...N!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:17:39

Beautiful night for football in South Bend! Clear and a low tonight of 57 degrees.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:41:16

Irish win the toss and will get the ball first.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:42:52

Yikes another slow start for the Tigers' defense! They get hit for a holding call on the first play, and then Williams goes 65 yards for a touchdown! Worst start possible. Tigers can't get down big early again because ND can run the ball and shorten the game.

TIGERS TRAIL 7-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:48:25

Bad starting field position after a muff by Dixon on the kickoff.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:48:40

Travis runs for a first down!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:49:02

Complete to Cornell for about 7 more!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:49:34

Ugh screen to Amari goes nowhere, and Travis gets stuffed on 3rd and one. Spiers out to punt.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:50:21

Not a great punt by Spiers. Irish take over at their 44.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:54:35

Ugh ND converts on a 3rd and 7 with a 28 yard completion on a fade to the sideline. Sheridan Jones was in coverage.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:58:53

Big 3rd and 4 coming from the Tigers' 19.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 18:59:48

Ugh complete to Tremble for a first down. Ball at the Tigers' 11. Defense needs to bow up and hold em to a field goal!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:00:34

Book runs to the 4. It's 3rd and 2.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:01:31

Williams stopped just short. Irish going for it on 4th and one from the 2.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:02:14

FALSE START!! That is HUGE! Irish will settle for a chip shot field goal now. Big stop by the D!

TIGERS TRAIL 10-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:05:42

Travis picks up 7 yards on a screen, but it's 3rd and short again after another run up the middle is stuffed.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:06:20

Complete to Ngata for a first down! Looked like DJ could have run for the first, but he patiently found Ngata on the sideline.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:06:40

Good grief Ngata is hurt again! Dude is made of glass.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:09:00

TD POWELL!!! 53-yards! Cornell was huge last week with career highs in both catches (11) and yards (105), and he already has 2 catches for 60 yards in this one!

TIGERS TRAIL 10-7 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:14:40

Book scrambles again to make it 3rd and 3. This is what I wrote about.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:15:15

Complete for a first down.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:18:23

Another completion to Tremble for a first down at the Tigers' 42 with Zanders in coverge.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:18:56

Good grief another completion to the Tigers' 28 ends the quarter.

TIGERS TRAIL 10-7 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:20:07

Tigers gashed, run to the 10 yard line to star the quarter.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:21:15

Good job by the coverage, forcing Book to scramble and throw it away. Huge 3rd and goal from the 9.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:26:04

WHEW! Book scrambled, and the tight end dropped the pass at the goal line! Probably should have been a TD, but the Irish have to settle for another chip shot field goal. Feeling similar to the Ohio State game last year, with the Tigers getting stops in the red zone.

TIGERS TRAIL 13-7 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:26:23

Ugh Travis tackled at the 10 on the kickoff.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:27:16

DJ's pass batted down. Lucky it wasn't picked!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:28:28

Complete to Amari, and he breaks 3 tackles, running to the 40! Second big play of the game for the Tigers.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:29:59

Travis runs up the middle for nothing again. They might as well stop trying to run between the tackles! Just wasted plays. Get the ball to Travis in space.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:30:22

Screen to Amari with blockers goes all the way to the ND 27!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:31:43

Travis tripped up, and DJ misses open Ngata high. Brings up 3rd and long. Ngata limping again!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:33:25

DJ scrambles and finds Amari for a huge 3rd and long conversion! What a throw across his body! DJ was sensational on 3rd down last week, completing 9 of 10 passes. 1st down at the ND 15.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:35:41

Travis runs to the 8 to make it 3rd and 5.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:36:34

Ugh blitz forces DJ to throw it through the back of the end zone. Potter will come out for a short field goal attempt on 4th and 5.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:37:42

IT'S GOOD!

TIGERS TRAIL 13-10 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:39:14

Ugh complete to Skowronek on 2nd and 10, and he breaks tackles for a 1st down.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:39:39

SACK HENRY!!! First sack of the game for the Tigers.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:40:50

Big 3rd and 12 coming from the ND 36.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:41:19

False start! Makes it 3rd and 17!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:42:26

ND goes deep and it's incomplete! DK in coverage. D forces a big 3 and out, and the Tigers have grabbed momentum!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:43:21

Tigers will take over at their 31.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:45:21

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!! Travis drops a simple toss on 1st down, and it bounces right to ND for a touchdown! Just like last week! Good grief, right after I said the Tigers grabbed momentum, there it goes back to ND.

TIGERS TRAIL 20-10 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:49:03

Holy cow Amari catches a pass for 1st down on 3rd and 8 and drops it. The ball of course bounces right to ND again! Refs are reviewing to see if it was a fumble or incomplete.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:49:59

Good grief the fumble stands, and Irish take over at the Tigers' 25. Defense MUST get a stop here! Tigers are giving the game away again like they almost did last week.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:50:30

Huge blind side block penalty for 15 yards puts the ball at the Tigers' 40!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:52:44

Book scrambles for 5 to make it 3rd and 22 from the Tigers' 37. Would be a 54-yard field goal from here. Need a sack!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:54:05

Ugh completion for 10 yards. Irish will have a chance for a 45-yard field goal, which is well within Charlotte native Doerer's range.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:55:49

Doerer puts it through. Good job by the D to at least stop the bleeding and not allow another TD. Tigers need to get 7 before the half!

TIGERS TRAIL 23-10 WITH 2:41 LEFT IN HALF.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:57:59

Complete to Galloway on 1st down!!! Ball at midfield! Galloway didn't have a single catch last week and was only targeted once. Nice throw and catch, good pocket by the OLine. Tigers are in business!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 19:59:08

Complete to Travis down the seam to the 26! Tigers have gone 50 yards in just 2 plays.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:00:14

Ugh should have been a first down but popped out of Cornell's hands. Looks like he jammed a finger. Huge 3rd and long coming.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:01:42

Ugh drop by Travis, and he comes up limping. Potter will come out for another field goal attempt. Rough first half for Travis!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:03:47

IT'S GOOD!! Potter hits the 43-yard FG to give the Tigers a FG right before the half for the 3rd straight game. All 3 of those games have been similar, with the Tigers making mistakes early and getting a little momentum back before halftime with a quick drive and Potter field goal.

TIGERS TRAIL 23-13 WITH 1:09 LEFT IN THE HALF.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:05:53

Good grief the Irish have driven down to the Clemson 42 with 17 seconds left. They have 2 timeouts left. Tigers need to keep them out of field goal range!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:07:25

Zanders going to the locker room for treatment. Great, just what the defense needed, another starter out.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:07:52

Good grief Book scrambles again to the 38. They have to be ready for that! 55 yard field goal from here and just 2nd down with 10 seconds left.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:10:16

Irish will attempt a 55-yard field goal to end the half. Charlotte native Doerer is 3-3 already tonight.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:13:29

UGH!!! Travis nearly had a kick-six, but the holder was able to save the touchdown! Travis tried to hurdle him but couldn't make it over top of him. Man, that would have been big! At least the Tigers have a little bit of momentum going into halftime after making a field goal and the Irish missing. Tigers get the ball first to start the half and could cut the lead to 3! This game would be tied right now if the Tigers hadn't given the Irish 10 points with 2 turnovers inside their 25. They're gonna need a second half like they had last week to pull this one out!

TIGERS TRAIL 23-13 AT THE HALF.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:24:57

Completion to EJ Williams will make it 3rd and a short 2. Tigers have not been good on 3rd and short tonight.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:26:12

Complete to Amari for a 1st down to the Irish 40!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:29:11

Huge catch and dive for the 1st down by Cornell on 2nd and 10! First down at the Irish 30.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:30:20

Crap Bockhorst is down on the field. Can't afford to lose him! He's averaged about 85 snaps in 3 of the last 4 games.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:30:59

Trotter in for Bock at OG.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:32:42

Ugh drive stalls on 4th and 9, and Potter will attempt a 47-yard FG.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:34:14

IT'S GOOD!!! Potter is 3-3 tonight! Tigers need to start finding the end zone, though, their last 3 scoring drives ended in field goals.

TIGERS TRAIL 23-16 IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:35:42

Big TFL on 1st down to make it 2nd and 15! A rare 3 and out to start the half would be super!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:37:09

Good grief Irish just got away with a blatant hold on a 9 yard run. Refs haven't called anything tonight! Brings up a big 3rd and 6.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:38:29

Book goes deep, and he overthrows! HUGE 3 and out for the D! Offense needs to capitalize and seize momentum with a game-tying TD!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:39:41

Tigers take over with good field position at their 40. Stop wasting plays trying to run between the tackles! Go play action instead.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:40:57

Screen to Amari goes for 7 on 1st down. Much better than a run for no gain up the middle!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:42:07

Trav finally gets a 5 yard gain up the middle. 2nd and 5 at the Irish 40.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:42:58

Screen to Trav goes for a 1st down at the Irish 32! He almost broke it!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:44:43

Whew! Tipped ball by Amari was nearly picked. Big 3rd and long coming.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:45:41

COMPLETE TO ETN FOR A 1ST DOWN!!! What a throw by DJ, falling backwards as he threw! FINALLY the Tigers convert a 3rd down near the red zone.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:46:51

DJ keeps it a couple times for 4 yards. Another big 3rd down coming inside the 20!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:47:44

Complete to Braden, but it's just short of the 1st down! Go for it, Dabo! No more field goals!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:49:29

QUARTERBACK POWER, 1ST DOWN!!! Huge pick up, and it's 1st and goal!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:52:24

TD DAVIS ALLEN!!! His first catch of the game is his 4th TD of the season! He had just one target and one catch for 6 yards last week. Superb play call by Tony Elliott on 2nd and 10 to tie the game! Tigers have seized momentum back, scoring 13 unanswered and 10-0 this half, with just 3 plays for the Irish!

TIED 23-23 IN 3RD.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:57:11

Good grief unbelievable fingertip catch for 50 yards on 1st down! Ball hit the ground, though, and they're reviewing it.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 20:59:11

Of course, Irish get a BS call. Both Tony Dungy and the officiating expert in the booth said that it was incomplete. The gift from the refs gives the Irish momentum and the ball at the Tigers' 30, already in field goal range.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:02:59

Ugh first down completion to the tight end on 3rd and 3 with pressure on Book.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:04:57

FUMBLE!!!! Book had a first and goal inside the 5 and was trying to score, and he lost the ball! Tigers recover in the end zone for a touchback! Lol justice for the bad call on the long completion!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:06:29

Jake Venables forced the fumble, and the other linebacker Spector recovered in the end zone! Tigers FINALLY get a break! They are still behind in the turnover margin tonight 2 to 1.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:08:29

Pitch outside to Trav for 5 on 1st down. He runs for a couple more on 2nd down to make it 3rd and short. Need to take the lead here!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:09:44

Ugh incomplete on 3rd and 3 to end the quarter. Spiers will punt it away to start the 4th.

TIED 23-23 HEADED TO THE 4TH.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:19:41

Good grief, Spiers punts a beauty, but Booth tackles the returner after a clear fair catch signal. That will be a 15-yard penalty and give the Irish good field position.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:20:55

TFL on first down. XT in the game now after missing the first half for the garbage targeting call last week.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:22:04

Good grief they all but had Book sacked but were unable to wrap him up. He throws the ball away to make it 3rd and long. Great coverage by the secondary.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:25:19

Good grief completion to the tight end, and Simpson is unable to make the tackle to force a punt. He runs all the way to the Tigers' 30. It's a 30-yard play on 3rd and long!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:26:37

Good grief Simpson having a tough time making a tackle! I know he's a true freshman, but holy cow. He had the RB for a 10-yard loss, but he got away to make it a 5-yard loss. 2nd and long now.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:27:41

Run by Williams makes it a huge 3rd and 7.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:29:01

INCOMPLETE IN THE BACK OF THE END ZONE!!! Great job by Nolan Turner to break up the TD! Irish will settle for their 5th field goal attempt of the night.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:30:21

Of course, it's good. The Charlotte native Doerer is 4-5 tonight, missing only from 57.

TIGERS TRAIL 26-23 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:30:42

CORNELL FOR 50 YARDS!!! Huge completion on 1st down to the Irish 20! What a response! MUST pay it of with a TD here.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:32:34

Wow Mellusi comes in and runs for 4 yards. Interesting call.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:33:39

DJ keeps it and makes it yet another 3rd and short.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:34:21

Ugh Amari was open for the 1st down, but DJ threw a fast ball behind him. 4th and 3.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:36:20

IT'S GOOD!! Potter is 4-4 tonight, knock on wood! Tigers have been terrible in the red zone and on 3rd and short tonight, but they hold serve. Defense needs a 3 and out!

TIED 26-26 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:38:35

False start makes it 3rd and 15! Watch the tight ends!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:40:18

WHEW!!! Skowronek caught the ball deep on the sideline, but he landed out of bounds with Jones in coverage. Tigers catch a break! D forces a big 3 and out!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:41:45

Tigers will take over at their 23 after a 50 yard punt. They have not led yet tonight!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:42:50

Completion to Davis Allen makes it 3rd and one AGAIN! Terrible on 3rd and short all night.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:43:54

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Tigers cannot convert a 3rd and short to save their lives tonight! Travis short on 3rd and one!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:45:51

Tigers go for it on 4th and one, and Irish jump offsides! Too bad the refs stopped it because Cornell Powell had a touchdown. 1st down Tigers!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:46:13

DJ runs for another first down at midfield!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:47:14

By far the worst game in Etienne's career. 15 carries for 25 yards and a fumble that went for a TD.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:47:51

DJ under pressure finds Amari to convert on 2nd and 13!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:49:04

DJ throws it away to make it 2nd and 10. He had EJ wide open down the seam for a TD!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:50:02

Spector draws a PI! 1st down at the Irish 30.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:51:10

Trav finally breaks free for a 15 yard run to the 15!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:52:54

CORNELL POWELL!!! Whirling dervish on a tunnel screen, breaking tackles all the way inside the Irish 5 yard line! PUNCH IT IN THE END ZONE!!!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:54:29

TD ETN!!! You can only stop him so long! Tigers take their first lead of the game with 3:33 left! Etienne extends his FBS record to 43 career games with a TD!

TIGERS LEAD 33-26 WITH 3:33 LEFT.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:57:29

Complete to the tight end yet again for a 1st down.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 21:58:12

Another completion to midfield.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:00:03

Great PBU by Seridan Jones! PI is waved off, 4th and 7 with the game on the line!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:00:46

INCOMPLETE!!! Tigers take over on downs with just over 2 mins left! Skowronek, who has been great all night, was hit right in the hands and he dropped it.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:05:57

Good grief Travis runs out of bounds and saves a timeout for the Irish. I don't know how no time ran off after that holding call that Notre Dame declined! The Irish used just one timeout, and somehow only 15 seconds ran off the clock in the Tigers' 3 plays! Horrendous clock management right there, and way too conservative for my liking. The Irish have 2 timeouts left and plenty of time now.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:06:21

Spiers punts a beauty inside the Irish 10! D has to make another stop!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:08:13

Completion for 10 yards, and Book picks up 9 more, running out of bounds at the 28 to stop the clock at 1:30. Nolan Turner is down on the field.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:09:54

Good grief another long run for Williams out of bounds. Tigers need to learn how to tackle in bounds! Not forcing the Irish to hurry or use their timeouts.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:11:05

Good grief 50 yard completion inside the 5 with a minute left! Looks like this is gonna go to overtime for the first time since NC State in 2016.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:11:25

Incomplete. 2nd and goal with 30 seconds left.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:12:08

Ball batted down by Spector! 3rd and goal with 27 seconds left.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:13:29

Ugh wide open Davis at the goal line for a TD with 22 seconds left. Overtime here we come!

TIED 33-33 WITH 22 SECONDS LEFT IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:16:44

Tigers take a knee to go to overtime. Irish win the toss and will go on defense. 1st OT game for the Tigers since NC State in 2016!

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:17:46

DJ TO CORNELL TOUCHDOWN!!! On first play of overtime! 2nd TD of the game for Powell!

TIGERS LEAD 40-33 IN 1ST OT.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:20:41

Good grief, refs say Cornell's shin touched the ground before the ball crossed the goal line. I don't think that was indisputable at all.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:21:14

DJ PUNCHES IT IN FOR A TD!!! No replay on that one!

TIGERS LEAD 40-33 IN 1ST OT.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:23:32

Great Book has all the time in the world and completes it for a 1st down at the 8. Bresee looks to be hurt.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:25:49

Williams runs for a TD and the PAT is good.

TIED 40-40 AFTER 1ST OT.

Good grief Bresee and Sheridan Jones collide and are both down.

Good grief the refs FINALLY call a hold on the Irish, but they also hit Charleston with roughing for shoving Book out of bounds. Lol Result is 1st down at the 20.

MURPHY TFL! 2nd and 10 from the 25.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:36:31

Book runs yet again for 12 yards to make it 3rd and 3.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:36:52

Completion makes it 1st and goal at the 4.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:38:15

2nd and goal from the 3.

Williams runs for another TD. Tigers' D is totally out of gas and banged up. If the Tigers can score a TD on their next possession, they should go for 2 and the win.

TIGERS TRAIL 47-40 IN 2ND OT.

Ugh DJ sacked. 2nd and 19 at the 34.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:42:37

Another sack! 3rd and forever at the 39.

CUTrevor 2020-11-07 22:43:36

Davis Allen has the pass broken up. Tigers need a miracle on 4th and 24 with the game on the line.

Ugh that's the ball game. The Tigers just ran out of gas in overtime with all the players out and that big offensive line for the Irish. The Tigers had the game all but won but got too conservative with the ball and 2 minutes on the clock, running just 15 seconds off before punting and allowing Notre Dame to score with under 30 seconds left. Give Notre Dame credit, but the Tigers win that game by 30 with all their players, or even Trevor and half the other players they were missing.

50-game Saturday win streak, 39-game non-bowl streak and 28-game ACC win streak all come to an end. Their only 2 non-bowl losses since 2016 have come without their starting quarterback, and both were one-score losses on the road! The last, of course, being at Syracuse on Friday the 13th in 2017.

Thank goodness, the Tigers have a much-needed bye next week so they can get some guys healthy and get Trevor Lawrence back for the FSU game in Tallahassee two weeks from today.

I'll have post-game interviews posted shortly.

TIGERS LOSE 47-40 IN DOUBLE OVERTIME.
