#3 Notre Dame (9-0) beat Pittsburgh (4-5), 29-26 in 3 OT in South Bend. Perhaps best summed up by head coach Brian Kelly in his post-game press conference: “We overcame a lot tonight…made, uncharacteristically, some mistakes turning the football over.

October 30, 2012 by
ASU (5-3, 3-2 Pac-12) lost in a heartbreaker to UCLA (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12): 45-43 in Tempe on Saturday. A field goal as time expires can be the best way for a game to end, or the worst, depending on what team you’re rooting for. In ASU’s case, it was the worst. The loss to UCLA […]
