[Applause] [Music] [Applause] who's always dangerous in fact has return multiple kickoffs back 90 yds plus so out he comes and wrestled down just short of the 25 yd line for a return of 20 and that's where formation and you'll see a lot more empty formations especially been watching Notre Dame Through The Years this is a designed play for Leonard to pick up the first down and he does in more close to the 40 yd line to about the 39 yd line where Santana Banner finally brings Spring ball but here he is and he felt 100% last week in the opener and Leonard on the move again dragging that big 6'4 216 lb body in there for another first down and a gain of five Leonard there he's the third down back from Notre Dame Leonard to the air pass complete for the first down to Mitchell Evans Leonard second down and nine that's complete and that's a first down to great house so it's a good mix of plays here in this opening Series by Den Brock and not showing up here on this first drive was just short of the first down was a get a nine but there is the first down picked up there by love Jake Gasaway on the Stop and out after a gain of seven by love second down and nine on Notre Dame's opening drive and it's home opener Leonard with some room to the goal line touchdown Riley Leonard he was known as a puller not many centers pull Kelsey did and this center for Notre Dame Ashton Craig does too they pull the tackle Wagner they pull the center and big Riley Leonard his feet have been the story early on in this ball game get him behind it the kicker now for Notre Dame run an outstanding week last week three for three in the field goal Department bolts it through there heab but that was against a western Illinois team that was coming off backto back 0 and 11 Seasons so here is Hampton on the Run not real fast doesn't have a lot of Mobility so he's up ended there by Kingston vamu ASA one a very good Notre Dame defense on second and five Hampton looks to the air pass complete and in the clear is brown and no one is going to catch him 83 yards stands in that pocket with people all around him they go to an empty set Howard cross wins Riley Mills wins up front Riley Mills gets his hand in Hampton's face Hampton stands in there and throws a strike and Tero Brown an outstanding Runner they motion him to empty he runs a little posed Hampton stands in here throws into traffic somehow Brown gets it comes out the other end what a change of events and momentum here in South Ben Bon Woodle knocks through the extra point and [Applause] just here they come and it stands in and down he goes sacked at the 15 yd line all sorts of pressure Devonte omali leading The Surge and they give it to the guy that just took it 83 yds and brown around the right side for another big chunk and Terio Brown finally shoved out of bounds by Xavier Watts this Northern Illinois they've got third down and eight and the Notre Dame fans letting him hear in on this side of the stadium and there is the fake to Gavin Williams half rolling into his right incomplete and that'll bring up fourth down love the call love the decision at the end of in the win against Western Illinois so this one from 42 yds out and Woodle just drills it down the middle to give the Husky the lead with 213 remaining in the first quarter Northern Illinois up on the fifth rank fighting Irish and the home opener they show up a lot in these short yard situations here he goes Leonard's going to pick up the first down close to Midfield Furman brought him down but Notre Dame keeps the drive rolling after a gain of four by Leonard Charles jagus saww was injured in the preseason so he was going to be that left tackle but out for the Year this pass is broken up at the 45 yd line incomplete looks like it's interception looks like he got it interception for firman as the ball was juggled so a big turnover goes hammock in the huskys [Applause] way pretty good protection for Riley Leonard that is got him H and he's got another wide open Brown streaking down the sidelines to about the 11 yd line wats finally chased him down after you saw him catch the slant for Touchdown now he's coming out of the back field you fake the fly sweep Drake Bon re reacts to the fly sweep Brown slips up the sidelines they scored a touchdown last week against Western Illinois with a similar type play they threw it to the tight end this time they get their best player andario Brown remember three points are big and it give it to brown brown musling his way just about deep inside the 5 yd line RJ oen the Duke transfer in on the ster and this will be a 21 yd attempt for wood who bang through a much longer one from 42 earlier and he's got it so he's got his second field goal of the game and Northern Illinois stretches its lead out to third the fifth ranked team in the country dacal Illinois is just 160 Mi away from Notre Dame they took the bus ride yesterday as this pass is complete and into husky territory goes Bo Collins now puts Notre Dame in a long third down situation lost of two third and 10 big pressure coming for Leonard he's able to escape it but Northern Illinois harassing him he does get it inside the 40 but that'll bring up fourth and [Music] long up here and right up the Middle with lots of room and should get the first down before Benjamin Morrison brought him down and they give it to Brown and Brown with a nice little move there gets himself just enough room to pick up the first down the great state of Wisconsin just picked up a first down earlier now on third and four Hampton swinging it out incomplete and a good play there by Jordan Clark the transfer from Arizona State Riley Mills applied the pressure on [Applause] Hampton instead he gives it to love who's got lots of room on the left side and streaking down the sidelines before he's finally run out of bounds by Cyrus gell to get a positive play here brings it back to the 35 yd l Riley Leonard sits in the pocket that pass complete for the first down and it's Mitch Evans again his second catch of the day after 328 left in the opening half Notre Dame trying to put something together [Applause] here Leonard's got pressure on the left throws it out and the ball is incomplete it was juggled by Jaden greous for the Huskies and they hand it off looking for the first down it's going to be close not sure if he got it think he's short he might be short brown by this Notre Dame defense stepping up and now they have an opportunity to come back before half Tom Foley the punt and waving it off as Jaden greous and the ball clock running to 120 love it yeah right over the middle first down call and the clock stops with 109 Deon Forge lost there and Leonard going to the air now left side complete great house holds on this time some extra stuff going on there on the sidelines Flags fly after play personal foul late hit defense wow 15 yd penalty automatic first down yeah maybe it was [Applause] that we run up the middle and that is anas Williams Christian Ferman on the stop just one of two 46 yarders he had last week he's a transfer from South Carolina took one visit in the portal and said Notre Dame is the place this from 48 yards to bring the Irish within three and this one is blocked by Northern Illinois uhoh and now they're on the return down the sidelines still on his feet is Santana Banner which brings this first half to a very frustrating end for Notre Dame the longer the kick the lower the kick snap hold is clean excellent push inside hard to tell who got it got the big paw up there and hammock Who's down a lot of running up and down the sidelines very into this game first thing they had to do with both on offense and defense they weren phased they've come back they've dominated since the middle of the first quarter and the Huskies to get the ball first and the fair catch called back there second down and nine and brown around the left side tries to find a hole does make something and a lot more out of it wats finally ran him out but that's an indication of what brown can do pick the hole and bide your time and pick up 10 slime for nothing brown with a big pickup there and play action for Hampton first pass of the second half complete to cam Thompson and that is just the third completion today for Hampton will be the best corner in the country Hampton just managing this game he's got another pass complete and a big game here by kesan Pipkin Pipkin with his first reception of the day and he'll give it to Brown and Brown is caught for a loss which will bring up fourth of the long Joshua burnam the red shirt sophomore from Traverse City Michigan hours before the half this thing comes out low opportunity to block it this is a 53 yd attempt riddles got good leg into it and it's just wide left so a big and he's long a big play for the Irish on special teams yeah doing his thing again second down to seven Leonard over the middle another pass complete this one to great house and that is great House's fourth reception of the game no doubt and and then Brock had Jaden danels at LSU last year won the Heisman Trophy and there's a similar skill set between those two guys that pass complete to The Far Side to Chris Mitchell who Leonard so they're spending time trying to get themselves on the same page they call up the Met L hurdles W and now gets to the end zone what a [Applause] run and take it to the house hey it starts up front this offensive line comes off the ball creates some space for Jeremiah love these safeties coming out of the secondary B carel tries to go low on him Jeremiah Love from St Louis watching Zeke Elliott growing up hurdling secondary guys out of pain a zig's book down and two Hampton to the Air complete first down clutch first down for Hampton and the Huskies to Tristan Tavis Hampton back under Center here and he goes on the left side there to Gavin Williams and Williams close to the first down I've just been impressed with the mentality of this husky third and short less than a yard and the keeper up the middle goes Hampton and he picks it up again we touched on this offensive line try to keep this thing alive I'd anticipate some pressure and some man coverage from Al golden pretty good response to the Notre Dame touchdown this drive beginning at their own 25 now at the Notre Dame 41 here comes the Blitz the pressure hon handles it incomplete and a good play there on Dane part erer at that line L backer spot Leonard plenty of time building more time and throwing it out of bounds fourth the biggest upset in their school's history Hampton play fake rolls to his right got lots of room and he's going to pick up the first down Hampton with a key run brought ball at their own 49 yard line to start this fourth quarter down by one hampt to the air pass caught good grab by Grayson Barnes and here's Brown back in the game looking for first down yardage he is short and that'll bring up fourth down and maybe a yard Osberry very active again it's a big decision for Thomas hammock the Gavin Williams in the back field with Hampton Hampton straight drop back pass incomplete and Notre Dame holds and guess who yep the job done and leard was the guy making those plays now the Bullock give his 63 yds rushing in the second half last week at college station this one a little bit out of sink out there with great house second and six he goes in motion Hampton underneath beautiful play there for the first down picked up by demopoulos J will bring up third down at five get ready for heat get ready for pressure Notre Dame showing six man up on the line they bring four ht's got not a lot of time and that ball is tipped incomplete and that was Morrison getting a hand on it the quarterback designed quarterback runs can help him on this drive Leonard pitches once throws it first down beautiful completion there to Bo Collins the Huskies at Northern Illinois can't do it either keeps throwing the ball to five second down and one Leonard's going to pass down the middle intercepted right into the arms of amarian knon and Knighton is finally wrestled down close to Midfield what a tough Notre Dame had them on their heels he tries to take a shot he gets a little greedy and the Huskies make him pay Leonard with a turnover with 555 to go down the field and go ahead here at crunch time husky 5 of 13 and third down conversions today need one now on Third and short Hampton hands it off and getting the first down on the second second effort it appears is great up the field is Partridge third manageable here Captain is managing a heck of a ball game this one complete short of the first down they'll bring up fourth down and short and a huge decision huge decision two run pass option here is a good choice for the Huskies and trying to get the first down himself as half and it looks like he got it not by much but Ethan Hampton does it keep this drive alive hammock the handoff first [Applause] down it's close body gets across they pull the backside guard backside fullback backside tight end there's a surge hard to tell if a knee went down early before he got across always is where is the ball when the knee goes down and this might give us a better look at where the ball actually [Applause] is needed to get down there to the 18 they've got it the goal earlier from outside 53 but this is just from 35 yds to give the Huskies the lead snap good hold good kick good wow and with 31 seconds left in the short yard situation they didn't blink what'll kick the go-ahead field goal snap hold kick is [Music] clean and we mentioned how the kicking unit had some problems last week early in the game and just transfer Leonard was looking at the left pass complete a stru thrown to Chris Mitchell remember the clock stops after first down you can clock the ball here without losing your time and that's [Applause] exactly Leonard's got some pressure from the backside gets rid of it just in time looking for Mitchell Levens but Leonard found wind but this is an awful lot to ask Mitch Jer and that's blocked at the SL a scrimmage and of this ball game was
