Notre Dame defeats Virginia Tech 21 to 20.

As Ian Book leads Nordame on the game-winning touchdown drive, 18 plays, 87 yards.

Notre Dame moves to 6 and 2.

I'm Tim Priestel. I'm Tim Priestere with Tim O'Malley. Pete Samson

will be joining us shortly. Tim, Nerdy, very fortunate, obviously very fortunate. Not very

fortunate in the first half when they actually had two opportunities to go up 21 to 7, the fumble

at the goal line, but also the near scoop and score by Jeremiah Wusu Coromo,

which I kind of forgot about until I started rewatching the game.

But, you know, bad breaks, and then after that, they weren't very good offensively.

And fortunately, the defense stepped forward and held them in a couple field goal drives

and got the football back in time for them to drive down and score the game-winning touchdown.

And that was crucial because Virginia Tech, I wouldn't say they found something offensively in the

second half because they only had to held the two field goals, but they were no longer going

three and out every position.

And that added up because, you know, Tech had a 10-play drive and then a seven-play drive when

Noran got the ball back.

You had to give them just about that much time, clearly,

because it was one of the weirder drives to win a game.

There were so many incomplete passes, the runs that didn't work,

passes that are gimmies that Virginia Tech didn't give them.

But he made big plays.
