About 30 minutes away from the telecast. 40 minutes or so from kickoff.

Check back here during the game for commentary and as requested I will keep it locked and separate from everything else.

Let's get this rolling already!

Go Irish!

Just a gut feeling that UGA will go play-action on first play with Fromm. Probably settle down after that with heavy run game, but bet they take a shot early. If not first play, then sometime in first drive.

Mike Tirico on the call makes this feel like a big game should.

UGA won the toss and defers. ND would have probably chosen to receive anyway.

Sanders takes it to the 25.

Flea-flicker and EQ got loose, but great play by Dominick Sanders to rake at the arm to break it up.

3rd down and UGA rushes 5. Good protection, Wimbush overthrows but there is a flag on the play. DPI on DeAndre Baker. Blatant. EQ was targeted

Play-action to Cam Smith. Wide open on the crosser. ND in FG range already.

Couple of Adams runs sets up 3 and short. Nice job by the OL on 2nd down to get movement.

3 and 3

Wimbush overthrows Adams. He was open. Good news is that guys are getting open.

Yoon is true on the FG attempt

3-0 Irish

Evander's kid with a big return, but holding takes it all the way back.

Great hustle from JGH to make the TD saving tackle regardless.

1 and 10 from the 18

PA on 1st down, but quick hitter.

Uptempo to start. 3 step as expected on 2nd down.

Tranquill misses in the open field on jet sweep, but holding called on the play. Penalty brings it back and negates a good tackle by Julian Love to not let that go for long yards

2 and 15, Morgan came off the edge free. Forced Fromm to throw it away.

First 3rd down. Bet they call it safe and go for a draw

I was wrong and they threw. Nice job with the stunt by the Okwara and Tillery. Tillery flushes it out. Good pressure on the first drive forces the punt.

ND needs to target that right side of the line with pressure. You saw two straight reasons why.

15 on the first play for illegal hands to the face. That happens because Mustipher was kicking Rochester's butt.

Long not shy about taking shots in this game. Good coverage on the double move by EQ

3 and 9 and the screen has nothing because they only rushed 4.

ND about to punt, but false start by Daelin.

Newsome with a bad line drive punt. Goes through the end zone. UGA gets it at the 20

Chubb gets loose. Probably not a bad idea for UGA to give that guy the ball. Bad angle by Jalen Elliott

Looked like a great play by Tranquill to break it up, but they call PI. That was a bad call IMO. Not enough to make the call.

Terry Godwin gets deep on Watkins. If he was there he could have had a chance to make a play. Surprised at hoe much they are passing to start.

UGA in the red zone. Martini did enough to keep contain, but has to say disciplined. Trips up Chubb for no gain.

Good job by Tranquill to fill vs Wildcat with Sony Michel as the QB.

3 and 7. Huge play

Try to hard count to get ND to jump. They got Michel on Tranquill and that is a tough matchup for him, but luckily ball was overthrown.

UGA settles for FG

3-3

Great coverage on the kick by UGA

ND has a long field on this drive

UGA won the battle with Atkins getting upfield to beat Bars. Loss of 1

3 and long again

ND cannot survive in these situations. Long called a run with Wimbush keeping. Should have gave to Adams. ND forced to punt

Big time tackle by Dexter Williams getting down to make the play as a gunner. No return for UGA

Pop pass to Hardman goes for 8.

Quick PA and Fromm is high on the throw

3 and 2

Huuuuuuuge tackle by Coleman. They need him to be aggressive in this game and he made the play against Michel from the Wildcat

3 and out

RPO and UGA covered it well. Roquan Smith can move. Ran down Wimbush and then got the sack on 2nd down PA attempt.

Smart by Wimbush to hold it tho

Quick 3 and out

Julian Love aided by great punt cover team makes the tackle.

ND with an awesome job stretching that first run out. Coney finishing off the play to Chubb

Nothing to Michel and 2nd down

3 and long

End of 1, thought UGA would have run more. But ND doing a pretty decent job other than that one long run to Chubb

3 and 7

Good thing that was Crawford on Hardman because he can fly. Hardman had a step, but the ball needed to be thrown perfect for him to have a shot. Incomplete

3 and out

Wimbush shorts the throw to Cam Smith. Pressure was the reason

QB sweep for Wimbush and he fumbles. Recovered by ND. Wimbush got something in his eye. Book has to come in on this 3rd down

ND can't move UGA off the ball. Think they'll have to use more misdirection to run the football.

Book on 3 and 8 and nothing there so he scrambles for a few. Another 3 and out

Newsome outkicked the coverage. Tony Jones had to make a tackle or else Hardman might have housed it.

Good field position for UGA at their 36

Bad exchange and Daelin Hayes comes up with the fumble!

The Irish are in business. Needed a break to get something going and got one

ND tried to go throw back, but UGA had it covered. Had the boot and wheel to Adams.

False start makes it 2nd and 15

Screen to Adams then hits big. Finally the right call for the right play. Middle screen and great job by Bars in space. Adams fought for extra yards and got a 15 yard facemask to boot

1 and goal inside the 5

Iso on play one and that sets up the boot for the TD by Wimbush and 2 and goal.

Just outran him the pylon

Extra point is good

10-3 ND

Another good return for Hardman. If he can, gotta get Yoon to kick that out of the end zone

UGA starting close to their own 40

Phenomenal job by Tranquill picking up the swing, beating the block and making the play

13 on 2 an 14 sets up 3 and short

Give to the fullback converts

UGA moving the ball on the ground this series. ND takes a timeout to regroup.

Gotta get some penetration and may need to bring some extra bodies on the blitz to disrupt what they are doing

1 and 10 at the ND 25

And movement causes penetration. Trumbetti and MTA got in there for TFL

Chubb was too open on the swing. Gave him room and he gets a lot

3 and 1

Again they give to the fullback and he converts easy. Bit on the fake to the tailback

and goal now. Tillery and Hayes a decent job at POA

They try to go stop route to Wims. Watkins broke it up

3 and goal at the 5

Godwin caught it out of bounds. It was close. Think they may reverse it. Got a foot in, but not sure if it's enough to overturn

Overturned. One handed it was a heck of a catch. What can you do when a guy makes a play like that?

10-10 after the extra point

CJ Sanders had a great return and looked down. They didn't blow it, he kept running and got a touchdown.

Forearm was down so should be reversed.

Smart play by Sanders to keep going, though.

Man, Roquan Smith is eating. They can't get to him at 2nd level.

Alize with a big play down the field. 32 yards

Tempo and they get 7 to Adams. He gets stuck on the 2 and 3 call after they try and go quick again. Bars missed his block

Again, Roquan Smith makes the play on Tony Jones on the PA. He's balling out.

FG attempt by Yoon form 42

Good.

13-10 Irish. Yoon looks like he's got it solved

Another pretty good return by UGA. Holyfield takes it to close to the 30

ND D-line much more stout on that run. Hayes, Bonner, Tillery...all great jobs

PA to boundary. Short gain sets up 3 and 4

Look for quick slant or back shoulder here

They actually tried a high-low concept and it took too long to develop. ND got late pressure. Ill advised throw, incomplete. Studstill with solid coverage on the tight end

Bad bounce for ND on the bad punt by UGA. Long field with about 3 minutes left

RPO and almost picked. Too far for Cam Smith. Tipped and lucky it wasn't going the other way. Could have been PI

3 and 8 after the short gain

Get Adams in space, but the coverage was good. Gain of 6. 3 and out

Newsome with better hang time, but UGA takes over at their 43

Missed that first play on the telecast, but nothing for Chubb up the middle

ND defense coming up big again. More penetration by Jay Hayes. Finished by Nyles and I missed the other player on the tackle

Tranquill with the pick! Fromm with a freshman throw that he got away with vs App State, but not in this game. bad throw and the receiver was covered. Now ND with great field position

Middle screen again and Roquan again. What a half by him.

19 seconds left

Timeout

False start. Think it might have been on Mustipher not snapping it on time, but 5 yards no matter whose fault it was

2 and 14

14 seconds left with 3 and 6 coming up

Right tackle Hainsey got beat by Lorenzo Carter affected the pass. Incomplete

Punt ends the half. UGA gets the ball back to start the half

Fromm's mistakes are why ND is leading this game. ND's defense has played pretty well overall with the exception of that one drive.

Can't run the ball at all. Need to look at some misdirection to break something open.

Going to be a tight one in the second half. Need to make some important adjustments in the second half on offense. Find ways to get the ball to EQ. The lack of options at WR is really showing. May need to take some shots at 50/50 balls if they get down, but understand why Long and ND would want to play it safe.

Yoon puts it deep into the end zone

UGA starts at the 25

Chubb wrapped up by Martini and Morgan for 3

Jay Hayes nice chase tackle to force 3rd down, but Tillery gets called for illegal hands to the face

Nice call with Watkins on the blitz. Got pressure and hit Fromm. Took a shot, but lucky it wasn't picked

Misdirection caught Daelin who needed to close the gap on zone read. Big gain for Michel

UGA goes out of FG territory on 1 and 15 now

Bonner with a good job getting penetration to trip up Michel

3 and 7

Forced to scramble. Short of the 1st. UGA sends out the FG kicker

44 yard attempt is no good!

Good job by the defense holding.

Got Adams out on the wheel on 1st down. Carter got pressure.

EQ couldn't make the catch on the back shoulder.

Wimbush getting knocked around. He's a tough kid.

Adams got lucky there wasn't a clip called on Roquan Smith.

ND forced to punt.

Ball inside the 15

Morgan with the stick on the pop pass to Hardman. Good pursuit by the Irish D

Bonner and Coney with a great job on 2nd down.

3 and about 5 coming up

Tranquill gets free on the blitz. Morgan cleans it up for the sack.

3 and out

Great field position. ND just can't sustain anything on offense. Need to get something going with this opportunity

Didn't really get that call. QB sweep has nothing.

Pressure forces an under thrown ball by Wimbush to Cam Smith.

3 and 11

ND gets bailed out with PI call. It was a PI, but it was going to be short of the sticks if completed to Smythe.

They gotta start using the tight ends because they can't win on the outside

And as I type that they throw the outside to Smith for a 1st down haha

Terrific catch by EQ on a bad throw by Wimbush.

Come back with tempo and Adams gets the first on a quick dive

They are getting so much pressure. Big Mike with a poor job reaching to edge rusher.

UGA keeps bringing the edge pressure and ND is not accounting for it. They need look at throwing the bubble.

Incomplete on 3rd down and Yoon will come out for the FG attempt

37 yards out and good

16-10 Irish

Yoon with good kick for the touchback. Great job directing it

Bonner with the sack. Busted protection by the right guard.

2 and 16

Great coverage by Love down the field on the deep ball.

3 and 16. Alert screen, alert draw

Fromm with a good job getting out of the pocket. Think it's a late hit on ND. It was Okwara. It was ticky tack IMO.

UGA gets the 1st in addition the yards on the throw. Reviewing it now. Get 15 and 15 on the catch. Checking to see if the WR was out. Don't think he was.

Ball at midfield

Love was beat by Godwin. Fromm missed him. ND extremely lucky because that was six

Bilal is in at Rover and he just has not instincts. Runs right by making the play on the jet sweep. UGA inside the 10 after a facemask call

Incomplete on the PA on 1 and goal

Next play Michel is in. Too easy on that one.

Extra point puts them up 17-16

I know they are all about the rotation on defense, but can't have Bilal in the game on that drive. Tranquill has a TFL on that jet sweep

Don't understand that.

Sanders takes it to the 23

Looked like they wanted an RPO, but Smith was blocking

Wimbush on the read is lucky to get 1

Finally ND converts on 3rd down. Strike to EQ

Facemask on Adams gets ND in UGA territory. EQ banged up but still had a big block on that play

Wimbush started that down to the field and almost threw a pick six.

UGA D-line kicking the crap out of ND's OL

3 and long again

Big time throw by Wimbush. Alize with a contested catch gets 9. ND tries to quick snap to go on 4th down. UGA forced to take a timeout when they subbed.

Adams gets the 1st on 4th and 1

Alize drops the pass. Gotta catch that after making the tough one

Lorenzo Carter with the strip sack. Adams too late getting there. Wimbush not aware. UGA ball
