Austin Bullock number 99 kicking off for the Huskies back deep for the Irish Jaden Harrison who always dangerous in fact has returned multiple kickoffs back 90 yard so out he comes and wrestled down just of the 25 yd line and they'll pass on the first play R Leonard is very mobile and the pass is caught 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 and More close to the 40 yd line to about the 39 yd line going up again early on in this ball game one of the best running quarterbacks in the country prove that in his days at Duke and this is the first Carry for Jeremiah love that out of Spring ball but here he is and he felt 100% last week in the opener and Leonard on the move again dragging that big they had three defensive offsides penalties so now faced with a long situation here to the far Qui byard behind nightmares tonight dein Ford is on the right side of Leonard there he's the third down back for Notre Dame Leonard to the air pass complete for the first down and a big completion there sets him up the the 39 yd line for Northern Illinois Leonard very active and there's a good example of how second down and N that's complete and that's a first down to great house was a gain of 11 and they like to hurry things up that's been a den Brock montra through theard couldn't anybody out ofs up here in this first drive was just of the first down was a n but there is the first down picked up there by love see for sure later so first and 10 the Cadence and the tempo is quick and this is love being dragged down now behind the 10 yd line Second down and n on Notre Dame's opening drive in it's home opener Leonard with some to the line Riley Leonard the kicker now for Notre Dame R an outstanding week last week three for three in the field goal Department show that's what that guy can do he can beat you so many different ways so MCH Jeter kicking off back deep for the Huskies jayen Po and Company and that ball back into the he had to grab it between these two teams and Hampton set up out of the shotgun to try to give his husky some breathing room here and they'll go up the middle and a big there nice game it's a very experienced offensive lineup front of brown and here he is again he's got NFL against a western Illinois team that is coming off back to back and 11as here is and here's a quick hand off to Trayvon Rudolph who's another one of that defensive secondary key players for a very good Notre Dame defense second and five Looks To Thee and in the clear is brown and no one is going to catch him yard touchdown Huskies what a change of events and momentum here in South so Austin is kicking off at midi here Jaden Harrison's just going to let it sail over his head big time play by the Huskies jarian price is in the back field and Leonard hands it off to him and price with his first Carry of the game not much at all to tie it up he was slippery on that one all right Leonard out to the flat and again this is price who just had the carry and he's got here they come Leonards at 15 yd line for the Huskies to grab some little better field position than they had on their opening drive that was a big L so he feels it Dame Partridge does at the 45 yd line and they it guy that just took it 83 Y and brown around the right side for another big chunk and they it toown brown gavs back fieldon Rudolph and the side of theadi and there is the fake to Gavin Williams roll his right incomplete against West illino so this one from 42 y out and wood just drills it down the middle to give the Huskies the lead to a great start and he's trying to build a program here that can sustain itself they won the m a couple years ago he feels great about this vet team that he and they playing awfully well right now this is a good return by Jaden Harrison the transfer from Marshall in this game but Northern Illinois has changed the momentum and they have to respond Notre Dame beginning this drive at it own 37 quick drop back by Leonard scans the field and it's complete to love and love gets up to the 45 yd line for a good gain and that pass incomplete they'll show up a lot in these short y situations here he goes going to pick up the first down close to Midfield Charles Jaga was injured in the preseason so he was going to be that left tackle but out for the Year this pass is broken up the Y Line incomplete looks like it's interman looks like he got it interception for Ferman as the ball was juggled working through his progression and he tries to fit a ball in there it's manto man coverage that is got he's wide streaking Sidelines to about the 11 yd line after that opening score by the Irish and it's a playaction f for Hampton rolling to his right he was looking for Grayson bares from the IR and he keeps it a nice fake to BR and to brown brown musling Hiser one from 42 earli he's got it so Austin Bullock to kick off that is Deon Ford coming up at about the 20 to take for the Irish and he's knocked out of bound setting up at his own 29 yd line that's jarian price rolling around the right side for aain a first Price seveny Rushing touchdown last week in the big win against A&M Leonard fakes it to him and out of the outstretched arms of Chris Mitchell 60 miles away from Notre Dame they took the bus ride yesterday as this pass is complete and into husky territory another big play for the Irish little key three wide receiver transfers for Notre Dame lard showing that good Mobility escaping and making at the Husky 39 in a long third down situation third for Leonard he's able to escape it but Northern Illinois harassing him yeah so the IR to punt James renell who came over from Australia to be pter is a directional punter leading the fif rank team in the country this is a good defensive play right up the Middle with ls of and get the first down all game last week 53 yards the big touchdown reception and good grab there girlfriend helped him memorize those cards he said she probably hated me but that's the kind of dedication that he shown on second down and seven and they give it to Brown and Brown with a nice little move there gets him Y Line Gavin Williams giv Brown a blow HT the and incomplete and hon the give to Williams and Gavin Williams swarmed at the 40 yd line just pck up first down earli now on Third and fourt Swinging out INE Jordan makes himay all right so for and to First with9 remain starting from their own 30 and they begin it with love with a good game second and short Leonard pass incomplete yard line Riley Leonard sits in the pocket that pass complete for the first away from Banner on the right shoulder of Mitchell Evans big pick up and bouncing out to the outside is love who's just hammered second down to sevenard andard the left throws it out and the ball is incomplete put it right in the Bread Basket now forced a punt for the Irish and this one just short Punt and it gets a bounce for notame down to the 12 yd line H do backed up here at their own 12 and this is brown trying for more yard in toe totoe right now there's that and record that they're trying to take of this is brown bouncing his way all the way for the huskies and off looking for the first down defense stepping up and now they have an opportunity to come back before half Tom Foley the punt and waving it off as Jaden great house Leonard low snap Leonard handles it steps up pass complete all the way to the 45 yd line it yeah right over the middle first down call anding half trailing 137 nonetheless they Trail the Huskies 137 here and Leonard looking for some and just throwing it away might be able might be a know what the Call's going to be was close yeah so a huge L there Leonard going the now left side complete great holds on this time some extra stuff going on there on the sidelines Flags fly with the big penalty Leonard pass second and seven Leonard moving to his right just throws it away run up the middle and that isas Williams to bring the Irish within three and this one is blocked by Northern Illinois uhoh and now they're on the return Sidelines still on his Sanner which brings this first half to a very frustrating end for Notre Dame and take some body blows early they had some adversity they had to deal with both on offense and defense they weren't phased they've come back they've dominated since the middle of the first quarter and the Huskies to get the ball first to begin this second half and why wouldn't you give it to Brown the Notre Dame defense is right there big hit by batell for Northern Illinois second down and n and brown the left side tries to find a hole does make something and a lot more out of it wat finally ran him out but that's an indication of what brown can do pick the hole and your time and pick up 10 they don't call him slime for nothing brown with a big pick up there and play action for Hampton first pass of the second half complete arguably the best corner in the country Hampton just managing this game he's got another here by pipk to replace Watts here another first down and 10 forland Illinois and another good run there by brown brown exited with a helmet coming off and now another play action for Hampton and that pass almost intercepted and he give it to Brown and Brown is caught for a l which will bring up fourth and long before the half this thing comes out low opportunity to block it this is a 53 yd attempt got good leg it and it's just wide left something here again coach on offense Riley Leonard and Company beginning at the room 3 here and they start with J Jeremiah love maybe a couple play for the Irish on special teams yeah doing his thing again second down to seven leard over the another pass complete kind of a off center snap there but able to handle it Trophy and there's a similar skill set between those two guys that pass complete to the side to Chris Mitchell up the middle again another so they're spending time trying to get the themselves on the same page a line comes off the ball creates some space for Jeremiah love these safeties coming out of the secondary B carsel tries to go low on him Jeremiah from St Louis watching Zeke Elliot growing up hurling secondary guys got a zig's book quickness speed and explosiveness but backing catch the ball out of the back field great weapon for the Irish this is Jaylen po St Louis Missouri about to add the hurdles to his resume as well so what can Northern Illinois do in response as they set up at the 25 well you go with brown the Workhorse now his third year at Notre Dame second down and eight they give it right to Brown of the wild and brown spinning and turning his way close to the 35 yd line he's on third down and two Hampton to the Air complete first down clutch first down for Hampton of the Huskies Brown Gavin Williams and it goes right to the wild they get right his back Hees the left Gavins first yard and a keeper up the middle goes Hampton and he picks it up chip away at this ball in exactly Midfield the Huskies and another play action as let's take a wild guess about the state of Wisconsin this is Willams on second down and long response to the Notre Dame touchdown this drive at their own 25 now at the incomplete a quick kick quick Kickk the they've been unfazed they've been unfl flappable this is price looking for a not much there maybe a yard before he's those hits both running it and from the pocket they wear on you after a while second and N call Leonard goes to the air at linebacker spot Leonard plenty of building more and throwing it out of bounds PS develop good job by the Huskies getting off the field there's James just dials up a number of punts from all sorts of trajectories this one a low fire down to the 40 yd line Hampton play fake rolls to his right got lots of room and he's going to pick up the first down from Midfield clinge of the third quarter Hampton with going deep down the sidelines incomplete and they give it to Williams with brown out Williams can Flash for some good and he gets it close to the 40 yd line H to the pass caught spre gavs in the because is outry just a wrecking ball for the defense and here is Williams again and he's got a little room here's Brown back in the looking for first he is Gavin Williams in the back field with Hampton Hampton straight drop pass incomplete and Notre Dame HS showing up big time today for the Irish the Irish taking over on Downs at the 30 yd line and Leonard goes to work and he's got great house again gain of a couple second down and eight for Leonard and they'll keep it on the ground here looking and picking for a hole here just across the 35 yd line bu give his 63 yd rushing in the second half last week the field they've been out of sink throwing the ball from the pocket all day long here's the punt by renell andridge is able to F it at about the 21 reverses field and maintains his bance and down the ball is out Scramble for it inside the 30 1040 left in the game from the own 29 and just across the 30 is Williams sticks he goes in motion Hampton underneath beautiful play there for the first down there deop picking up the first down just across the 40 Williams for a couple team is so second down and call it n for the husk and at lineage the line they aot of and is tipped ine and again they're off the field Jaden great house back deep this one has nearly blocked Tom Foley's Punt and calling for a fair catch at the 25 yd line they want to see more of that right here this is theit to price and price with a big gain on the first down Leonard pitches throws it first down beautiful comp there to Bo Collins showing up again for Notre Dame Leonard able to handle the snap and this onee nice grab Again by Collins Texas couldn't do it the Huskies at Northern Illinois can't do it either keep throwing the ball five second down and one Leonard's going to pass down the middle intercepted right into the arms ofan n and n is finally wrestled down close to Midfield what a time to throw a pick Leonard with a turnover with 555 left in the fourth and leading by a point up in Midfield and on the ground is Williams and Williams SP around aftert second and off it's going to be third and thir and effort it appears is Grayson Barnes who Hampton calls a inside the 40 of Notre Dame traing by one Hampton quickly gives it noain and maybe a Los second down looks right goes left pass complete to good third manable here is manck of one complete short of the first down bring up fourth down and short a long two option here is a good choice for the Huskies and trying to get the first down himself as Hampton and it looks like he got it EXC they needed two he got him three and this drive is alive with under two minutes to go Williams again maybe a yard that's it second down and N from the Irish 27 on the ground again for another BK to the Irish 20 Northern Illinois on Third and two trying to keep this drive alive ham the hand off first Canon wood has been good from 42 he's been good from 21 he had a Miss field goal earlier from outside 53 but this is just from 35 y to give the huskys the lead snap good hold good kick good wow they didn't blink what'll kick the goahead field goal snap hold kick is [Music] clean markedly different Bullock just hits a line drive to Jaden Harrison Harrison reverses his field other way it's a good return by Harrison just across the 35 yd line with 24 seconds remaining and the Irish without one timeout left to see if Riley Leonard can produce some late game magic Jeremiah love to Leonard's right Leonard someing in theet incomplete down and big catches the Clemson transfer Leonard is looking to the left a strle thrown to Chris Mitchell remember the clock stops after a first down you can clock the ball here without losing your TI and that's exactly what Riley Leonard's going to do clocks it stops it with n seconds left looks like manto man got some pressure from the it just in 62 yards 62 yd spotted at the 48 yd line a 62 y with 5 seconds left it is down wind but this is an awful lot to ask Mitch Jeter and that's blocked at the slot of scrimmage and the Huskies are celebrating the biggest upet in their school's history they blocked two field goals today both came from Kade hberman and that provided the final nail in Notre Dame's home opener here Ethan Hampton the guy that dreamt about being the Husky quarterback dreamt about coming to South Ben said it was a business trip well he just took care of business an absolute stunner Northern Illinois coming to Notre Dame stadium and knocking off the number five team in the country we talked to the coach we talked to their players they were confident coming in can't be more impressed with how to handle the ups and downs of this ball game let's throw it down to Zora with Coach hammock
