NOTRE DAME TAKES LEAD WITH TD VS. WISCONSIN, FANS DEBATE WHETHER IT WAS CATCH
Notre Dame QB Jack Coan went 15-for-29 with a touchdown pass, and his replacement, Drew Pyne, was 6-for-8 with a touchdown pass. Kevin Austin Jr. caught both scores, finishing with six catches for 76 yards.
Kelly talked to FOX Sports’ Tom Rinaldi about the possibility of passing Rockne and what it meant to him before the game. Kelly said he didn’t know how many wins he had until last season. He said his place in Notre Dame history as of now is the guy who’s won the most games but has yet to bring home a national championship.
Wisconsin dropped to 1-2 on the season. Mertz was 18-for-41 passing for 240 yards, his first touchdown pass since November and four interceptions.
