| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Shamrock. I'm Pete Sampson at top Notre Dame Stadium, joined by Matt Fortuna back home in Chicago. |
| 0:22.1 | And Matt, this is a tough one to make sense of because we've been covering Notre Dame a long time. |
| 0:28.2 | This is a game of Notre Dame always found a way to win under Brian Kelly. |
| 0:31.1 | They work 42 straight against underranked competition. |
| 0:34.2 | Marshall upsets Notre Dame as a 20-point underdog, 2621. |
