Notre Dame defeats Wisconsin 41-13 in Shamrock Series at Lambeau Field

Notre Dame opened its football season with a 41-13 victory over Wisconsin during the Shamrock Series on Sunday at Lambeau Field. After leading 13-10 at halftime, the Irish outscored the Badgers 28-3 in the second half to secure the win. Coach Marcus Freeman noted that the team struggled with early nerves and emphasized a shift toward consistent execution rather than relying on emotion after halftime. Running back Aneyas Williams led the offense with 90 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. Quarterback CJ Carr finished the game with 239 passing yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-29 passing. The win follows a season where the team was excluded from the College Football Playoff, and Freeman cited the importance of maintaining focus throughout the current campaign.
