In the modern era of football, Notre Dame is known for its heavy-personnel approach to offense. The Irish regularly put running backs, tight ends, and offensive linemen into the NFL.
But over the decades, Notre Dame has often been an offensive innovator, helping to develop some of the best-known offenses of past eras of football – all the way back to the days of the Notre Dame box.Â
Thus, many of Notre Dame’s highest-scoring games are from the early era of college football, when the program’s offensive mastery and cultural advantage was at its peak, relative to the rest of the sport.Â
That’s not to say modern Notre Dame football odds can’t spin off the occasional high total, though. After all, the infamous Texas Is Back game checks in on this list, and that was in 2016!
