Notre Dame continues to have its way with the vaunted BYU rush defense. After Theo Riddick -- who now has a career-high 141 yards -- busted free for a 19-yard gain for another first-and-goal opportunity, George Atkinson III made a nifty move on BYU safety Joe Sampson to score from 2 yards out on third down, giving the Irish the lead for the first time in the second half.

Notre Dame has 224 rushing yards so far.
