Media's Initial Reaction to ND's 3 OT Win!

The Fightin' Irish are 9 - 0 and that's really all that matters right now for this football program.  There were some positives tonight:

• 522 yards of total offense
• Holding Pittsburgh to 1 for 14 on third down
• 34 first downs against only 13 for Pitt
• 231 yards of rushing
• And, almost eleven more minutes in time of possession

Yet, it took THREE OVERTIMES and a MISSED FIELD GOAL for Notre Dame to go to 9 - 0 on the season.  The Irish overcame:

• Three turnovers on offense -- while getting ZERO on defense
• Special teams that were not so special -- kick-off and punt -- all struggled big time
• Field goal miss and an extra point miss
• 170+ rushing by Pitt's Graham
• Two long drives to start the game on offense and NO TD's to show for it

It's His Team Now: Everett Golson Leads IRISH!

Folks, there were many who didn't BELIEVE after Golson threw an interception in the endzone with approximately three minutes left and the IRISH down 8 -- they left Notre Dame Stadium.

Yet, here we are THREE OVERTIMES later and Notre Dame is 9 - 0 thanks to a two-point conversion (PLAY OF THE YEAR), a missed field goal and a team that refuses to lose...

Notre Dame 29 -- Pittsburgh 26

The photo above - taken by Travis Mather -- is the Play of the Year for Notre Dame football.  That's Everett Golson diving into the endzone to tie the game!
