Welp, MTA and Drew White out due to illness (non-Covid).

Looks like Brennan Armstrong will be out too.

OMG what a run by Kyren to keep his feet and convert on 3 and short

Coan was looking for Mayer, not there and Coan pressured. Nice job making the blitzer miss and getting a couple. Not something we have seen a lot of from him

Jet sweep from Tyree gets it to 3 and medium

PA and Styles caught it, but slipped on the out. ND going on 4th. Sneaked it and it looked short

Great design by Rees with Lenzy motioning across and the throw behind the LOS. WRs could block in front. He goes over the top for a TD

ND football

ND with the ball with 1:16 left

Give to Tyree for 5 and then the first on the next play

Took a shot to Henry to start the half. Henderson running with him stride for stride

2 and 10

ND drops 8 and tough catch, can't bring it in

Miscommunication sets up 3 and 10

Sack by Bauer. Freeman brought the house. Big play forces a field goal attempt

44 yards is no good

Holding on Mayer takes back a good Kyren run to start the drive

1 and 19

Coan probably needed to throw that away. Kind of forced it to Austin when he was covered. Ball too long. Picked off.

UVA ball at their own 40

Botelho and Henderson tackled Billy Kemp on the first play of the drive and he is down. One of their more productive WRs

Clarence Lewis ripped the ball out and he recovers. ND ball, but it is being reviewed. Looked like the runner was down. And he was. Still UVA ball

4 and 5

Rylie Mills with the sack. Another great stop for the ND defense

Got Austin one on one and Austin beat the press. Great catch out in front. Nice ball by Coan

28-0 ND

ND out with nickel to start this drive.

Kollie and X Watts continuing to get PT

End of the 3rd Q with UVA at their own 45

2 and 4 when they come back for the 4th

Big play for UVA to start the 4th. Thompson finally got loose after the catch. Got the ball to the ND 27

Thompson with a great catch on the move to get them to the red zone on the next play

Kollie...need to see more from him. He looks unsure of himself on every snap to me

I write that and then he gets a nice hit on the next snap. Reverse jinx worked there

3 and 7

Another sack for ND. Again brought the house Mills and Bauer forced the QB to step up. Justin A cleans it up

UVA takes the FG instead of going for the long 4th down attempt

28-3 ND

Fumble on the exchange by Buchner to Diggs. UVA ball. Too bad. A really great drive before that

About 8 minutes to go

Sack by Clarence Lewis on the blitz from the boundary on 2nd down makes it 3 and 10

Pryor great job on the TE knocking the ball away. 3 and out for UVA

Mitchell Evans had a nice run after the catch on this drive where ND is killing clock.

They end up getting stopped on 4 and 1 in UVA territory, but less than 4 minutes to go and this game is over

Rylie Mills gets his second sack of the day on 3rd and long.

Woolfolk made a nice throw to Thompson to convert on 4 and 12, but less than a minute to go

Brown with a pick to end it. Off the finger tips of Thompson

ND will take a knee and end this
