7 to 0 Cal at the start of the 2nd quarter.

ND looks bad so far.

ND missed a FG but Cal was offsides and then ND scored on the next play on a pass right down the middle.

7 to 7 and we have a game!

10 to 7 Cal at the half.

I thought ND only broke out the green unis in big games, but at 0-2 maybe this is a big game.

I don't like the black numbers on them.

ND is inside the 5 after a targeting call. 

ND 14 Cal 10

9 minutes left in the 3rd.

Cal 17 ND 14

4 minutes left in the 3rd.

And I am going to go outside for awhile so...

Michael Mayer came through with the game winning TD.

Notre Dame 24 Cal 17

Final.

Marcus Freeman finally gets his first win as ND head coach. Good for him.

Coach Freeman earned it.

Was there ever an explanation on that offsides?   No one was lined up offsides and no one jumped.  No idea who saw what and decided to toss a flag.

I am not sure.  There was another call too that really helped ND but my memory is foggy on it because I accept those things and move on.

Today was the best I've seen Jacob Lacey play in an Irish uniform. Shades of his days dominating for South Warren.

I didn't see the game, but based off this picture don't see how you can tell whether or not it was offsides.  Doesn't look like anyone lined up offsides but perhaps someone jumped off before the ball was snapped.  Also I only see 10 Cal defenders.  No idea why someone out of frame would have lined up offsides, but from the photo we have no idea where the 11th defender was.
