Irish home games, but not every away contest). Shembo ranked sixth on Notre Dame with 51 total stops. u Shembo ranked tied for 11th among FBS linebackers in solo sacks (seven), tied for 12th in sack yardage (55), tied for 13th in total sacks (7.5) and 15th in sacks per game (0.58). u Shembo collected four tackles for loss and three sacks in the victory over Boston College in It was the most tackles for loss by an Irish player since Derek Landri had four and a half against Army on Nov. 18, It was also the most sacks by a Notre Dame player since Victor Abiamiri had three against Stanford on Oct. 7, u No FBS linebacker had more sacks in a game in 2012 than Shembo had against Boston College.

He collected five in the season opener against Temple. u Shembo finished with a career-high nine tackles, two for loss, one sack and a pair of quarterback hurries in the victory over No. 10 Michigan State on Sept. 15. He collected six tackles, two for loss and one sack by the 13:35 mark of the second quarter. SECONDARY EXPERIENCED AT SAFETY, FAR FROM IT AT CORNER u Junior S Matthias Farley (49 tackles, 1 int.) returns at one safety spot. u Farley made the largest leap of any safety during In his first year at the position after playing wide receiver in his freshman year (entirely on the scout team as he did not see any game action), Farley started the final 11 games last season. u Additional monogram-winners at safety are senior Austin Collinsworth (he missed all of 2012 with injury), sophomore Elijah Shumate (9 tackles, 3 PBU) and walk-on junior Connor Cavalaris (5 tackles). u Sophomore Nicky Baratti (8 tackles, 1 int.) was lost for the season during fall practice following a shoulder injury. u Junior Eilar Hardy (DNP in 2012) and sophomore safety John Turner (DNP in 2012) proved during fall practice that each is fully capable to help the Irish. u Freshman Max Redfield will vie for immediate playing time. u The Irish secondary began 2012 as the team s least experienced group but came on strong to provide more than its share of support. It ranked among the top 20 FBS schools in the following pass defense categories in 12: fewest passing yards/completion (9.95, 2nd), fewest touchdown passes (11, t-6th), pass efficiency defense (111.36, 16th), interceptions (16, t-20th), fewest passing yards/attempt (5.98, 13th) interception percentage (3.69, 24th) and pass defense (199.77, 25th). u The defensive backfield will be paced by the squad s leading returning tackler in senior Bennett Jackson (65 tackles, 4 ints.), along with sophomore KeiVarae Russell (58 tackles, 2 ints.). u Jackson, who was a Bednarik watch list selection, started all 13 games at cornerback last year. He recorded 45 solo stops and collected four interceptions. Jackson tied for 39th in the FBS in interceptions (0.31/game). He was the first Irish cornerback to record four interceptions in a season since Mike Richardson finished with the same amount in Jackson had four tackles, a key interception that prevented a touchdown and combined for another tackle on the crucial fourth-down overtime play that gave Notre Dame a victory over Stanford (Oct. 13). u Russell, who switched from running back to cornerback in the 12 preseason, became the first freshman at Notre Dame to start at cornerback in the opening game of a season. He collected two interceptions and was named a freshman All-American by Sporting News and Scout.com powered by FOX Sports NET. u In 2012, Russell was the first freshman ever at Notre Dame to start at cornerback in the opening game of a season. u The previous closest freshman to start near a season opener was Stacey Toran in 1980 when he started the third game and the remaining nine for the Sugar Bowl team. u Senior Lo Wood, projected to be a starter a year ago before a preseason injury sidelined him, is back as well. u Freshman Cole Luke has quickly ascended the Notre Dame depth chart and will see the field in nickle packages. u Jackson, Russell, Farley and Collinsworth all entered Notre Dame as offensive players. Jackson, Farley and Collinsworth were all wide receivers and Russell was a running back. NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL A FAMILY AFFAIR u Notre Dame players whose fathers also played for the Irish include senior wide receiver TJ Jones (Andre, ) and junior offensive Conor Hanratty (Terry, ). u The Irish feature one player who had an elder sibling also suit up for Notre Dame. Senior wide receiver Nick Fitzpatrick is the younger brother of former place kicker D.J. Fitzpatrick ( ). u The 2013 roster has two sets of brothers Zack and Nick Martin and George III and Josh Atkinson. Zack is a graduate student offensive tackle and Nick is a junior center. George III is a junior running back and Josh is a junior corner back.

32 NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL NOTES Game-1 (TEMPLE): Aug. 31, 2013 Notre Dame, Ind. Notre Dame Stadium Score by Quarters F #14/11 Notre Dame Record: 1-0 Temple Record: 0-1 Rees Leads No. 14 Notre Dame Past Temple, 28-6 The victory by the Irish (1-0) was the 200th career win for coach Brian Kelly. NOTRE DAME, Ind. (AP) - Notre Dame got off to a strong start to the new season and then received more good news after the game. The No. 14 Fighting Irish scored on their first two possessions, each of them three-play drives, with Tommy Rees connecting with DaVaris Daniels on a pair of 32-yard TD passes in a 28-6 victory on Saturday. The Irish announced after the win that coach Brian Kelly had signed a new five-year contract. Kelly said he wasn't too worried that the Irish (1-0) couldn't quite seem to put the Owls (0-1) away, saying he had confidence in his defense. "I was OK with the dink and dunk that they were going to exhibit on offense," he said. For Notre Dame, the victory was welcome after a turbulent offseason following an embarrassing loss to Alabama in the national championship game. The victory sets up a big game against Michigan next Saturday night. "We're going to have to play better in all phases against Michigan next week, but we're going to enjoy this victory today," Kelly said. The victory was the 200th career win for Kelly, improving his overall record to and at Notre Dame. The Owls, picked to finish ninth in the 10-team American Athletic Conference, fell to 2-76 against ranked opponents. "We left a lot of points on the field," Temple quarterback Connor Reilly said. Although Temple was a heavy underdog, it was still a bit of a disappointing start for first-year Temple coach Matt Rhule, because of missed chances. "They proved that they can play with that team," Rhule said. Rees, who regained the starting quarterback job when Everett Golson was suspended from school for the fall semester, was 16 of 23 for 346 yards, his fourth career 300-yard passing day. "I saw some really good things, and some things that we're going to have to get better at," Kelly said. One of the questions about Rees was whether he could beat opponents deep in the passing game. But Rees threw a pair of long TD passes to Daniels, who didn't have a touchdown catch last season. Daniels beat Temple cornerback Anthony Robey on both TDs. The first drive started with Amir Carlisle breaking a 45-yard run up the left sideline to the Temple 37. While the second was set up by a short pass to TJ Jones, who broke two tackles, for a 51-yard gain. "One of the questions coming in was: `Can we push the ball downfield?' I think we answered a lot of those questions right away with his ability to push the ball downfield. I think his patience was better and it will continue to get better," Kelly said. Rees said he was pleased. "There are some things out there that we have to fix as an offense, but I was pleased with how the entire offense played," he said. There were some encouraging signs for Temple. First-time starter Reilly was solid, completing 23 of 46 passes for 228 yards, which was more than the Owls had in any game last season. He also ran for 65 yards on 12 carries. Rhule installed a pro spread offense after the Owls had the fifth-fewest yards passing in the nation, averaging 121 yards a game. But Temple missed a pair of field goals wide right before finally scoring in the second quarter to cut the lead to 14-6, with Kenny Harper scoring on a 1-yard run. The Irish didn't give up a rushing touchdown in going 12-0 in the regular season last year until the eighth game against Oklahoma. Cooper's PAT was blocked by Notre Dame defensive lineman Jarron Jones. The Irish answered 18 seconds later when Rees hit Troy Niklas at midfield and he faked his way past two Temple defenders and raced for a 66-yard touchdown. Temple opened the second half with another strong drive, advancing to the Notre Dame 6. Reilly threw four straight incomplete passes as Rhule decided to go for it on fourth-and-6 instead of trying another field goal. The Irish responded quickly again with a 94-yard scoring drive, highlighted by a 33-yard pass from Rees to Chris Brown. George Atkinson scored on a 2-yard run to make it For the Irish, it wasn't the dominant defensive effort many expected against Temple. "There's things that we have to correct, but this isn't last year's defense, it's this year's defense," safety Matthias Farley said.

33 2013 NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL NOTES 33 Game-2 (MICHIGAN): Sept. 7, 2013 Ann Arbor, Mich. Michigan Stadium Score by Quarters F #14/13 Notre Dame Record: 1-1 #17/17 Michigan Record: 2-0 #14 Irish Fall at #17 Michigan Notre Dame pulled within a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, but lose ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner threw four touchdown passes against Notre Dame, including a victory-sealing connection to Drew Dileo with 4:18 left. The teams played in front of an NCAA-record crowd of 115,109. "I take accountability for some of those throws and missed opportunities," Rees said. The Wolverines (2-0) had a pair of 14-point leads, but the Fighting Irish (1-1) refused to be routed. Notre Dame pulled within a TD early in the fourth quarter when defensive end Stephon Tuitt made a diving interception in the end zone - a few snaps after the Irish turned the ball over on downs - on a pass Gardner was trying to throw away to avoid a safety. "I made a horrible decision," Gardner said. "But the defense gave me a place to stand. They told me they believed in me and I finished it." Kyle Brindza made a 40-yard field goal with 9:15 left to pull Notre Dame within four points. The Irish were called for pass interference twice - once on a questionable call when Bennett Jackson intercepted Gardner's pass deep in Notre Dame territory - on the ensuing drive and Gardner later took advantage by accounting for a fifth TD. "We came up just short on some key plays," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. Gardner finished 21 of 33 for 294 yards with one interception that gave the Irish a chance to rally. Trying to avoid a sack in the end zone, Gardner flipped a pass that Tuitt came up with to give Notre Dame hope. TJ Jones had nine receptions for 94 yards and a TD.
