Indiana at Notre Dame: Live updates from College Football Playoff first-round game

Must read

The first game of the 12-team College Football Playoff era is also a first in over 120 years for Notre Dame. The matchup with Indiana is the first Notre Dame home game on a Friday since Nov. 30, 1900. Yes, really.

Time: 8 p.m. ET | TV: ABC/ESPN | Line: Notre Dame -7.5 | Total: 50.5

Indiana: The Hoosiers are the No. 10 seed with one loss because of a regular-season schedule that featured just one team with eight or more wins. And that team was the one that beat the Hoosiers. Indiana started 10-0 before losing 38-15 at Ohio State in a game where nothing went right for Indiana. The Hoosiers took out their frustration on Purdue the next week with a 66-0 win and has another shot to show it’s among the nation’s elite with a matchup against the Irish.

Notre Dame: Not counting Oregon, the only undefeated team in the country, the Fighting Irish have the longest win streak. Notre Dame’s Week 2 loss to Northern Illinois feels like it happened in another dimension. The Huskies turned out not to be a contender in the MAC and Notre Dame has evolved into a powerhouse ever since. Just one of Notre Dame’s 11 wins has been by one score.

  • Indiana’s offense stalling

    The Hoosiers are forced to punt for the third time already as they’re struggling to block Notre Dame’s defensive front. Ugly start for one of the nation’s top offenses

  • Notre Dame’s TD drive was 16 plays, 83 yards and took 9:08 of game clock.

    That was ND simply imposing its will on its in-state foe.

  • Touchdown Notre Dame!

    Riley Leonard finds Jayden Thomas in the back of the end zone. And the Irish double their lead to 14-0.

    Just about a perfect start for the home team in the playoffs.

  • End of 1st: Notre Dame 7, Indiana 0

    After a wild first few minutes, things have settled a bit in South Bend. But Notre Dame is in the red zone and threatening to add to its lead.

  • Notre Dame marching

    The Irish have the ball again and they’ve methodically moved it into Indiana territory.

    Already on the edge of field goal range.

  • What a start!

    The first 5 minutes of the first playoff game in a 12-team format featured:

    Have we taken a breath yet?

  • Notre Dame 98-yard TD!

    Jeremiyah Love breaks free for a HUGE touchdown run down the sideline!

    Irish strike first to take a 7-0 lead.

  • Notre Dame gets it back on a INT!

    Right after Indiana got into the red zone, Kurtis Rourke gets intercepted by Xavier Watts near the goal line. That’s Watts’ 6th INT of the season.

    The Irish get it right back.

  • Indiana interception!

    Notre Dame’s first pass attempt of the game is picked off by D’Angelo Ponds after James Carpenter batted Riley Leonard’s pass into the air at the line.

    Hoosiers take over at the Notre Dame 41-yard line!

  • Indiana goes three-and-out

    It’s a short possession for the Hoosiers as they have no luck moving the ball on the opening drive (they actually moved backwards three yards).
