Visiting Christian Academy of Knoxville scored first and last. Unfortunately for the Warriors, though, Notre Dame did a whole lot of scoring in between.
The Fighting Irish scored 41 straight points, invoking for a time the running-clock mercy rule, and won 41-10.
The victory boosted Notre Dame to 2-1 and gave the Irish their first Division II-AA win in their initial season in the classification. CAK fell to 0-3.
While the first-team Irish defense limited CAK to a first-quarter field goal, the offense went jumbo with junior Cameron Wynn taking the snaps. He also stole the show.
The Tennessee commitment ran for 136 yards on seven carries and scored four touchdowns. His first score, though, came on a 99-yard kickoff return that eclipsed a 3-0 Warriors lead that lasted just 17 seconds.
"I just wanted to help my team, which I consider my family," Wynn said. "I tried to get another touchdown, but I got a cramp in my lower leg and Coach (Charles) Fant told me no, just to call it in."
Wynn did try to get back on the field after CAK's lone TD with 2:59 left in the game, but Fant waved him off and all but physically grabbed him by the arm to pull him back to the Irish sideline.
"The great thing right now that we're able to do is that we have the air raid and can throw it and we have the jumbo package and can run it," the coach said. "We won last week by passing it (Landon Allen, 308 yards) and we won this week by running it.
"You get the ball in Cameron's hands, and great things are going to happen. He's electric when he gets it."
Wynn also had two catches for 56 yards, giving him 291 yards for the night.
"I like the jumbo package," he said. "Coach Jags (assistant Jeff Jagodzinski) said this was 1950s and nobody would know it. He said do your technique right and nobody's going to stop it, and he was right."
Wynn also offered props for the offensive line.
"I told them keep pushing. These weren't my touchdowns. These were our touchdowns," he said.
Fant felt it was an entire team effort.
"Even with the mistakes, all the guys on all the units were playing hard. That's why guys like Cameron can have those types of days," he said. "The thing about our defense, again, is that they're aggressive. They keep coming and making plays. It was fun to watch."
CAK's TD came against Notre Dame second- and third-teamers on a 52-yard sweep by Gavin Cagle with 2:59 to play and that play ended the running clock.
