Irish defense shines in Lambeau rout, but ground game raises red flags

Notre Dame overcame a sluggish first half to beat Wisconsin 41-13, scoring 28 points in the second half while holding the Badgers to just three. The defense delivered on its preseason billing, but the offense's rushing attack was a concern, with three different backs failing to average five yards per carry. The victory gives the Irish a 1-0 start after last year's opening loss cost them a playoff spot.
