Notre Dame goes 0-4 for first time in school history
Brian Hoyer threw four touchdown passes and Javon Ringer rushed for 144 yards to lead Michigan State to a 31-14 victory.
The Irish have now lost six straight, including the final two games of last season, the second longest losing streak in school history.
The Spartans (4-0), the sixth straight team to score at least 30 against the Irish, blew the game open with a pair of third-quarter TDs, a 16-yard catch by Mark Dell and a 30-yard catch by Kellen Davis on a fourth-and-2 play to move ahead 31-14. Davis also had a 3-yard TD catch and Devin Thomas had a 7-yard scoring catch.
Notre Dame finally scored its first offensive touchdown of the season on a 1-yard run by Travis Thomas to cap a 9-yard drive in the first. The score was setup by a Michigan State fumble.
Notre Dame later added an 80-yard scoring drive highlighted by a 43-yard run by James Aldridge.
The Irish finished a game with positive rushing yardage for the first time this season as James Aldridge ran for 104 yards on 18 carries. The Irish ran for 117 yards; Michigan State 219 yards.
It marked the first time in eight meetings that the game was decided by more than a touchdown.
