Early on, ND forced the UCLA starting quarterback out of the game with a knee injury.

Brandon Walker just tied the game 6-6 with a field-goal that hit the goalpost and went through.

By the way, the oddsmakers had us losing this game by 22.5 points. I had projected a somewhat smaller loss, somewhere between 10 and 14, based mostly on a much better performance against Purdue than anywhere else.

Our special teams are foaming-at-the-mouth rabid this game. A punt put the ball on the ten yard line and special teams kept UCLA from moving the ball very much. NEXT play. UCLA moves the ball 3 yards and then, maybe fumbles the ball. They’re challenging the play now. My impression is that it’s a ND ball. Not that I’m biased or anything. :)

YES! ND has it. 31 yards to go.

Aww. Too bad. ND ended up punting, but it’s on their 2 yard line.

GOAL! Another interception. We are real close. Again!

TOUCHDOWN BABY! Clausen goes for the goal! 13-6 after the extra point.

GOAL GOAL GOAL! Another fumble for them, we turn it into another touchdown. 20-6 after the point.

Aww. They just scored a touchdown on a monster pass play. Wait, no. Flag called at the 45, on the offense. :)

End score: 20-6. They ended up doubling our offensive output (300 total yards to 150) but gave up something outlandish like 6 turnovers.

Claussen had a really slow game, 17 of 27 passes for 84 yards, with no aerial touchdowns and no interceptions.

At around 10 pm, I did a Google search for ‘UCLA Notre Dame.’ Look at the one starting No. 10. Suffice it to say that for a few moments I thought we had won.

UPDATE: We did!  Score. 

Yeah, screw you, Google.
