If that is the case, they might have Williams back against Stanford.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the evolving, somewhat cobbled-together Irish ground game has continued to make strides. Against Wake Forest, Notre Dame rolled up 241 yards on 40 carries, at 6 yards per carry.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Book&#8217;s contribution on the ground, wide-receiver-turned-running-back Jafar Armstrong had 98 yards rushing on just 8 carries, including 2 touchdown runs. With Notre Dame uncharacteristically down 3-0 late in the first quarter, it was a 30-yard touchdown romp by Armstrong that first put Notre Dame on the board, giving the Irish a 7-3 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Quarterback-turned-running-back Avery Davis had 43 yards rushing on 9 carries, and running back Tony Jones, Jr., tallied 39 yards and a touchdown on 7 carries.<\/p>\n\n<p>Notre Dame spread their receptions among ten different receivers, including wide receivers, tight ends and running backs.<\/p>\n<p>Brock Wright had only 1 catch for 3 yards, yet it went for a touchdown, giving Notre Dame their second score of the day, and a 14-6 lead in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Late in the second quarter, Chris Finke hauled in a punt on the Notre Dame 44 that he nearly took to the house, returning it 52 yards to the Wake Forest 4.\u00a0 It was two plays later that Jones got his rushing touchdown, punching it in for a 21-6 Notre Dame lead.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Young had 1 catch for 66 yards, yet\u00a0after Wake Forest had just pulled back with eight in the second quarter, it was Young&#8217;s big play that set Notre Dame up on the Wake Forest 2-yard-line.\u00a0 The Young catch made up the bulk of a 75-yard drive that was capped with Book running it in from the 2 to push Notre Dame&#8217;s lead to 28-13.<\/p>\n<p>Alize Mack had 6 catches for 61 yards. Chase Claypool had 4 catches for 51 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter that put Notre Dame up 35-13.\u00a0 The score also was part of a Notre Dame effort to bolster their intensity and success coming of the gates for the second half.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Finke had 4 catches for 41 yards to go with the key punt return.<\/p>\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uzuvRKxI-tc\" width=\"100%\" height=\"560\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Despite the on-field heat, the Notre Dame defense looked mostly crisp and focused, and limited the potent, up-tempo Wake Forest offense to 398 yards on 92 plays, 159 through the air and 259 on the ground.\u00a0 Some portions of the Wake Forest gains came later in the game when the contest was no longer in doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Notre Dame sacked Wake Forest 3 times.<\/p>\n<p>In a well-coordinated team effort, safety Alohi Gilman led Irish tacklers with 9 tackles.

Defensive lineman Daelin Hayes had 7 tackles, including 2 tackles-for-loss. Linebacker Bo Bauer and defensive lineman Adetokun Ogundeji each had 6 tackles, with Okundeji securing a share of a sack.
