Notre Dame Players Talk Win Over #1 Clemson

Posted by at

What I Will Never Forget About Last Night...


It was a game "for the ages" -- as our #4 ranked Fighting Irish of Notre Dame stood "toe to toe" with the #1 Clemson Tigers...


Here's what I will never forget about last night:

  1. My reaction and my family's reaction when Kyren Williams takes the 2nd play from scrimmage and goes 65 yards for a TD!
  2. Kyren Williams picking up the Clemson blitz, all night long -- a tip of the cap to you young man!
  3. Overcoming costly mistakes in the redzone -- throwing away 15 points
    1. Michael Mayer's illegal motion -- ND lost 4 points 
    2. Michael Mayer's drop -- ND lost 4 points
    3. Ian Book's fumble into the endzone -- ND lost 7 points
  4. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramorah taking the fumbled pitch into the end zone -- Etienne could feel a beat down coming and he flinched...
  5. Javon McKinley's great finger tip catch -- when we really needed a big play!
  6. The punishment Notre Dame put on Clemson -- player after player leaving with injury in those orange and purple helmets in the 4th quarter
  7. Dabo talking the ACC officials into picking up a flag -- after  an obvious pass interference penalty late in the 4th quarter
  8. A 91 yard drive in the closing minutes -- that culminated with the "seas parting" and an open Avery Davis catching a perfectly thrown deep ball from Ian Book -- and the short TD pass a couple plays later...
  9. Notre Dame's defensive line taking the game over in the 2nd OT with back-to-back sacks -- after Notre Dame's go-ahead OT TD!
  10. The camera shot (from above the field) of the student body running onto the field
  11. And, my Domer son's reaction -- watching him run out of our house (with his girlfriend) to join the expected on-campus celebration in the water of the Clarke Memorial Fountain...

 

Funny end to the story:  Apparently our Notre Dame student body doesn't know about the tradition of jumping into the fountain after big wins...  When they arrived, no one was around.  However, I'm proud to say my Domer son (Class of  2008) was the first to jump in and kept the tradition alive...
