SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Malik Zaire showed he's more than a runner, picking apart the Texas defense in a dominant performance in his first home start. Zaire threw for 313 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 11 Notre Dame held Texas to 163 yards of total offense in a 38-3 victory Saturday night. Zaire was 19-of-22 passing, an 86.6 percent completion rate that was second-best in school history. Steve Beuerlein completed 10 of 11 passes against Colorado in 1984, a 90.9 percent completion rate. Ten of those passes went for 15 yards or more. "He threw precision routes," Kelly said. "We knew what he was capable of. I think he put it together tonight, and he has room to grow." Zaire credited his line. "They gave me some great protection. The receivers did a good job catching the ball. The whole team collectively as a unit did a great job," he said. Texas coach Charlie Strong said his defense didn't do enough to pressure Zaire. "We just gave him too much time to throw it and they have really outstanding receivers," Strong said. "When you allow him the time and he can find him, which he did, he's going to make those throws." Will Fuller caught a pair of touchdown passes -- one a 66-yarder -- and finished with 142 yards receiving. Chris Brown added a 6-yard touchdown catch. Freshman Josh Adams ran for a pair of TDs, including 14-yard score on his first career carry, and C.J. Prosise added 98 yards rushing on 20 carries. Kelly said Tarean Folston, the leading rusher from last season, sustained an injury to his right knee. He didn't immediately know the severity. Notre Dame took advantage of an inexperienced Longhorns squad starting three players who were in high school a year ago, amassing 527 yards of total offense. "We've got to get more consistent with stopping the run. We'd have one stop, two stops, and every now and then there would be an explosive play," Texas defensive end Naashon Hughes said. The Irish had seven runs of 10 yards or more,
