. . heart beat . . water splashing rain drops engine revving tires on wet road . . Mike if youre a fan of the spartans, youre thinking december 5th would be nice. When they had a big ten championship over iowa. 22play, 9minute drive. They dont need all that. Out of the ground. That guy, l. J. Scott. And scott has about four yards, on first down. Isaac rochell the tackle. 5 44 on that clock. Doug we talked about in commercial break. A fullback in the flat. Make it look like the same play you just ran. Lo and release that fullback and make a nice safe pass play out of it. Mike the spartans bring in terry in at quarterback. They will send Tyler Oconnor out to a receiver spot. Terry, more of a runner. And he will do the designed run here. 5 07 to go. Its about to get loud. Doug theres no deception here. You see number 6 in the ball game. Staying lateral. Rochell, chasing it down from the backside. Puts a tough third down situation now. So much more difficult, to throw the ball, and convert on third and five, than a second down, playaction. Mike to get to t oconnor throws. No. Notre dame will get the ball back. Doug a defense that could not get off the field, in the entire second and Third Quarter, all of a sudden, with backtobackstops. Mike Michigan State went into protect made. And sometimes its hard to put that new disc back in and doug playing fourman rush. Playing softer. Tyler got his confidence rolling. Mike hartbarger is now with space. He just did. From the 23. Sanders. Hemmed in. And brought down, right around the 30 yard line. 4 18 to go. Kizer coming out on the field. Lets look at the last drive, doug. Doug when they needed it, kizer was pump faking. Nt get answer interference call. 50 50 down the field. The key to this drive, is offensive line play. Kizer was not this clean, early in the game. He was getting hit on every throw. Now, he is standing cleanly. Throwing the ball. Delivering. And the offensive line has picked up their game. Kizer, with a doublemove to the tight end. Stick nod down the middle of the field, threw a touchdown to his big tight end. Montana leading them back, in the cotton bowl against houston. Can the irish get back to force overtime here . Kizer, trying to throw it underneath. And too hard behind, as his intended receiver, c. J. Sanders, was blanketed. Doug its a fourman rush, to allow kizer to deliver the ball. There, he went through progression and got hit as he threw. Execution by the offensive line. Mike folston is the back for this key drive, he helped try to block malik mcdowell. And that pass is complete. Caught by equanimeous st. Brown. Fourth catch of the night for st. Brown. Doug kizer stood tall on the back foot and delivered. Third down converses, look for a kizer run. Mike so often, that first pressure is on. Kizer, surveys. Trying to take off. Cant get away. Brought down. Williams, the redshirt freshman from chicago. Biggest defensive play so far. Forty and seven. 3 37 to go. Going to take timeout here to make the decision. Doug there wasnt a lot there. I was looking downfield for a route. If kizer thought to talk off, he might have had a crease. But things closed up quickly. The Coverage Today looked solid. Right off the line, maybe c. J. Sanders has it quick. Other than that, it was good conch on that play. Mike the spartan before the snap. Chris frye went back to the middle of the field safety. They did a good job of keeping timeouts left. 3 37. Do you trust your defense enough to punt it away and hope you get the ball back . Thats what ryan kelly is going to do, knowing a couple of first downs and you dont get back on the field. Doug if im kizer, im lobbying to go for it. Im feeling good right now. Weve been moving the football. An i dont trust anybodys defense anyway. Mike said by a quarterback. Tyler newsome will come on to kick it away. Great kick. Newsome does his job to make it a lock field, with 3 30 remaining. Doug im not saying its the best percentage move. But offensively, Michigan State has gone a little conservative. And Tyler Oconnor, a couple of trigger, trying to run for it and got a tack. On the last drive, he might the able to stick that completion in for the first down. But a defensive back was breaking on the ball. He threw it low and away and played it safe. He played it a little too safe the last couple possessions and they end up three and out. Mike scott will be the running back for this drive. 3 30 left. Notre dame two timeouts. To use. Doug three offensive linemen to the left side. Mike starting to look that way. Gain a yard of two. Second down, coming up. Tighter. And bunching people up. Its not gashing for seven or eight. Its a push for two or three. Mike that is difference. And the defense was on the ropes a lot. Basing the Third Quarter onslaught, as Michigan State scored 31. Second and eight, leading all the play clock. And scott has to get to the outside. Can he get there . No. A good job on the edge. And avery sebastian, who good job in the second half, as notre dame uses its second timeout, with 2 36 to go in regulations. Doug what a job by onwualu. He closes this down. He is coming from the left side of the screen. Takes a shoulder and keeps it tight inside. When scott tries to bounce it, he still has leverage and comes out, makes a play. Great job on taking on a fullback block. And then, what Bill Belichick would say, setting the edge to turn it up. Onwualu kept a free arm on the outside. Mike he was a wide receiver. Bounced around and found his way on this side of the ball with a captain. Doug when thats happening, youre not expecting a guy that is going to become a captain of your football te and hes been resilient. A big part of this team and a starter. And there, a huge play on second down. Creating another third down opportunity. Mike he said i wanted to be the hammer, not the nail. He moved over to defense. And now, they find a way to make a play here. Or it may be a case for the irish, in terms of the comeback. Third and seven. The spartans need to get to the will fire. Wideopen at the 35 yard line for the first down. Donnie corley jr. Huge first down gain of 28 for Michigan State. Doug cole luke is playing the top third of the field. He gets his and looking up the seam, expects the seam route. And all of a sudden, leaves his man. And the ball thrown outside. Mike those are the basics that hurt him in the game at texas. Basic coverage busts. 2 04. Michigan state close to closing this out. And kelly will use the final timeout he has. He had called it a new seconds earlier. Brian kelly, disbelief in what happened in his secondary. Van grodins defense in coverage. Doug it wouldnt have been thrown if he were sitting in it a at third. He was trying to make a play by eyeing a guy coming up the seam. Thinking he might be able to break on a ball, and started drifting, left his responsibility. Big conversion for Michigan State. Mike 1 57 left, out of timeouts. Youre almost in a scenario where the best Michigan State runs the ball twice, the best you can do is probably get the ball back with a half minute you see the schedule. Notre dame will play duke here. The Bigger Picture of this comeback that might fall a drive start, as kelly tries to get the answers from his defensive coordinator. Notre dame is going to lose two of the first three. And you can recover from an early loss to get back in the playoff picture. You can recover from early loss, especially when youre in a conference. The stated goal of being part of a College Football playoffs, like the spartans were las grass for the irish here. Unless they can make Something Special happen. Second and five for msu. Holmes is stopped. Spartans snap it with 1 10 left for third down. The spartans next week, play to indiana, to maryland, to illinois. They get the wolverines and the buckeyes coming to their place. Wisconsin is ranked number nine. But they had one with Georgia State earlier today. Doug iowa wasnt too happy, talking big ten. Mike losing to North Carolina state, the bison. Spartans get this one, they close it out. R. J. Shelton steals this one. Down to the 25 yard line. And the spartans go back winners here tonight. Doug this has been the play thats killed notre dame all night long. Shelton, running tough. Holding the offensive line. Getting on the corner. Big guys on little guys. Getting outside. Broken tackle. Once he got to the secondary, thats the only hope defensively. He can take that all the way to the end zone and be down two scores. Mike im thinking that shelton can go down there. And Michigan State will come in here, 500 total yards of offense. They lose one here on the kneeldown. How about Tyler Oconnor. You have started two get that ball back, tyler. Absolutely. I hope they give it to you because your two road starts at number two ohio state, as an ohio native. And you won as a kid who came irish play. Youre one game played at notre dame stadium, the second road start, you get a win, as well. Nice story to tell for a fifth year senior. Doug phenomenal effort. Phenomenal effort. Ran with the ball. Key completions. Even towards the end of the game, he was conservative with the ball towards the end of the game. But it played out. He knew what kind of defense he has. He knew he could run the game. He runs the show with this offense. Mike he rubs a balanced offense tonight. Kathryn you let off a sigh of relief. Describe what it is like coaching tonight. It was tight. Great comeback by notre dame. I thought our guys played really well. But you know, filed it away at the end. A great run by r. J. Shelton gets kathryn notre dame made it interesting there at the end of the game. How did you manage to hold them off . Deshone kizer, he started to hit his plays. Went downfield a little bit. Has great poise. You saw them do that against texas, as well. Got a great football team. You know, theyre never going to be out of the Football Game. Thats the way it is. They did a great job coming back. Kathryn what does the win mean for the season . A big win. Has v to get ready for wisconsin exciting for our players. Kathryn mike . Mike thanks, kathryn.
