Everett Golson's "Imperfect - Record" Night

Notre Dame QB Everett Golson completed a school record 25 straight passes tonight on his way to a 4 TD, 362 yards of passing performance in the Fighting Irish's 31 - 16 win over Syracuse...

The 25 straight completions fell one short of the NCAA record.

Unfortunately, a fumble, two interceptions -- one a "pick six" -- gives Everett, Coach Kelly and Coach LaFleur something to work on this weeK as the Irish prepare for #16 Stanford.

Here is Everett with the media after the game:

#8 Notre Dame Gets Win #4 Tonight in Jersey

The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame won a game tonight in front of the largest crowd to ever see a college football game at MetLife Stadium.

Notre Dame's 31 - 16 win over Syracuse -- marked the first time a Notre Dame team has scored 30 plus points in four straight games to start a season since 1943.  And, it included a ND record for most consecutive completions by a QB! (25 or 26 -- still waiting for final clarification)...

And, the good news -- it took me this long to bring up the five turnovers...

Here's the quick media reaction to tonight's victory:
