A 34-20 loss to Maryland in the Carrier Dome on Sept. 20 was followed by a 31-15 setback against unbeaten Notre Dame on Saturday night at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. There were 10 in the Notre Dame game, many of them before the ball was snapped. [...] there have been about four times as many infractions called inside the 30-yard line than outside it, a real cause for concern.
