What needs to be said right now?

This is the biggest one for ND in the regular season since Clemson in 2015. Would be the biggest win since FSU in '93.

Let's go

ND will go, but calls timeout first.

4th and 2

My money is on a ball to Kmet

Snapped early and Book almost saves it with a throw to Keys. Couldn't come up with it.

Bad miscue

Not much to Swift on 1st down. Solid job up front

2 and 7

Inside to Herrien sets up 3 and about 4

Rush was good, want to see Bracey break on that. ND blitzed and had pressure

Tried a pick on the outside, couldn't get the timing right

2 and goal

Heavy personnel, unbalanced PA.

Smart called a TO to prevent a TD

Book just short of the line.

3 and goal

QB sneak coming. Or not. Tried quick game, knocked down.

Here is Qb sneak on 4th down, instead it's a drop back and Kmet catches it! Touchdown Irish!

Tough run

7-7

2 and 8

Keys win the contested catch deep. Book with a big time throw

1 and 10

False start for ND in the red zone. Ugh

1 and 15

Finke on the screen gets it inside the 10, ND waited way too long to call the timeout

Now ND has one play to end zone and then has to kick it

2 and 7 inside the 10

Book doesn't see it and throws it away. The right play. Wish ND had another down

UGA called a timeout. ND was going to kick but now will go with 9 seconds left

9 seconds left and ND will go for it.

Throws a fade to McKinley. Doubled and incomplete

Now Doerer will kick from 27

It's...good

10-7 ND going into halftime

Man, what a half by the Irish. Impressive job by both coordinators. Book has played well. Tackled well. Need to create explosives and be better on 1st down in this half

Doerer boots it deep, returned to the 15. Nice coverage down the field

1 and 10

JOK missed the tackle, but Kareem cleans it up.

2 and 8

Fromm so efficient. Quick to his second read. Moves the sticks

1 and 10

Swift runs tough to get about 6

Outside for a good gain. Needed Elliott to get there quicker

1 and 10

JOK there staying home vs the end around, deep as the deepest gets the TFL

2 and 16

Incomplete. Ball bounced, but a nice attempt by Blaylock on the diving catch. I don't think there is enough to overturn it.

Call confirmed. 3 and 16

Draw gets close, but it's short. Hamilton missed the tackle.

UGA will punt

Ball bounces into the end zone for a touchback

1 and 10

Tony gets 4 on 1st down.

2 and 6

Book double clutched it. Jones was open. Not a great throw

Gotta make that catch.

UGA ball at the ND 22

Throwback to Swift on 1 and 10, he breaks a couple of tackles to get them to 2 and 2

Penalty on UGA puts them back. ND needed that

2 and 17

Hitch gets them to 3 and 11

Huge play because ND needs to hold them to 3.

FG is good

10-10

Ball kicked out of the end zone

1 and 10

Keys on the RPO gets a few

2 and 7

Book has to let it go sooner. Too slow and stared down Kmet. Almost picked

3 and 7

Timeout with clock running down

Not a bad call to get wall set up on 3rd down with Keys coming across, but short of the sticks.

Big punt coming up for Bramblett.

Good one causes a fair catch inside the 30

Illegal formation for 5 to start the drive after not having enough guys on the line for the punt formation

ND shifted late because of the formation and UGA ran it inside. No one in the gap, good gain.

1 and 10 at midfield

Too much time for Fromm, had a chance to let the corner route develop. Nice throw and completion

UGA rolling now

Going tempo

JOK down on the field. Not sure if he's selling it or not, but ND needed to kill the momentum.

2 and 5 in the red zone coming up

Wildcat got not much.

3 and 3 coming up

ND brought the house, Fromm with a big time throw under pressure. Great play by Bracy to finish through to not allow the TD

13-10 UGA after the FG

Touchback, but they are re-kicking after a holding penalty. I think I speak for everyone in saying, what?

Squibbed it to Shayne Simon and he takes it to the 26.

Then they didn't start the clock.

Weird couple of minutes there.

1 and 10

Jones gets 3. The play was to bounce it there, but he doesn't have the juice to take it outside.

2 and 7

The line did a great job on the next play. Moving people sets up 3 and short

Another false start on the silent count. 5th time this game

3 and 7

Davis in the game. ND wastes another timeout. Can't let that happen after a penalty. Gotta get on the ball. That is on the coaches

3 and 7

Empty. Finke gets it knocked out. Had it at the sticks

ND 3 and out

Another false start

Huge punt and mistake by Blaylock. Bounces inside the 20

58 yard punt

Swift for a good gain on 1st down

2 and 3

D'Andre Swift with a hurdle...what can you do against that.

1 and 10

Hinish and Hayes though Swift was stopped. Another first

UGA going tempo and Bilal goes down. Looked like it's contact issue

1 and 10

MTA with a stuff. Absolutely needed that

2 and 9

End of 3 and it looks like the ND defense will need to win this game for them.

13-10 UGA

2 and 9

I mean, that's just a big time throw and catch. Cager

Illegal touch on the next play puts UGA back 5 (TE blocked before the catch)

1 and 15

Good run gets them into 2 and 7

Ball incomplete to PIckens. Bracy with good coverage again

3 and 7

Back shoulder to Cager and he has killed ND.

Touchdown. Fromm had Hamilton in his face on the blitz and made the throw.

They are reviewing it, but don't take long.

20-10 UGA

Touchback

ND has to go vertical here. Need a big play

1 and 10

Toss for nothing

2 and 11

Crosser to Claypool gets close to the 1st

3 and 2

Jones got the 1st

1 and 10

Nice call by Long, misdirection and Tremble got lost in the secondary.

Next play ND goes flea flicker, but UGA had a bltiz on from the CB. Forced Book outside and he tried to fit it into Finke. JR Reed makes a sick play breaking on the ball for the pick.

UGA ball

They are reviewing it and it's confirmed.

UGA ball at their 34

Here comes a heavy dose of swift. Kareem got reached on 1st down

1 and 10

MTA with a key tackle

2 and 8

Fromm finds the opening on the slant

1 and 10

MTA with another stop. Seriously, without him the running game would have ended this game already

2 and 10

Another good job up front

3 and long with just under 8 to go

Generous spot. He was short, but they gave Fromm the 1st on the scramble. They are reviewing the spot.

No surprise that the dude on ND's sideline made the call. He's been bad.

Fromm was a yard short.

4th and 1

UGA is going to go for the FG

23-10 UGA

1 and 10

Claypool lit up on the slant.

2 and 10

RPO to Kmet gets them close to the 1st

3 and 1

PA to Claypool converts

1 and 10

Book has time, nothing open and he runs for about 8.

RPO and nothing there. Illegal man down field because Book didn't let it go.

2 and 7

Tried to fit it into Kmet and he was bracketed.

3 and 7

Book scrambles for the 1st

1 and 10

Deep down the seam to Kmet. Nice ball and ND inside the red zone

Too high for Claypool and Eichenberg gets called for illegal hands to the face

1 and 25, screen to Finke gets about 5

Claypool back shoulder. Where was that throw earlier? They needed to target that all day.

They are reviewing it. I think it will stand. Looked like Claypool got his foot down.

1 and goal

Touchdown to Claypool. Boxed the guy out.

23-17 UGA

ND will have a chance to go for an onside kick or get UGA to go 3 and out

Pooch goes a bit too deep, but JOK bails ND out with a tackle.

ND has to sell out to stop the run

1 and 10

Drew White huge play on the sweep. TFL

2 and 14

ND stuffs them. It will be 3 and long with 2:17 left

3 and 14

ND jumped so UGA gets a free play. Incomplete

3 and 9

Ball is incomplete to Pickens. ND will get the ball back!

Big punt coming up

He shanked it! ND will have good field position

2:00 on the clock

Complete to Tony Jones for 3

2 and 7

Out to Claypool for the 1st

1 and 10 with 1:33 to go

Book throws it away under pressure

2 and 10

1:29 left

Short to Jones gets nothing. Gambled they would blitz and they dropped

3 and 9

Book throws it away. Eyes on Claypool

4 and 9 with 58 seconds left. UGA called a timeout

4 and 9

Book had to throw it up, he spun into pressure. Just didn't feel it right. Threw it up and Claypool had two guys all over.

UGA will take a knee to finish the game

Valiant effort for ND, but coming up short yet again in a game like this.

23-17 the final. Instant reaction coming up
