With his two first half touchdowns against Oklahoma State, Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer set a program record for touchdowns scored by a tight end in a single season. The pair of scores gave Mayer seven for the year which breaks the record of six in a year that Cole Kmet set in 2019.
Mayer pulled in five first half receptions for 43 yards en route to those two scores and a 28-14 halftime lead for Notre Dame. The 43 yards also helped him to a Notre Dame record for most receiving yards in a single season ever by a Fighting Irish tight end.
Tight end Michael Mayer tallied 43 receiving yards in the first half to set the program record for most receiving yards in a single season by a tight end (811).
He surpassed Tyler Eifert's record of 803 from 2011.
