19-19 Represent the number of trips and scores by Notre Dame in the red zone this year. It remained perfect against Michigan State by scoring four touchdowns all four times it penetrated the Spartans’ 20-yard line. The Irish were tied for No. 1 nationally in that department entering the game, but especially impressive is that 17 of the 19 scores have been touchdowns. The Irish were 6-for-6 a week earlier at Boston College, with all of them touchdowns. (Credit to Blue and Gold Illustrated.)
On a related subject, some posters on that other site are disappointed that Michigan State gave the game to Notre Dame. They say that the turnovers mask the fact that Kelly was out-coached by Dantonio again.
