Chase Claypool had a career afternoon at Notre Dame Stadium, going for 117 yards receiving on seven receptions, four of which resulted in touchdowns.
It capped off a big week for Claypool who on Thursday accepted an invitation to participate in January’s Senior Bowl in preparation for the NFL Draft.
He spent Saturday having his best game to date in a Notre Dame uniform. A few notes about what No. 83 accomplished this afternoon:
Claypool’s four touchdown receptions tie Maurice Stovall for the most-ever in a single game by a Notre Dame receiver. Stovall accomplished his feat in a 49-23 win over BYU on October 22, 2005.
The four touchdowns on the day brought Claypool’s career total at Notre Dame to 15, which means his four today accounted for 26.6% of his career scores. His season total also jumped from five to nine (44.4% total).
Claypool’s 47 yard touchdown reception from Ian Book that made the game 14-0 in Notre Dame’s favor was the longest reception his career.
Claypool’s dominating performance also earned him the game-ball from his head coach.
The great effort from everyone in our program this week led to today’s win.
But, had to give the game ball to @ChaseClaypool for his record-breaking performance!#GraduatingChampions pic.twitter.com/5pSAj37aWo
