• A pass interference penalty on Thomas Harper keeps the Irish on the field. It came on an incomplete pass on third down.
• Tennessee State eventually goes 55 yards on 15 plays to get on the board via a 38-yard field goal.
SCORE: Irish 7, Tigers 3
• Notre Dame running back Devyn Ford fumbles on the ensuing kickoff. Tennessee State recovers. Ford spends some extra time down on the field. He got hit in the head, but he initiated some of the contact himself. No targeting was called. The crowd at Notre Dame stadium cheers when Ford is able to sit up with the help of trainers. The fans get even louder when he pops up and runs off the field on his own power.
• Notre Dame escapes the turnover by blocking a field goal attempt. Jason Onye got his hand on the ball. Irish head coach Marcus Freeman absolutely loved it. The Irish have first and 10 from their own 31 to start the second quarter.
Second quarter
• A 50-yard run from Audric Estimé gets the Irish in business. Hartman finishes the drive off with a leaping, somersaulting dive into the end zone on a five-yard quarterback keeper.
SCORE: Irish 14, Tigers 3
• Notre Dame gets the ball right back with a Ramon Henderson interception. The ball is thrown up in the air when the quarterback takes a hit from Irish defensive tackle Howard Cross III. Henderson has to sprint across the field to get there and make a diving pick.
• Notre Dame only needs four plays to put another touchdown on the board. Hartman goes 3-for-3 on the drive, and on the last two plays of it he completes a 27-yard pass to Jayden Thomas and a 24-yard touchdown to Chris Tyree to improve to 7-of-7 for 91 yards on the day.
SCORE: Irish 21, Tigers 3
