If you examine the box score, it must mean that Notre Dame was intercepted eight times. Does seem like a lot.

I think the number is a smeared 3. That is how many are described in the story.

Maybe. But I guess it might also be a misprint. I looked closely, and it looks exactly like the number 8 printed elsewhere. Hard to believe a smear loops down and up just like the curves of the number eight.
