This is Irish Illustrated Insider. It's Monday, October 11th. Notre Dame moves to 5-1 with a 32-29 victory at Virginia Tech.

Guys, take it over. I mean, that's how I felt on our incident analysis. Here's what happened.

Here's the score.

Here's how the game was won.

And let's try to unpack the last three and a half hours of our lives because that was nuts.

Pete, I saw your tweet.

I'm trying to figure it out for musings.

Is it the craziest win?

I mean, it's that one or all the Todd Graham games that Brian Kelly's played. Yeah, no, I thought it was the most ridiculous, insane, bizarre Notre Dame victory that I've ever covered.

I'm trying to think, like, who would else would be in the conversation, Pittsburgh in 2012.

But like that, that one, like, made a little bit more sense.

Like, oh, it's going to be left down after Oklahoma.

This one was just sort of, like, out of nowhere, the quarterback back and forth.

And then back, you know, just all the, the number of freshmen who played and how much they played,

the offensive line struggling so much all year and then getting it together.

You know, the defense being a little hit and miss, but also like really like winning some key moments in the game that made the difference.

You know, they had a fourth and they had a first and goal at the one

in the first half and that turned into three points. Like, you know, Notre Dame went four

four in the red zone with touchdowns. And that's what I was going to bring up. So here, yeah,

here was a, you know, Virginia Tech allowed seven penetrations of the red zone. Nordheim had

11 offensively and Nordham scores four touchdowns on four penetrations.

Right.
