Most viewers of any college football game of the (diluted) weekend. No doubt more a result of pent up demand for college football than quality of play or the matchup itself. But:

"It was the most-viewed Notre Dame afternoon home opener since the Irish last welcomed Penn State to South Bend way back in 2006. It’s also the most-viewed Notre Dame home contest since the Fighting Irish battled Michigan in primetime to kickoff the 2018 season."
