Xavier Watts, who set up a first-half field goal with his ninth career interception, feigned disappointment at not grabbing No. 10 for Notre Dame.

The win against Louisville was No. 9 in his three years in South Bend, which is right behind the school record for most wins against top-25 opponents to start one’s career. Frank Leahy is the current holder, with 10 wins, started all the way back in 1941.
