Touchdown streak ends

The Irish had not allowed an offensive touchdown in 17 quarters prior to surrendering two on consecutive drives to BYU in the second quarter. Notre Dame had not accomplished such a feat since Dan Devine's final season in 1980, when the Irish defense set a school record by preventing an offensive touchdown for 23 consecutive quarters.

Notre Dame's starting quarterback was sidelined. BYU's run defense was ranked third in the country, allowing only 68 yards per game. The odds seemed stacked against the Irish offense Saturday.

Lewis-Moore brings positive energy to defense

Kapron Lewis-Moore represents the old guard of Notre Dame's youthful defensive line. When he committed to the Irish in January 2008, Irish coach Brian Kelly had just wrapped up his inaugural season - at Cincinnati.

Four-star linebacker set to visit as commitment wavers

The Irish will spend the upcoming weekend hoping to solidify the commitment of one of their top 2013 commitments. Linebacker Alex Anzalone visited Florida for its win over LSU on Oct. 6, and many outlets have reported that he may be wavering in his commitment to Notre Dame. Anzalone, a 6-foot-3 linebacker from Wyomissing, Pa., is the third-best prospect in the 2013 Notre Dame recruiting class, according to ESPN. Irish recruiting expert said that with Anzalone on campus for the BYU game, the Notre Dame recruiting staff will hope to keep the linebacker committed.

Stiff BYU defense to test Irish offense

At every media session this week, two words have come up over and over again: "trap game." Sandwiched between an emotional overtime win over Stanford and a trip to Norman, Okla., for a night game against the No. 9 Sooners, the contest against BYU seems tailored to trip up the No. 5 Irish. The Cougars (4-3) come in with a low profile, and more importantly, with a suffocating defense that has every intention of stopping Notre Dame's inconsistent offense.
