GAME SUMMARY

The game was one-sided as Notre Dame controlled all aspects of the game. The Notre Dame defense held strong and only allowed Crespi to score only once early in the game, and caused several turnovers. On offense the team could not be stopped due the game MVP, quarterback Noah Taylor, who ran all over the field and shredded the defense in the air. The Notre Dame offense rolled all game and came out victorious in a 41-7 victory over Crespi.
