Summary
Notre Dame’s gritty 2011 win over Maryland was all about pounding the rock—Jonas Gray and Cierre Wood combined for over 230 rushing yards and multiple TDs, proving a dominant ground game could control the tempo and outcome. Starting fast under Brian Kelly’s direction, the Irish scored on their opening drive and never looked back, building a commanding lead with a third-quarter pick-six that sealed the deal. It was a day where the run game ruled, and the whole team—offense and defense—executed with physicality and precision. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
