For a reason!
I do think we've gone too far in the other direction, especially in the middle innings of low scoring games fwiw. And it's possible that here we were specifically trying to take advantage of a known defensive weakness of ND.
But regardless of the strategic value of bunting there, Notre Dame's was the greater sin. Take the out, woof.

Only thing crazier than bunting this early in a game where 20+ runs...

You only get 27 outs and you want to give one or more away?
