I live abroad and missed the whole game ;-(. Summaries (even brief) are appreciated!
1Q
ND had some OL miscommunication and incomplete passes to start.
SU had 3 False Starts and incomplete passes to start.
On their 4th drive SU drove down the field to ND's 43 then Hogan threw an a long pass down the ND sideline INTERCEPTED inside the 10 by Luke.
Golson ran on first down for a couple yds and fumbled. Recovered by SU.
On second play Hogan sold a pass then ran into the ND EZ for the score. SU 7-0
They traded 3 and outs. Then Golson hit Brown for 20 yds to close the 1Q. Folston had a great block picking up a blitzer.
2Q
Procise ran for 26 on an end around and a personal foul took it down to the 11.
Golson feeling pressure ran left extending the play then threw to a WR at the left corner of the goal line. Defender stepped in front for the INT at the SU 2.
SU went 3 and out.
ND started inside SU 40 and drove to SU 24. Drive stalled. On 41 yd FG attempt the holder who everyone knows now, Hunter Smith, mishandled the snap for a missed FG.
SU then drove to ND 24. Onwualu had a big stick on one of the running plays. Drive stalled and SU tried a FG. Snap was over the kicker's head. ND's ball on downs at ND 38.
ON the first play Folston had a nice run but there was a question about a fumble. Replay didn't show any fumble. After a couple of inc. passes Golston ripped off 33 yds on a QB draw. He had both arms wrapped around the ball like a fullback when tackled.
Golson then hit Chris Brown on a crossing route just over the LOS for a 17 TD. 7-7
They then traded 3 and outs to close the half.
3Q
ND drove into SU territory and punted.
SU got a couple of 1st downs then BVG showed pressure from the strongside while Trumbetti streaked in from the weakside for sack. After a couple of incompletions, Tranquil got his hand on the punt but the ball rolled to ND 37.
ND got a first down than Brindza punted to SU 13.
ND forced another 3 and out.
ND got a first down but the drive stalled after Golson was tackled for a sack. Actually, Golson ran trying to split two rushers being blocked but was knocked down by Elmer being pushed back into him. The SU defender backed up Elmer up like he was a HS OL. Brindza punted to SU 15.
SU ran two plays to end the 3Q tied at 7.
4Q
On the first play of the quarter, Luke dove in front of a receiver for an INT inside SU 40.
ND drive stalled at SU 10. ND went for FG but another mishandled snap lead to Brindza kicking the ball out of both of the holder's hands. SU returned the block to their 44.
BVG's boys held SU to another 3 and out.
ND started at their 20 and mixed runs and passes to Robinson to drive to SU 28. Brindza was sent out for a FG and this time the holder, Hunter Smith was wearing GLOVES. 45 FG GOOD for the 10-7 lead.
Montgomery ripped off a 40 yd kickoff return. SU mixed runs and passes for a first and goal at the 10. After 2 runs for the loss of a yd, ND split the safeties wide leaving the middle open. SU ran up the gut as their OLine put on a clinic of getting to the second level and taking out the LBs. RB went 11 yds untouched for the TD. SU 14-ND 10 with 3 minutes to play.
SU kicked off out of bounds giving ND the ball at the 35. Golson then moved the team down the field throwing to different receivers. Fuller picked up 11. Robinson 17. Fuller then forced a Pass Interference for a first down at the 22. ND had a 3 and 7 when Golson standing in the middle of the pocket saw Koyack wide open in the left front corner of the end zone. Golson moved left, I believe to prevent a blocked pass by the onrushing defenders and neatly hit Koyack for the game winning score. ND 17-14 with a minute to play.
Brindza buried the kickoff out the back of the end zone where it was cleanly fielded by the bank leader in a raincoat.
ND gave up a couple of short passes in a prevent defense. The game ended with SU at midfield.
