ND ran and passed over GT for victory. Special Teams had a few tricks and ND has a new Vicious LB Drayk Bowen.
Bowen fron Indiana had a great game and man is he a hard hitter. The GT QB knows his name now.
Check out the game highlights:
Navy runs the triple option and aside from cut blocks is no match for ND – but you can’t let them control the clock.
The Defense has to stop this and with Bowen destroying QB’s – this will be fun.
Georgia Tech came to ND on Senior Day and ran into a buzz saw. Everything bad that could happen to Georgia Tech did including MTA’s fumble scoop for a 70 yard TD.
Foskey punched the ball out of QB Jordan Yates and then Foskey blocked Yates all the way down the field. Yates also threw a pick to Jack Kiser for a 52 yd TD.
Jack Coan 15/20 285 and 2 TD’s and ND ended with 514 yards with everyone getting into the act.
Michael Mayer had 86 yds receiving including a 52 yarder for a TD.
Kevin Austin had 89 yards receiving while Kyren Williams and Logan Diggs ran all over the field.
One DB had the misfortune of getting dumped by OT Josh Lugg 10 yards downfield.
Tyler Buchner just entered the game and ran 68 yards before running out of gas.
So ND is 10-1 with Stanford next 8PM ET on FOX.

Here is the Brian Kelly post game press conference:
The only interest I have in this game is comparing Georgia Tech vs ND to Georgia Tech vs Georgia next week.
The only bright spot for Georgia Tech this year was a close 14-8 loss to Clemson and a 45-22 win over North Carolina. They are on a 4 game losing slide and stand at 3-7.
But ND typically plays down against teams like this. I again look for a slow ND start and under performing output on offense.
Tech has a blazing fast RB in Gibbs who last week was able to return a 98 yard punt return to the house. Their QB Jeff Sims is questionable, but if he plays he can run all over the place.
While ND should blow them out I expect a pedestrian 37 point win.
Score Prediction: Notre Dame 37 Georgia Tech 17
Here is the Brian Kelly pre-game press conference:
Outside of a returned fumble 93 yards, Georgia Tech could barely do anything against the ND defense. Especially against Kyle Hamilton, D. Hayes and finally the reinsertion of Jack Kiser at the Buck LB position. Hayes got the game ball.
On offense Book was 18/26 200 yds. with 2 TD’s including a perfect endzone pass to Joe Wilkins for his first TD. The big producers this game were Javon McKinley 5/93 yds with K. Williams running again for 100 yards.
Nothing fancy here, bland offense as they save it for Clemson next week.
Boston College gave Clemson all they could handle. Clemson came behind to win the game 34-26.
Blondie with the long hair did not play and is out for the ND game. They have a big replacement 6’4″ 250 lbs who can pass and run, but they did not look like the Clemson of the last several years. They can be beat.
