Notre Dame overcomes halftime deficit to defeat Wisconsin at Lambeau Field
Summary

No. 4 Notre Dame secured a 41-13 victory over Wisconsin on Sunday night at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The Fighting Irish trailed 13-10 at halftime before outscoring the Badgers 28-3 during the second half. Running back Aneyas Williams recorded two touchdowns, and cornerback D.J. McKinney contributed a 55-yard interception return for a touchdown to help break the game open. Head coach Marcus Freeman attributed the turnaround to the team focusing on the moment rather than the initial halftime score.

Notre Dame faces Rice in its next contest at home next Saturday.
