Big bounce back game for the Irish after not a great effort against Ball State. Let's see how the team comes up and adjusts today.

Kickoff in about 30 minutes. See you then

Go Irish!

Vandy kicks off. Michael Young with the right read, but can't make the initial defender miss or else it could have been a big gain.

Toney Jones gets the start. Good read with Kraemer getting out on the pull. Nice start for the Irish on the ground

Play-action fake bubble. Wimbush takes the underneath route rather than the deep shot that was covered

Really love this opening drive. QB keep on the inside, Wimbush running when nothing is there.

ND coming out with a vengeance to start.

PI on Boykin in the end zone sets up 1 and goal

Two runs to the right side. ND again messed up with assignments with short yardage

3 and goal after a penalty pushes them back

Great job by Wimbush escaping the rush, but little late letting the ball go. Incomplete

Yoon kicks the FG

Good start for ND even if the red zone didn't go well

3-0

Nicco Fertitta comes down and lays a lick on the returner. Throw in a hold and Vandy is pinned deep

Think Shurmur wanted to take a shot on 1st down, but settled for the check down

Shurmur out of the pocket to his left, perfect throw , but WR was out of bounds. Not bad coverage by Elliott

They're reviewing it, but his right foot was out of bounds. Should be an easy confirmation

3 and 9 coming up. Interesting that Vandy came out throwing to start

Lipscomb matched up with Griffith. Advantage to Lipscomb. Converted by Vandy

Nothing going inside with heavy package. Tranquill stuffed it

2 and 8

PA to the TE Pinkney. Tranquill got caught on the run fake

Terrific job by Tranquill vs the jet sweep. Great read and better job by Gilman fighting the block

3 and 2

Vandy takes a timeout

3 and 2 near midfeld

Blitz from Coney forces the quick throw. Great job by Tranquill being all over that crosser

Vandy will punt

ND pinned deep after the punt. Ball on the Irish 6

Jones gets the edge. More outside running already this week. 1st down

Out quick on the money to Mack on 2nd down.

3 and 1

PA to the TE, Brock Wright. Book in the game. Like the call

RBs reading it so much better. ND blocking it so much better. Night and day from last week

Very poor job by Armstrong picking up the free rusher. Can't say enough how bad that looked. That was the main reason for an incompletion

Tony Jones on the wheel. Good ball by Wimbush. Wimbush has been very sharp to start this game

3 and 3

Not a great throw by Wimbush on the screen, but Finke makes a guy miss to convert

Better throw on the screen to the other side, but great job by the corner beating the Claypool block and making a tackle

Wimbush hits Finke on the crosser. Bad drop by Finke

3 and 10 in the red zone

Protected well, nothing there. No contain on the stunt by Vandy. Wimbush takes advantage and scores on the scramble

They are reviewing it to make sure he got in, but it's a first down regardless. Looks like they won't reverse it, but we'll see

And it stands

10-0 Irish after the Yoon extra point

Short kick sets up Vandy well to start this drive. Ball at the 31

12 personnel and they run a reverse. Kareem outstanding job of reading it. TFL

2 and long

Heavy set and Vaughn cuts it back to get them some yards back, but still 3 and long after they come back

10-0 at the end of the 1st Q

3 and 8

Love in the nickel

Sack by Jerry Tillery. Beat the guard clean. Ball is out, but Vandy recovers. 3 and out

1 and 15 after a penalty to start

Armstrong gets six on 1st down. ND moving people up front

Wimbush on designed run on 2nd down gets them 3 and short, but Vandy clogs up the middle with Irish going quick.

Short series. Irish give the ball back on a punt.

Big punt by Newsome and it goes into the end zone, but everyone will take it after last week

1 and 10 at the Vandy 20

Hinish gets penetration, forces a TFL

Love makes the tackle on the screen. Sets up 3 and 11

Griffith back in at nickel. Love shifted over to the trips side, though.

Didn't turn to the football, but incomplete

ND with another 3 and out

QB counter, but nothing there to left side. Good job at POA by Vandy

Kevin Austin with his first catch. Screen gets a short gain

3 and 7

Great protection. Wimbush focused on a deep ball to Young, but he was covered. Didn't like that decision. Stared that one down

Another 3 and out and another long punt through the end zone

Vandy runs power inside for 3

Coney on the blitz forces Shurmur to throw it up. Pride all over the moon ball. PBU

3 and 7

Tranquill destroys the RB on the blitz. Truck city. Shurmur throws it away while being hit by Hayes. They can't protect

Another 3 and out

Tony Jones inside hit it quick. Big yards. Great job up front. This defense is much better than Ball State's so it says a lot about the difference in play.

Jones running hard.

Right side of the line really moving people.

ND has already ran for more yards today than they did in the first two games

2 and 6 at the Vandy 16

Takes a shot to Boykin. Joejuan Williams with good coverage

3 and 6

Drop by Claypool on the crosser. A little bit behind, but he had to catch that

ND settles for a FG attempt

Yoon makes it look easy.

13-0

Through the end zone by Doerer

1 and 10 at the 25

Okwara too high on the edge. Got sealed and Vaughn with a nice run for Vandy

Money throw by Shurmur on the slant to Lipscomb. Then a quick screen outside to him. Shurmur great ball placement.

Vandy going tempo

Just outside the red zone

3 and 1

They convert. Interesting that Elston kept Ademilola and Dew-Treadway in for that play

Gilman, what a play! Rips it out just outside of the goal line. Tremendous fight by Pride to keep him out. Recovered by Love in the scramble.

Awesome! Just like that Crawford play last year vs MSU

Confirmed. ND gets the touchback

Jones is feeling it right now. Really reading it well

3 and 5

Wimbush to Finke. Nice throw. Out quick

Then he stares one down and overthrew Finke. Ugh, not great.

Get back to feeding Jones

WImbush nice read on the keep picks up the 1st

Mack with a nice contested catch on 1st down. Roughing the passer with a low hit

Ruhland in the game on this drive at RG

Drive stalled after that. Going tempo and Vandy shut it down including QB draw on 3rd down

Yoon in for a 46 yard attempt. Timeout ND as they let the clock run down

Yoon is good.

16-0 Irish with 1:15 left to go in the half

Vandy runs it inside to start. Then hits TE Pinkney for a big play. Carrying people into ND territory.

Lea not having that so he brings both ILBs. Ball knocked down

2 and 10 with 13 seconds left. Vandy hoping to get in FG range

Man, big time throw and catch by Shurmur to Pinkney. Vandy in the red zone. Coverage was good. Just a great play

Timeout with 8 seconds left. Vandy will try and get a touchdown before the half

Drop by the WR and it should have been six. Why did ND not have Kareem out for that play? Weird.

Vandy settles for FG try

Good

16-3 at the half. Vandy will receive to start the 3rd Q

Doerer with another deep kick. Looks like a different guy this week. Touchback

1 and 10 at the 25

PA to start. 17 to Lipscomb on the comeback

Pride called for holding. Negates a PBU by Love on the crosser

Bad job by Bilal. Finish that play on the screen. Attack that. Good job by Pride forcing it inside

Vandy moving the ball here. At the ND 34

Inside gets not much. They haven't had much success doing that. All Shurmur through the air. Another run inside sets up 3rd and medium

Big play for ND here

Griffith beat on the slant for six.

1 and 10 just outside of the red zone

Nothing there on the boot. Shurmur just hasn't put any plays that put them in danger so far

2 and 10

TFL after Bilal and Tranquill couldn't wrap up, but Elliott and Pride finish it

3 and long

That was a great job by Griffith. Ran with Lipscomb on the crosser. Forces the FG try from 43 yards away

Not even close

Still 16-3 Irish

Good job by Wimbush turning a loss into an incompletion

2 and 10

Wimbush inside gets 10

Tony over the right side. Great feet. Gets 9

Keep on the read by Wimbush. Great job and gets the 1st

Book into the game. An issue with Wimbush's helmet. PA, nothing open for him. Runs it out of bounds. Needed to throw it away

2 and 13

Joejuan Williams. Man, great job adjusting to the fade. Beating Boykin today

Too slow for Wimbush on the screen to Finke. Blown up.

ND will punt. Good punt, good coverage. GIlman ran it down

Vandy gets a positive run to start

2 and 4

PA and Shurmur on time for a 1st on the crosser.

Love with a great PBU on the slant. Sets up 3 and 8

Okwara called for roughing the passer. Late hit to the head. Man, Love is all over Lipscomb. Ball placement was elite. 1st down

Pride with the pick. Not a smart decision on the deep ball by Shurmur. Under thrown.

ND gets the ball back at their own 1

Sneak to get two from Wimbush

Jafar inside sets up 3 and 3

Armstrong gets two from the I. 3 and out

Would have like them to go play-action there.

Big punt, good return. Vandy inside ND territory

ND just getting smoked on PA on 1st downs. Mistake by Love and Okwara in coverage

Vandy in the red zone

1 and goal after a couple of runs. ND thinking pass and they outnumbered the Irish to the left side of the line

Wow. Huge hole up the middle and Vaughn walks in. What the heck happened there? LBs sucked out by the motion. MDT stuck on a block.

ND offense better wake up

16-10

Touchback

Nothing on the keep by Wimbush to end the 3rd Q

Boykin on the slant for a 1st.

Give to Armstrong gets nine.. Nice read there bouncing it out. Tempo inside gets the first down on next play

Bad read by Wimbush. Can't give there

2 and 10

ND in Vandy territory.

Wheel to Tony Jones. Great throw. Vandy struggles to cover the backs out of the backfield

ND in the red zone

Bad throw by Wimbush on the screen sets up 2 and 13.

Mack gets 10 back.

PA to Weishar gets just shy of the line to gain

4th and inches. They are reviewing the spot

Ruling stands. Not conclusive enough

ND will go for it

Wimbush back in the game. QB sneak. Looks like he got it. They are measuring. He got it

1 and goal. Book back in

PA to Weishar. Wide open. Touchdown

ND will go for 2 to try and be up 14

Mind boggling call. Not OPI, but they throw the flag. I was referring to the play call, though.

What were they thinking throwing the fade? No good

22-10

Doerer to the end zone. Vandy returner lets it bounce. Touchback

How about a hold call on that first run? And then on the second play? Kareem tackled on the play.

Incomplete on 2 and 8. Ball too high and Love on top of it

3 and 8

Would be a good time to bring the house. They show, but only rush 4. Pride breaks it up on the slant. Nice job

4 and 8 and Vandy will go

Shurmur has to get rid of the ball with the blitz. Bad throw, but Pride is getting called for PI

2 and 5 after the slant

This time they call Lipscomb. Pretty borderline call IMO. ND got bailed out for what should have been a touchdown. Poor job by Okwara on the edge

3 and short coming

Shurmur avoids the blitz and finds the TE. Blown coverage by ND and he breaks a tackle to score

22-17

Michael Young ignites the crowd with a big return. Gets the ball to the ND 49

Inside to Jones for 7

Gets six on the next run. He's been fantastic today

Wimbush on the designed zone run gets about 15. Then gets about 5 on 1st down

2 and 5 at Vandy 18

Jones not much. Gets about 1

3 and 4

Sweep for Wimbush gets 3

Yoon in for the field goal attempt

He missed it.

ND should get after it on this series. Pressure, pressure, pressure

Vandy already at midfield. PA to Pinkney

Tranquill with a key stop on 1st down.

2 and 10

Love tried to go for jam and missed. Shurmur missed Lipscomb for a big play

3 and 10

Kareem good pressure forces Shurmur outside. Hayes needed to contain. Could have been a hold.

Mason losing it about an earlier call. Not the smartest time to do it before the play of the game

4 and 10

Love in at nickel. Vaughn in and he held the WR. Just a dumb mistake. Ball was nowhere near it

3 and medium coming up after a couple of runs with less than 90 seconds to go. Pride with the PBU on the slant

4 and 4

Incomplete to Lipscomb. Elliott with good coverage. Would have been a heck of a catch.

ND ball

Jones up the middle gets about 4. TO Vandy

2 and 6

Another run inside and timeout with 58 seconds to go. 3 and 3 coming up

Tried a boot. Vandy read it.

ND will call a timeout with 12 seconds left and punt

Huge punt by Newsome! 63 yards. Made up for last week alone with that one

Fair catch with 5 seconds left

Unless it's a miracle lateral, game over

Not happening.

ND 22-17

Closer than you'd like, but they get the win. Instant reaction coming up
