>> todd: he comes up short, but again, brian kelly's team has enjoyed the luxury of field position advantage this whole second half. he wanted the first down there, but knows he still has a chance to pin texas back and maintain the field position edge. >> joe: so, the guy they call savage, out to punt away here. see if he can flip this field. tyler newsome, as jacorey warrick awaits. >> todd: bad kick. >> joe: that was an umbrella punt off to the side. and texas will have decent field position here as it's out close to the 32. so, we pose the question. can the young guy, the true freshman, bring texas back now?

>> joe: great night to be with us, abc primetime college football, presented by capital one. joe tessitore, todd blackledge, holly rowe with you in austin, texas. the stage is now set for shane buechele, the freshman quarterback for texas. as he keeps it. spins. and has a first down to start this drive with over 5:00 to play, trailing by four. >> todd: the first time they've run that play with him, with the option to keep, and it gets them out near the 50 yard line. so, a good start to this drive. you have plenty of time, and two time-outs. >> joe: quickly gets it out to burt. texas, 75-0 when leading by 17
8:04 pm
but the irish have come all the way back, thanks to deshone kizer. 75-0 in a span of 12 years when they're up by the margin they were in the third quarter. second and five. jacorey warrick, a quick guy, has a 15-yard reception, and here come the horns. >> todd: notre dame was coming with an outside blitz, they brought a love. and buechele saw it, threw right to the voided area. >> joe: with time, and a reception to foreman. >> todd: this is a great start. and look at buechele's eyes. there's calmness in his eyes. i like what i see out of him right now, as he's marching his team down the field. >> joe: foreman. trying to keep his balance, and
8:05 pm
just plows ahead for another first down for the horns. >> todd: see, now, you notice, texas, with this momentum, they're not going as fast, because they want to use some clock as well. >> joe: buechele. was that intercepted? >> todd: no, they're saying incomplete. >> joe: luke made a heck of a >> referee: the call on the field, incomplete pass. second down. >> joe: they're going to take a second look. but called incomplete. >> todd: the ball bounces back up to him. >> joe: buechele threw it to the inside, and gave luke a chance. and now, a second chance for this texas offense.
8:06 pm
>> referee: time-out, notre dame. second time-out. notre dame wants to challenge the previous play, where the ball was a catch. >> joe: they're not going to like the result of that challenge. >> todd: bill, i'm assuming that the same rules a defender as a wide receiver on whether a catch is a catch, correct? >> a catch is a catch. you need to control the ball, be inbounds, survive the hit, survive the ground. >> referee: the ruling on the field is confirmed, incomplete pass. >> good call by the officials, good call by replay. >> todd: and new life for shane
8:07 pm
they need a touchdown. >> referee: notre dame is charged with their second time-out of the second half. >> joe: had the challenge been successful, that wouldn't be the case with the time-out. but that leaves them with one. 3:55 to play. they smashed the longhorns last year, it's been a back and forth brawl all night long. >> todd: and texas has answered the one question, are they going to be more competitive this year. absolutely. >> joe: foreman, good block, inside the 20. it will be third down from there, after a gain of five. sebastian with the tackle. >> todd: the next question, do they have what it takes to find a way to win a game like this? they've played well, played well enough to win in a lot of ways.
8:08 pm
>> joe: third down.
8:09 pm
blocked. the extra point blocked. it can be returned. are you kidding me? shaun crawford, oh, my! a flag is down. we will check on that. >> todd: i think it was rochell who got his hand on the football. that time, he was in the backfield against the kick. >> referee: during the return, sideline interference against the texas bench. 15-yard penalty will be enforced
8:10 pm
the two points stay in. >> joe: in one of the oddest ways you can ever dream up to tie a game, it just happened. welcome back, college football. give me more. shaun crawford, incredible return off this blocked extra point. >> todd: kick was low. crawford picks it up, on the hop. and the interference on the texas bench, this play was running down the notre dame sideline. so, all i can think in the way of an official running down the field, and made contact. there's the block. and it bounces right up to crawford. rochell was in there, and jones, number 94, both of those guys had penetration. i think it might have been jones who got his hand on it.
8:11 pm
able to get it. >> todd: and the penalty ensures that notre dame should be able to force a long field situation for the texas offense. >> joe: can you believe how we've arrived at 37-37, todd? of all the ways you can dream it up. try to come up with that one. and there was confusion prior to the snap there. >> todd: well, the official looks at the clock, and then looks to the ball. if the ball is moving when it hits zero, they don't make a call. holly? >> holly: when they were getting ready to line up, williams, the offensive tackle -- had to find him and get him out there late.
8:12 pm
because williams was late getting there. >> todd: really costly penalty, as notre dame is going to get good field position. >> joe: fields it from the 11. and gets it out near the 29 yard line. 3:23 to play in an outrageously entertaining game here in austin. and i don't think that young man is fazed at all. he has been awesome, deshone kizer. four touchdown passes and a touchdown run for the irish. brought them all the way back. then texas came back. then special teams wackiness has
8:13 pm
folston, wrapped up. spun. and a minimum gain as jefferson gets to him. >> todd: notre dame in the last possession defensively had to use a time-out. there was some confusion, so they used their second time-out. right now, with 3:00 left in the game, they only have one time-out left. >> joe: the cost them the time-out. under 3:00 to play. play action. kizer. he's going to go down. that was p.j. locke coming in from that nickel spot. third sack of the night for texas. >> todd: it was play action away, and p.j. locke is coming unblocked to the outside.
8:14 pm
until too late. they fooled kizer with the outside pressure. >> joe: this is a wall of sound. take it in. third and 12. conservative. and they'll be punting. as we're under 2:00. >> referee: time-out, texas. their second time-out in the second half. >> joe: so, texas wisely uses the time-out. holds on to one. they'll be getting the ball back, 1:56 remains. "monday night football" is coming back with a good one. the double-header of week one.
8:15 pm
eastern, then 10:15 p.m., niners and rams. and "monday night countdown," 5:00 p.m. eastern on espn. >> todd: how interesting is it, for texas on this possession, it could come down to a field goal attempt by a kicker that they had no idea they were even going to have. they thought kicking was going to be a major problem, of nowhere, they end up with domingue, a graduate transfer from lsu, and he may have a chance to win the biggest game in a long time. >> joe: let's see if he gets that chance. newsome to punt. warrick on his 30. calls for the fair catch around the 32. plenty of time.
8:16 pm
and confidence of shane buechele. they put together a nice-looking drive last time out. but the blocked p.a.t. and the return by crawford has charlie strong sitting there, staring at 37-37. can the new kid in town do it? let's find out. they're going to start on the ground with foreman, who gets to the edge, and rips off a pretty good one. he's out to the 48 yard line, 15 yards on first down. >> todd: 123 yards on the night
8:17 pm
>> joe: they're going to stay with him. as he crosses midfield, a gain of four. martini able to corral him. and we got 90 seconds remaining in regulation in this thriller. will domingue get his chance? he was set to be the starter at lsu. les says, i'm going to need that scholarship, got to be a walk-on. he said, no thanks. buechele, weaving his way inside the 35. >> todd: he wanted to throw it, tucked it, went straight up the field for a big first down. >> joe: domingue's career long is 45 yards. so, they have some work to do to make him comfortable.
8:18 pm
>> referee: chop block. number 77. on the offense. 15-yard penalty. repeat first down. >> todd: very costly penalty, because they were moving closer to field goal range. and now, they're outside of it, with just under 1:00 left to play. patrick vahe, number 77. >> joe: they're bringing the ball back to the 49 yard line. one time-out remains, but it's
8:19 pm
of a sudden, is going in the wrong direction, todd. >> todd: now, at this point, if you're charlie strong, you got to think, do i start thinking about overtime now, or do i take one more big shot here? >> joe: clock is counting down. half a minute in regulation. play action. buechele. takingis away. so, a couple times tonight, it's been the freshman center, off the mark. freshman quarterback for the most part, has been right on that target. >> todd: that chop block penalty took the wind out of their sails. they were moving, they had momentum, now they've been going
8:20 pm
>> joe: buechele. downfield he goes, complete! now they're saying he's out. >> referee: ruling on the field, incomplete pass. fourth down. >> joe: armanti foreman tried to tiptoe the sidelines. that sideline, blocking our view from up here. nobody is back for notre dame. >> todd: they're in a safe punt formation.
8:21 pm
seven ticks will remain. do you enjoy being back to work, my friend? >> todd: yeah, this is pretty fun. >> joe: that kid is pretty fun to watch, isn't he? kizer has been something in this second half. who's up for overtime? don't go anywhere. join in the fun for a little longer. down here in austin, texas.
8:22 pm
continue after this message and a word from our abc stations. ms on stuff you bought from that airline? let me show you something better. the capital one venture card. with venture, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase... not just...(dismissively) airline purchases. every purchase. everywhere. every day. no really! double miles on all of them!
8:23 pm
8:24 pm
>> joe: oh, what a night down here in austin. number trailed by 17, rallied back, texas answered. and then, one of the oddest plays you'll ever see. an extra point blocked and returned for a two-point conversion to get us to overtime. >> referee: each team will get possession in overtime. notre dame has used their challenge, so they don't have a challenge.
8:25 pm
time-out. if we go to a third overtime, and you score a touchdown, you have to go for two. the winner of the toss will have the option of offense, defense, or the end of the field. notre dame, what do you call? >> tails. >> it is tails. notre dame, you won the toss. >> offense, defense, or end of the field? >> defense. >> they want defense. which end of the field do you want turn your back, back here. texas will have the first possession, first and ten at the 25. >> joe: so, coin toss advantage, notre dame. they'll know exactly what they have to do in the first overtime. what a weekend of college football, my partner. >> todd: this is great. and a couple of kicking mistakes, either team thinking, we could have won this game.
8:26 pm
and both teams in the overtime have what it takes, because they've had good run and pass balance. i don't just favor kizer because he's a little older. i think buechele has played above his years. plus, texas has the 18-wheeler package that may come into effect in the red zone. >> joe: that's a great point. the shortened field, they've had succes w field. we'll see if that's what we get at some point here. how deep into the night will we go? buechele to pass on first down. gets complete to warrick, who gets free, and is just tripped up, but it's going to be first and goal, texas, a 20-yard pitch and catch.
8:27 pm
eludes the one defender, almost takes it into the end zone on the first play. >> joe: great start for buechele. foreman was met, tried to bounce free. but onwualu and martini bring him to the ground. >> todd: here comes swoopes. nope, i thought they were going to bring him in. he was moving up gilbert, but they changed their mind. second and goal. >> joe: freshman quarterback inside the 5, taken down by rochell. as shane buechele, such a big moment. here comes that 18-wheeler. you hear the crowd. with the swoopes call.
8:28 pm
little freshmen coming out. loaded backfield, with a whole lot of heavies. >> todd: notre dame trying to run a guy on late. >> joe: play clock down to five. third and goal. swoopes. into the end zone! touchdown, texas! >> todd: it's a counterplay. swoops swoopes is going to get in behind the guards. a 250-pound quarterback, and
8:29 pm
well here on this extra point. >> todd: remember last time, it was rochell with the penetration, and jones, number 94, got his hand on the football. they're right there in the middle. >> joe: up and through. so, a touchdown margin notre dame has to match. reminder, we tuned for the ford wrap-up after this thriller. look at that bounce in that step. he has that giddy-up. natural born winner, shane buechele. and tyrone swoopes has played
8:30 pm
>> todd: he has. and i'm impressed with his maturity, handling this situation, a young freshman quarterback starting ahead of him. and being ready to play and play his role well when his number was called. >> joe: but the irish, the whole second half, their offense has found a way. kizer, trying to set up the screen. sanders, inside the 10. oh, we may have a second overtime if an extra point can go in here! >> todd: kizer had to double-clutch this. wasn't able to throw it when he first wanted to. starts to throw, pulls it back down, and reloads. good execution, as the linemen got downfield.
8:31 pm
the point of attack. >> joe: now, for a second overtime. >> todd: the texas defense will be right back on the field. >> joe: 44-44. they'll turn it right around. head back out there. a lot of folks had a sense that this was the most improved team in college football, texas. and everybody knew that notre dame was loaded with blossoming talent to go with some capable veterans, and a true playoff contender. and it has been a brilliant matchup here in austin.
8:32 pm
made the point, texas has already proven that they're a different team. they're more competitive, they're going to be a player in the big 12 this year. now, the question is, can they find a way to win a game like this? it's right there for their taking. obviously, notre dame is not going to give it to them. do they have what it takes to find a way to win a game of this magnitude? >> joe: and can charlie strong's deshone kizer, who has five touchdown passes and one rushing, a six-touchdown night after weeks of hearing nothing but two quarterback system. you won't be hearing that any longer. there's your man, right there.
8:33 pm
speed option, right. keeps. met, forward to the 20 yard line. a gain of five. malik zaire looks on. notre dame faithful hope that kizer keeps moving on here. in our second overtime. adams, wrapped up by paul boyette. >> todd: boyette just slipped around the block at the left guard. there was a guy assigned to him. nelson just whiffed. and boyette, with quickness, got
8:34 pm
yardage play. >> joe: third and seven. overthrown, as they try to come across to kevin stepherson. >> todd: i think it was jefferson, came right into the throwing view of deshone kizer on that throw. the ball sailed over the intended receiver, jefferson affected the throw with his body. >> joe: so now, the field goal attempt by justin yoon. had one blocked earlier, was
8:35 pm
freshman season. and justin puts it through. nice and smooth. but will a three-point lead hold up in double overtime? it's been a long time since history for a young one has been made here in texas. a true freshman hasn't won a game starting at quarterback for the longhorns going back to '44. but now, that opportunity exists for shane buechele. >> todd: and remember, this
8:36 pm
briles baylor offense, a power run and vertical pass game. >> joe: low snap. able to get it off. as foreman makes his way just short of the 20. shackelford has to be steady. has had a few errant snaps. second and five. here goes shane. trying to pull the defender forward. yard. as sterlin gilbert -- >> todd: the crowd is calling for swoopes before he came running on the field. >> joe: 102,000 offensive coordinators here tonight. so, the 18-wheeler package comes
8:37 pm
here goes swoopes. easily stood up to it. inside the 10, fighting his way down to the 6 yard line. first and goal, horns. >> todd: there are notre dame bodies on the ground, and just swoopes running with great power and authority. remember, fresh legs, too. he hasn't played as many snaps as buechele or and he is fresh running the football. >> joe: he has 50 pounds on sebastian, and sebastian is still down. this has been a brilliant change-up at times from gilbert. every so often, when you're feeling it, here comes the 18-wheeler. >> todd: remember, sebastian is playing in there because one of
8:38 pm
and was actually dismissed from the team, redfield, was the starting safety. he's probably the guy they miss the most during that situation. avery sebastian, in there, playing a sixth-year guy out of georgia. down right now. so, they'll be down to another young safety, i'm guessing it will be another freshman. >> joe: so, the medical staff assessing avery sebastian. we've seen a lot of college football, sixth-year senior, a grad transfer from cal.
8:39 pm
return. texas with a chance here in double overtime. [monster noises] ? take on any road with intuitive all-wheel drive. the nissan rogue, murano and pathfinder now get 0% apr for 72 months, plus $500 bonus cash. ? it's peyton. ? ? it's peyton on sunday mornings. ? e-man! what up, peyt. you know i have directv nfl sunday ticket. i get every game, every sunday. all in hd. yeah. i know that. so you wanna come over? i'll make nachos! i can't right now man. i'm playing. oh yeah. alright. i'll pencil you in for tuesday.
8:40 pm
>> joe: avery, able to walk off the field here. look at what happened on the back end of this play, beyond swoopes coming at him. >> todd: he gets leg-whipped by his own guy, tillery, the 6'5", 310-pound tackle. good to see him up and walking to the sideline. i think you keep swoopes in right now. because you still have foreman as a running option. if the quarterback runs, foreman becomes an extra blocker, as he has been most of the time swoopes has been in the ball game. >> joe: a touchdown wins it for
8:41 pm
good play by rochell. >> todd: you have to get penetration behind the line of scrimmage and stop swoopes or foreman. or warren, for that matter, before they get a full head of steam. they're too big and powerful if they get their shoulders turned upfield and get some momentum behind them. >> joe: swoopes. dancing.
8:42 pm
>> referee: the previous play is und under further review. >> todd: tillery comes unblocked, swoopes sidesteps him, and reaches the ball across the plane before the touches. incredible individual effort by tyrone swoopes. first to elude an unblocked man, and then to get the ball across the goal line. >> referee: after the review, the ruling on the field confirmed. touchdown, game over. >> joe: let that be a lesson to every young man looking for playing time. that's a senior, buying in, still contributing with a
8:43 pm
team chemistry, changes, everybody buying in, it has to start with the older guys. and swoopes is to be commended with the way he's handled this situation this year, and how he played tonight. >> joe: with three rushing touchdowns. on a night where they went back and forth, with thrills and chills, a lot of drama. and a fabulous finish. >> holly: tyrone, on a night that you could have been disappointed because you didn't get the start, how were you able to keep your mind in this and be there for your team when they needed you most? [ inaudible ] >> that's my role, when i get a chance to get in, i'm going to do what i can to win the game. >> holly: you had your helmet
8:44 pm
on the field. what were you thinking? >> they told me to be ready, and i was able to perform, and come out with the win. >> holly: as you run into the end zone on the play, what was the play, and how did you do it? >> just a little misdirection. everybody got their blocks off right. we always say, do your job. everybody did their job, and we just came out with a big one tonight. >> holly: all the eyes of texas on not one but quarterbacks -- now, this young man here, shane. how were you able to keep your team in this game as a true freshman? >> this is an exciting game. back and forth, a good third quarter, got stopped a little bit late. just stayed calm, and had trust in my guys, and everybody came through and ended up with a "w." >> holly: what did you think
8:45 pm
tonight? >> i was excited. everyone worked hard for this moment. an exciting game, and glad we got the win. >> holly: coach strong, what does this mean to win in front of a record crowd? >> just so big. and the way we won it, for our guys to compete, and play the able to come back. i told swoopes before the game, buechele is going to start, but you're going to have an opportunity. >> holly: how did you manage two quarterbacks down the stretch? >> the good thing about these guys, they respect one another so much. so, it's easy for that to happen. i'm so proud of the football team, and even when we were down, we continued to play.
8:46 pm
[ inaudible ] what did that feel like to have your players hoist you like a hero? >> i believe in them, and we just need to keep playing together. one game doesn't make a season, but i'm going to enjoy this one. >> holly: moving forward, can you keep the two-quarterback system working >> it will happen. >> holly: thank you, and congratulations. >> joe: just awesome to see the respect and care for the head coach charlie strong, who has gone about this trying to build it the right way. putting the bricks in the foundation, laying it down. only 11 wins in the first two years, but this, my friend, is a signature win now. >> todd: it really is. an outstanding team win.
8:47 pm
kept battling and finding a way. i just am impressed with sterlin gilbert and the offense and package. the way both quarterbacks played. this is an offense last year that only scored 26 points a game. they played a freshman quarterback, charlie strong took a little bit of a risk going with a guy who w play caller in three years. a young guy, he turned the offense over to him. charlie works with the defense, lets sterlin run the offense, and it paid dividends tonight. >> joe: texas wins over number ten notre dame. there's always a team every year, off the board, not ranked in college football, that comes out of nowhere.
8:48 pm
could be texas? >> todd: charlie just told holly, one game doesn't make a season. it was a great first game, and they deserve to really enjoy this. but they have a short week next week. the next one that comes to town. i think texas has served notice, they're a different team, and they will be a player in the big 12 conference. >> joe: where does notre dame? >> todd: kizer is the real deal, and they can run the football. they need to get the young receivers back and making plays, and a part of what they're doing. i think they still have a big season ahead of them. >> joe: kizer was awesome tonight leading the comeback. he had five touchdowns passing, one touchdown on the ground.
8:49 pm
18-wheeler, swoopes, with two touchdowns in overtime, the game winner from six yards out. as you've been watching the ford wrap-up, presented by the new 2017 ford escape. be unstoppable. the moment of truth. getting free and going in. tyrone swoopes, the senior, who's been through so much, the ups and downs and now, a mighty high. for holly and todd, i'm joe tessitore. asking you to enjoy the rest of your night. texas topples the irish, here at home. ?
