Number 9 Notre Dame withdrew from Louisville 35-17

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Ian Book ran for a touchdown and was thrown for another, Jahmir Smith quickly scored two goals and Notre Dame, number 9, beat Louisville 35-17 on Monday night.

Tony Jones Jr. ran 15 times over 112 yards, including an 11 yard goal, because Fighting Irish worked harder than expected to eliminate the Cardinals who rebuilt Scott Satterfield's debut as coach.

Notre Dame led 14-7 in the first game before Jones tied him up, and Book followed him with a score of 11 yards in the first round.

The TD book comes after a strange sequence that features three consecutive escapes between teams, the last of which was restored by Notre Dame in Louisville 20. Ireland has managed five errors and has recovered three.

"We just have to focus on a few small things," said Book, who has 81 yards on 14 carry. "They were there, they just had to do what was called, we trusted the coach to make the right decision and we just had to execute it.

The book hits Tommy Tremble with a 26-page middle pass from third to TD to lead 28-14. He completed 14 of the 23 passes with a total of 193 yards. Smith rushed for 3 touchdowns and 1 yard and a total of 24 on eight carries.

Louisville junior quarterback Jawon Pass rushed for an 8- and 17-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but the Cardinals fought later and only managed a 46-yard field goal at midfielder Blanton Creque - fourth quarter.

Javian Hawkins, a new student from Louisville, ran for 122 yards and carried 19.

In front of a record 58,187 spectators, the Cardinals lost 425 to 383.

However, Satterfield found a number of positive points in the Cardinals' appearance against Notre Dame, which ended in the semifinal defeat of the Playoff College Football, Clemson.

"I am very proud of the way our people play," he said. "The fight, the energy they have is incredible to see, one thing that comes into this game that we don't know is when they face difficulties, how they will react. Good work."
