Notre Dame Week 11 highlight — Mitchell Evans gets first touchdown of the season

Mitchell Evans has his first TD of the season for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

[autotag]Mitchell Evan’s[/autotag] first touchdown of the season came at a very good time for the No. 10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

It looked like the Irish might have a drive stall before halftime against the Florida State Seminoles. Notre Dame appeared ready to attempt a FG, then took a timeout and decided to go for it on fourth down. A [autotag]Riley Leonard[/autotag] pass to [autotag]Jordan Faison[/autotag] converted, but the Seminoles also had 12 men on the field and were penalized.

Leonard hit Evans for a 12-yard touchdown pass on the next play, ending a 12-play, 77-yard drive that took 1:31 off the clock.

Notre Dame leads the Seminoles 21-3 at the halftime break.

Notre Dame has six named to PFF’s top returning players for 2024
