Notre Dame doesn’t move up as much with the experts as it does with the AP.
While Notre Dame is now No. 5 in the AP Top 25 poll after beating Army 49-14 at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, neither [autotag]Danny Kanell[/autotag] or [autotag]Joel Klatt[/autotag] were willing to rank the Fighting Irish that high.
Kanell has them at No. 7 in his top 12 and Klatt at No. 6 in his top 10.
Klatt’s top 10 are: Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, Penn State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Miami (Fl), Indiana, and SMU with “almost” nods going to Boise State, Clemson and Tulane.

While this was a top-25 matchup, Notre Dame football dominated Army from the start, cruising to an easy 49-14 victory in Yankee Stadium.
The win improves the Irish’s record to 10-1, as they’ve won their last 9-games. The Black Knights 13-game winning streak came to an abrupt end, as they took their first loss of the 2024 season.
Notre Dame scored a touchdown on its first drive of the game, and took off from there. A blocked punt led to another first quarter touchdown, then Navy answered with a score of its own to put the score at 14-7 early in the second quarter.
The Irish would add two more touchdowns before the half ended, taking a commanding 28-7 lead into the break. Another two scores gave Notre Dame a 42-7 cushion which they’d coast to the final outcome. The Irish have yet to take a loss in a Shamrock Series game.
Running back Jeremiyah Love was the star for the Irish, while only rushing 7 times, he accounted for 130 yards and two touchdowns. He added a catch for another score, an impressive day from the sophomore.

No. 6 Notre Dame is thrashing No. 18 Army at Yankee Stadium tonight.
That hasn’t stopped the Fighting Irish from scoring — Aneyas Williams took the ball 58 yards to the house on the first play after Army turned it over on downs.
That gave the Irish a 49-7 lead with 10:40 to go in the game.
It’s the 100th anniversary of the “Four Horsemen” game, so perhaps it’s fitting that the Irish backfield has done a lot of damage against Army in the Bronx.

Jadarian Price is on the board for the second time.
Notre Dame running back [autotag]Jeremiyah Love[/autotag] has some competition from his backfield mate [autotag]Jadarian Price[/autotag]. While Love has three touchdowns for the No. Fighting Irish against the No. 18 Army Black Knights, Price has two.
His second was a 10-yard run that appeared to be stuffed initially before Price worked his way loose and bounced it outside. The score finished off an 8-play, 57-yard drive that took 3:33 off the clock and ended with 45 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
Backup quarterback [autotag]Steve Angeli[/autotag] helmed the drive with starter [autotag]Riley Leonard[/autotag] resting since the game is well in hand for the Irish.

A fumble before halftime sums up Army’s night against Notre Dame so far.
After No. 6 Notre Dame punched the ball into the end zone late in the first half against No. 18 Army, courtesy of running back [autotag]Jadarian Price[/autotag], the Black Knights did have a chance to mount a scoring drive before halftime.
The Fighting Irish prevented that from happening, however, when cornerback [autotag]Leonard Moore[/autotag] forced Army quarterback [autotag]Bryson Daily[/autotag] to fumble. Notre Dame linebacker [autotag]Jack Kiser[/autotag] recovered.
The Irish failed to capitalize, however, when kicker [autotag]Mitch Jeter[/autotag] pushed a 48-yard field-goal attempt wide right. Jeter has been dealing with a groin injury.

Jadarian Price finally punches it in against a stout Army goal-line defense.
This time, it’s [autotag]Jadarian Price’s[/autotag] turn.
No. 6 Notre Dame turned to Price to get the ball into the end zone on third-and-goal against the No. 18 Army Black Knights. This after the first two attempts at the end zone were stuffed — and Army had already had a goal-line stand against the Fighting Irish earlier in the game.
Price’s run ended an 8-play, 50-yard drive that took 2:14 off the clock. Price scored with 26 seconds remaining in the half.

Notre Dame running back [autotag]Jeremiyah Love[/autotag] has his second touchdown of the night against No. 18 Army at Yankee Stadium.
Unlike his first score of the evening, which was a receiving touchdown, Love’s second was a rushing touchdown for the No. 6 Fighting Irish. Meaning his streak of games with a rushing touchdown has extended to 11.
This one was a 14-yard scamper that ended a 3-play, 41-yard drive that took 1:23 off the clock. Love found the end zone with 4:35 remaining in the first half, shortly after Notre Dame forced Army to go three-and-out.
That series followed an Irish failure to punch it in on fourth-and-goal.
Love also had runs of 21- and 6-yards on the drive.
Wayne Bullock was the last Notre Dame player to achieve this feat, doing it in 1973-1974.

Notre Dame running back [autotag]Jeremiyah Love[/autotag] leaped his way into the end zone for the No. 6 Fighting Irish against the No. 18 Army Black Knights. Love caught a swing pass from quarterback [autotag]Riley Leonard[/autotag] for a 6-yard touchdown reception.
That ended a 3-play, 7-yard scoring drive that was set up when the Irish blocked an Army punt.
Unfortunately, it’s scored as a receiving touchdown, so the score does not extend Love’s streak of consecutive games with a rushing touchdown to 11.
