The Irish had a 26-game home winning streak snapped by Cincinnati last October, their lone regular season loss of 2021. This is the second home loss to a Group of 5 opponent for Notre Dame in the past calendar year. The visitors outgained the Irish on offense 364-351, powered by 163 yards on the ground from running back Khalan Laborn. The Thundering Herd took the lead for good with 5:16 to play after Henry Columbi found Devin Miller open in the end zone for a 3-yard touchdown pass that capped off an 11-play, 94-yard drive. "We have to take a hard look at ourselves and find ways to improve as a football team." – Marcus Freeman
Freeman said after the game that the quarterback hurt his shoulder on the play. Buchner finished 18 of 32 for 201 yards and two interceptions before being replaced by Drew Pyne after taking a hard hit at the end of a run. Making his second career start and first in Notre Dame Stadium, quarterback Tyler Buchner threw an interception that Steven Gilmore, the younger brother of Indianapolis Colts cornerback Stephon Gilmore, returned 37 yards for a game-icing touchdown with 4:35 to go. No coach in Notre Dame history had ever lost their first three games.
8 Notre Dame dropped to 0-3 under coach Marcus Freeman and 0-2 on the season with a 26-21 upset loss to Marshall in the Fighting Irish home opener, snapping a 42-game winning streak against unranked opponents.
