  • 36 career starts
  • Two-time team captain, Martin earned a spot on the watch lists for the Lombardi Award, Outland Trophy and the Rimington Trophy
  • Starting RB Tarean Folston was lost for the year in the season opener vs. Texas, but still helped pave the way for 527 yards of total offense against the Longhorns, yielding just one sack
  • Notre Dame racked up 681 yards of total offense, its best output since 1969, behind its potent offensive line vs. UMass (Sept. 26)
  • The Irish rank 25th nationally in total offense after 11 games, averaging 471.5 yards per contest, its best mark since recording a school record 510.5 yards per game in 1970

  • These long plays have made it easy for the Irish to march up-and down the field. Notre Dame already has 19 scoring drives this year of at least 80 yards, including six scoring marches of at least 90 yards and three of 95+ yards
  • Five Notre Dame players (Adams, Kizer, Prosise, Wimbush and Zaire) have runs of at least 25 yards

  • The 62 carries of at least 12 yards ranks tied for 14th in the FBS

  • Adams’ four 100-yard rushing games this year is a Notre Dame freshman record
  • The Irish have had two TD runs this year of at least 90 yards (joining C.J. Prosise’s 91-yard TD run against Georgia Tech on Sept. 19). There had only been two TD runs that long in the previous 126 seasons of Notre Dame football.
  • After playing in 10 games, Prosise stands at 1,029 rushing yards on the season with 157 carries. The Irish have seen 18 1,000-yard rushing seasons in their history and Prosise was the second quickest to reach the milestone
  • Prosise eclipsed 1,000 rushing yards on a 31-yard scamper — his 150th carry of the season — topped only by Reggie Brooks’ 120 in 1992
