Notre Dame stays undefeated after a win against Spartans

NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- No. 3 Notre Dame defeats Michigan State, 27-10.

The Megaphone Trophy will stay in South Bend after No. 3 Notre Dame defeats Michigan State, 27-10.

An inconsistent day from Notre Dame’s offense had Head Coach Marcus Freeman and Co. holding just a touchdown lead at the half, 17-10.
However, the story of Week 3 was the Fighting Irish defense stifling Sparty. Notre Dame shuts out Michigan State in the second half, finishing with four sacks, two interceptions, 6 tackles for loss, and 6 pass breakups.

On the other side of the ball, it was a breakout game for junior wide receiver Micah Gilbert. He finished with 8 catches for 170 yards - which is more receiving yards than he had in all of last year. Gilbert is the first receiver to eclipse the 100 yard mark this season.

Overall, Notre Dame out gained the Spartans by 228 yards. CJ Carr finished 18-of-24 for 234 yards and one rushing touchdown.

The Fighting Irish will play four of their next five games on the road. Up next, it is a trip to West Lafayette versus Purdue.
