Two distinct halves defined Notre Dame's victory over Michigan State. Michigan State hung tough early, but the contest shifted entirely once CJ Carr took over for Notre Dame.

Analysis from Yahoo Sports notes Michigan State managed no answers after halftime, even as Pro Football Focus evaluated the Spartans' performance to rank their top offensive players and top five defenders. Game recaps focus heavily on the turning point rather than comprehensive statistics, leaving game metrics and official margins thin.

Exactly what Pat Fitzgerald and Michigan State players concluded during their candid postgame assessments of Notre Dame is not detailed in the available dispatches. The final score and individual statistical lines for Carr also go unstated.
