Tech QB Thomas Castellanos has 4 touchdown passes, 287 passing yards and 78 rushing yards at halftime. Points, points and more points in this one.
What a scene in South Bend.
It’s pretty clear who the new No. 1 will be next week after Miami lost and the No. 2 Bulldogs crushed No. 10 Ole Miss on the road.
A lot happened in this play that ultimately ended in ND’s hands.
Miami’s number 1 breaks down! The last gasp ended in failure for the Hurricanes, and the No. 11 Irish take a well-deserved victory for their playoff resume.
Miami falls to 8-1 after suffering its first loss.
Notre Dame is stopped on third down and will have to punt with 1:03 remaining. Miami will get one last shot with no timeouts.
The Irish move the chains to reach the 2 minute stoppage. Miami has two timeouts left, so it’s likely another ND first down will seal this one.
Talyn Taylor scores on a 65-yard play. He has 140 yards and 3 touchdowns today on just FOUR catches.
Georgia 42, Ole Miss 7
Darian Mensah’s pass to Elija Lofton looked like a touchdown but the ball was knocked away at the last possible second by Luke Talich. Massive stop by the Notre Dame defense to preserve the 7-point lead with 3:36 remaining.
Spencer Porath’s 53-yard try was wide of the mark. Miami takes over while still trailing 31-24.

If you like a lot of points, flip it to ESPN. The Red Raiders and Mountaineers are currently averaging two points per minute. WVU QB Michael Hawkins Jr. is 5 of 5 for 183 yards and a touchdown.
It turned into an offensive showcase. The Canes move him down the field on a 75-yard, 7-play drive capped by Darian Mensah’s 1-yard pass to Cooper Barkate. We’re back to a one-score game.

There is a good reason why this game is not televised on television or cable television.
The teams totaled 317 yards over three quarters. Michigan has only 111 of those yards and has only run 37 plays. It’s been a bad season in Ann Arbor and it could be a lot worse with a loss to a Spartans team that has yet to win a conference game.
Gunner Stockton rushes to his left, then throws a run to Talyn Taylor for a 6-yard TD. The eruption continues as we are late in the 3rd quarter.
Georgia 35, Ole Miss 0
Rasean Dinkins removes Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss, and the nightmare continues for the Rebels.
Luke Talich jumps in front Darian Mensah’s pass to give ND a huge momentum-changing turnover. The Irish take over in their own 49.
Another quick, empty possession for the Irish puts the ball back in Miami’s hands with a chance to tie. Things are getting tense for the home fans.
