CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:17:59

Ugh bad news for the Tigers. Xavier Thomas did not travel with the team. Presumably, his foot must have been bothering him since the Syracuse game, but it could be something else. I'll get more info from Dabo after the game.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:27:15

Cuse lost to Pitt! The Tigers have clinched the division! Lol that solves Dabo's dilemma with the Orange Britches next week. He can go with the traditional purple next week on Military Appreciation Day. 8th division title for Dabo. Remember, there were no divisions in 2020.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:28:03

I got a tremendous walking tour from my buddy Stephen, who's a Notre Dame grad, before the game! I'll have pics and video for you later!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:33:18

Walk of Champions! I'll have video in a bit!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:35:18

Captains for the Tigers are DJ, Mascoll, Parks and Maguire. Tigers win the toss and defer! Irish will get the ball first.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:36:04

By the way, it is WINDY!!! It was much worse a few hours ago but is still very strong gusts at time. It was much more windy today than the hurricane game in 2015!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:39:03

Irish run for about 4 yards on first down and then complete a pass to Mayer to the 39. That didn't take long!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:39:50

Big 3rd and 4 coming!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:40:14

SACK MURPHY!!! D forces a punt!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:44:10

Tigers take over at their 25 after a 31-yard punt!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:45:09

Ugh screen pass to Allen for a nice gain is negated by a hold on Collins.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:45:33

2nd and 22 after a short pass to Shipley.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:46:11

Good grief another hold on Collins! Lol he's coming out of the game and probably won't be back for a while. Might go a 3rd straight game without a catch.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:46:33

3rd and 22 coming up after the 2 holds.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:48:13

8 yard completion to Allen. Tigers will go 3 and out thanks to the 2 holds by Collins.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:49:51

UGH BLOCKED PUNT! Returned for a TD by the Irish. Good grief, the Tigers knew that the Irish had 3 blocks coming in! That's just like the big fumble-six by Owusu I mentioned after the hit on Etienne in 2020. What a disastrous start on the road for the Tigers!

TIGERS TRAIL 7-0 IN 1ST.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:54:18

1st down Antonio Williams! Nice blocking by Ngata on the edge. Collins is back in the game already.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:54:59

Collins makes a catch for 3 yards. His first catch in 3 games!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:55:27

Shipley runs for 13 yards! 1st down at the Irish 44!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:56:24

Ugh Antonio tackled for a 4 yard loss. Big 3rd and 14 coming!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:57:08

Completion to Allen comes up 4 yards short. Tigers going for it on 4th and 4 because of the wind. Too long a field goal in this wind.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 18:57:37

Ugh Collins had a step, but DJ sailed it over his head. Irish take over on downs at their 38.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:02:38

Big 3rd and 4 coming after a few runs by the Irish.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:03:03

Pass batted down by Simpson! The Tigers have done a great job batting balls down all season.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:03:26

Ugh good punt and roll all the way to the Tigers' 13.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:07:35

Ugh Tigers go 3 and out. They did exactly the ONE thing you don't want to do on the road at night, when the opponent is looking to feed off the emotion of the crowd: give up a blocked punt for a TD!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:07:59

Tigers better get a turnover back or do something soon to swing momentum back their way.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:08:26

67 yard punt by Swanson to the Irish 15!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:09:57

Ugh Irish pick up a couple first downs and will have 1st down at their 47 to start the 2nd quarter.

TIGERS TRAIL 7-0 AFTER ONE.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:13:35

TFL MAGUIRE AND PHILLIPS! That's the way you start a quarter. 2nd and 12 now for Irish.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:13:59

Completion to Mayer for 6. Big 3rd and 6 coming up at midfield!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:15:20

INCOMPLETE! Tyler Davis drilled Pyne! Great, clean hit too. Tigers force a punt!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:15:31

Tigers take over at their 20!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:16:21

Shipley runs for 14 on the first play! Gashed em right up the middle.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:17:14

Incomplete deep to EJ Williams on the sideline. Good coverage, and the throw was a little off. EJ Williams has been a ghost lately!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:17:44

Big 3rd and 7 coming up!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:19:02

Good grief DJ takes a sack. He had plenty of time too. Should have stepped up in the pocket. Tigers have to punt again.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:19:30

Ugh Irish will take over at their 47 after a shank by Swanson for 24 yards. Great field position once again!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:23:40

Ugh Irish with a couple more good runs. Big 3rd and 10 coming though at the Tigers' 37 after a dropped pass!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:24:40

Good grief 13-yard run for another 1st down at the Tigers' 24. Irish are running the ball down their throat!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:25:14

Good job by the coverage on 1st down. Pyne throws it away. This is Mayer time in the red zone!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:25:37

Short run brings up a huge 3rd and 10 again!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:26:36

Davis bats it down again! Irish will attempt a 32-yard field goal.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:27:11

NO GOOD!!! WIDE LEFT! Their kicker is now 10-14 on the season. Tigers take over at their 24!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:30:39

Shipley runs for 8 yards and 4 more for a 1st down at the Tigers' 36.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:31:10

Ugh Spector drops a screen on 1st down. Not a perfect throw, but he should have caught it.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:32:14

Good grief another terrible screen pass! That was a backward pass too, so it cost the Tigers 7 yards. 3rd and 17 now.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:34:51

Shipley runs up the middle for 8 yards and the Tigers will have to punt again on 4th and 9.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:35:21

The Tigers have been absolutely sloppy, especially after a bye, and it's a miracle they're only down 7 points right now.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:39:08

Irish take over at their 22.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:39:58

Irish still running the ball down their throat! 2nd and 5 now at the Tigers' 32.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:42:30

Another 1st down run.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:43:33

Ugh Pyne runs 10 yards for another 1st down at the 16.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:44:54

Completion to Mayer for 1st and goal inside the 5.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:47:11

Pyne fakes out the defense and runs for a TD. That's his first rush TD of the season! Irish have run the ball down the Tigers' throats so far. Just one pass on that 78-yard drive.

TIGERS TRAIL 14-0 IN 2ND.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:54:03

The Tigers once again have crappy field position at their 16 thanks to a penalty on Henry for leaping on the PAT, No time left anyway I guess.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:55:21

Lol DJ takes another bad sack with plenty of time! He is like a deer in headlights, just like last game. Dabo may need to start Cade in the 2nd half.

TIGERS TRAIL 14-0.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:56:30

Lol of course, Parks called for unsportsmanlike before heading to the tunnel. What else could go wrong for the Tigers??

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 19:58:14

I say they give DJ one series to see if he can mount a drive and make a couple good passes. If not, bring Cade in.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:11:09

DJ is back in there!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:11:38

Yet another screen pass to Allen. This time it's completed with no penalties though!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:11:56

Wow a penalty on the Irish! First one of the game!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:12:19

DJ's pass is way off for Ngata on the go route, and he was well covered anyway.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:12:37

Shipley runs for 5. Huge 3rd and 5 coming!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:13:50

Good grief DJ takes yet another sack! 3rd of the game. Tigers will have to punt.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:14:55

Great punt by Swanson! 50 yards and downed at the 5! Let's see if the D can actually force a 3 and out and make the field position work for them.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:16:52

Good grief 20 yard rush on 1st down. So much for flipping the field!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:19:01

Another 1st down for the Irish at midfield.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:22:50

Whew! No targeting call on Trotter. They actually made the right call. That would have been a bad loss for the Tigers.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:23:28

Huge 3rd and 6 coming at the Tigers' 45.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:24:41

D forces a punt! Tigers have terrible field position yet again at their 6.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:26:53

Looks like it will still be DJ for another try.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:29:24

COLLINS FIRST DOWN!!! Whew they needed that 3rd down conversion! 2nd catch for Collins tonight after none in the past 2 games.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:30:28

Shipley gains 3 on 2 runs. Huge 3rd and 7 coming!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:31:25

FIRST DOWN RANDALL!!! Ball at the Tigers' 45.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:31:56

Ugh incomplete to Randall, who was well covered. Antonio was open!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:32:28

Another huge 3rd and 7 coming up!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:33:42

Ugh incomplete to diving Randall. Tigers have to punt again. Maybe they'll be able to force a 3 and out for once!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:34:17

Ugh Swanson's punt is returned to the 25.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:38:49

Well so much for 3 and out. Irish run the ball right down their throats again to their 45.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:39:31

Ugh complete to Thomas for 15 yards and a 1st down at the Tigers' 40.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:40:30

Carter with a TFL. They better bow up here on 3rd and 3 or force a turnover!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:42:01

Tigers get a stop and force a punt!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:45:36

Cade is in the game! Terrible field position like it's been all night, starting at their 10. Tiger should be down 21-0 or 28-0 after spotting them 7 points and being dominated!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:46:01

Good grief Cade is almost sacked and throws a pick. Irish ball at the 14.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:48:45

That's the end of the quarter. 2nd and 7 to start the 4th at the Tigers' 11.

TIGERS TRAIL 14-0 HEADED TO THE 4TH.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:49:07

Tigers haven't been shut out since 2003 against UGA.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:51:58

Ugh Pyne runs 7 yards for a 1st down followed by a late hit by Venables. 1st and goal.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:52:27

Estime pounds it in for a touchdown.

TIGERS TRAIL 21-0 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:54:42

DJ back in the game.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:55:28

Tigers get a PI and have a 1st down across midfield.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:56:15

Another PI on Collins, and it looks like he has an injured bicep or shoulder. 1st down at the Irish 33.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:56:47

Completion to Shipley for 7.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:57:25

Complete to Antonio for another 1st down at the Irish 19. Where was this the first 3 quarters??

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:58:10

Davis Allen had a TD but got drilled. Should be targeting! He probably has a concussion.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 20:58:59

No targeting. Lol good grief Allen got hit helmet to helmet twice!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:02:26

Of course, DJ throws a pick-six for 90 yards. Lol what a nightmare...

TIGERS TRAIL 28-0 IN 4TH.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:03:27

Well, the playoff is out the window, but the Tigers can still go 13-1 with an ACC Championship and the Orange Bowl.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:04:37

3rd and 6 coming from the Tigers' 29.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:05:17

Complete to Randall for a 1st down.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:06:29

Mafah runs for a 1st down at the 45.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:07:15

Will Taylor has a pass knocked out of his hands.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:07:41

Complete to Allen down the seam for a 1st down at the Irish 23.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:08:04

Complete again to Antonio for 8 yards.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:08:45

Good grief DJ sacked again. 3rd and 8 from the 21.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:09:01

DJ runs to the one!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:09:21

TD SHIPLEY!!! At least they avoided the shutout!

TIGERS TRAIL 28-7 WITH 10:14 LEFT.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:09:59

Take away the 2 picks and the blocked punt, and it's a 7-7 game. Lol

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:16:31

Irish running down their throat again. 1st down at the Tigers' 40.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:20:36

Estime runs for another 1st down at the Tigers' 30. Haven't been able to stop the run all night.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:23:25

Yet another run down their throat for another 1st down at the 20.

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:23:50

I'm headed down to the field. I'll have post-game interviews in a bit!

CUTrevor 2022-11-05 21:56:42

Notre Dame tacked on another TD but the Tigers answered with a TD pass from DJ to Ngata.

TIGERS LOSE 35-14.

I'll have post-game interviews posted in a bit!
