SOUTH BEND, Indiana — Everett Golson threw touchdown passes of 50, 34 and 2 yards, Cierre Wood scored on a 68-yard run, and third-ranked Notre Dame beat Wake Forest, 38-0, Saturday to finish undefeated at home for the first time since 1998 and keep alive its national championship hopes. The Fighting Irish are 11-0 for the first time since 1989 and need to beat Southern California to finish a regular season undefeated for the first time since 1988, the last time they won a national championship.
