[NU Sports] A disgrace

[Jim Bendat]

The 35 straight points doesn't really even come close to the 55 straight scored by SC in 1974 vs. Notre Dame. Very similar game: ND led 24-0 late in first half. SC scored just before halftime to cut it to 24-6. Then SC outscored ND 35-0 in the 3rd quarter, and 14-0 in the 4th. Final score was SC 55, ND 24.
