By any measure, that's a very good number. It was the most-viewed game of the weekend. Yes, there were far fewer options than normal, and yes, the pent up demand was a massive contributor too, but that would apply to all games. To say "nobody watched" is undeniably inaccurate.

For context, ND-USC last year on NBC had 3.1m viewers, in prime time. Most ND NBC games are between 1.5m-2.5m viewers.
