up front push. >> doug: we've said this the last part of the season. so much is getting hated on kizer's shoulders. someone else has to step up the o-line. >> dan: another good game. 3:30 and rolling. chadho back after missing the virginia tech game. >> doug: notre dame loves to involve kiser in red zone situations. if they could run that in, that would be their preference. >> dan: folston at the second

not much. there's justin yoon warming up on the side lines. you want a conservative call that gives you an opportunity. you don't want to risk it. you would like to take shot at >> dan: how gref do you get? this is letting the clock run and we'll call a time-out probably. >> dan: so that stops the clock with 2:11 left. >> doug: so not the classic rivalry.

it goes right down to the wire. >> dan: it is still fun football. >> doug: miami taking the lead. 27 unanswered points. then you get up off the mat and tie it up. so many momentum swings. now you come down to a third and three situations. you've been running the ball well. >> dan: not as much at stake obvioubu games to be bowl eligible. so they drop this one. they have to run the table or they'll be without it for the first time in the brian kelly era. then you have mark richt who lost three in a row. he spent 15 years in georgia. never in his playing career, his assistant coaching career, and his head coaching career at georgia, he only had one four-game losing streak. that was it.

trying to snap the three-game losing streak. third and three. >> i say it is a quarterback run. >> dan: he fumbles it! it appeared miami was on top of it. it could have squirted out from there but it sure looked like miami had it. >> doug: and it is first down yardage if it were to be notre

>> dan: no indications yet with the officials. notre dame's football. terence smythe got a little greedy here. there is where it is not cleanly behind him. >> dan: so that ball was loose. was that kizer who finally got it? >> doug: it would not surprise me if he got in there and got it. i complain about this all the time. protect it from 99 yards. reach out for the ball down by the 1 yard line. so now the first and goal. that's kendrick norton.

i would have liked to have looked how close he was. was there a possibility? >> doug: he is probably a foot short of the goal line when that ball came out. >> dan: so the penalty moves it to the one yard line. >> time-outs. do you just hammer the football or do you go for the chock a little? >> dan: spoken like a guy who has done this a few times. this is your time, doug. you love this stuff. >> doug: if i only had one time-out -- >> referee: ready for play. >> dan: if you kick it.

go. with two time-outs, there will be a minute even with the third, check that, the clock is running now so it would probably be 45 seconds. good job running the clock. >> dan: not only do you get the five-ype you stop the clock where you could have wasted another 10 to 14 seconds. >> dan: was that on mcglinchey? >> referee: a five-yard penalty. the clock will start on the snap. >> dan: so that changes things a bit. still have first and goal. plenty of opportunities to get

>> dan: a field goal attempt. >> doug: now you run the ball three times. get it under a minute and kick the field goal. >> dan: so to give to it adams. a very short gain. second and goal. chad thomas on the stop. by the way, kizer was credited with that fumble recovery. that you haven't seen go notre dame's way this season. miami takes the time-out. and it is exactly what brian kelly has been talking about. he showed his team some examples. little examples of things they did in 2012.

they didn't do right. just the difference between winning five games that were close no 2012 and losing all five games this year within 8 points. i-the margin of error is to split the wide receiver on the route. having to give it over to the other team. the procedure called the wrong situation. who knows? this could lead to a field goal. >> doug: when it potentially could have been easy touchdowns. so there are minute factors. i remember the undefeated season. pittsburgh iced the game. they had a few breaks go their way. they got it on the fumble. >> dan: so the ball at the five yard line. second and goal. josh adams still in there. he is down. close to the 2 yard line. third and goal. >> doug: this is the mode that i was kind of talking about on the one yard line of milking the

>> dan: he takes his final time-out. >> doug: so you'll take another 30 to 40 seconds off the clock. that should leave about 30 seconds on the clock for miami to respond. assuming it goes through. we've seen quite a few balls hit uprights this year. >> dan: yes, we have. >> doug: you don't to have talk about miami. we can talk about the >> dan: that started the three-game spiral for miami. you look at justin yoon who is nervously pacing the side lines. >> doug: they've had a history as you look at the first year coach in recent years of starting out great. losing the florida state game. that was a gut wrenching loss.

cages. >> doug: this is not a nervous situation. they take their time to line up and kick a short field goal. things have not gone their way. there's so much discussion. they're going to analyze it and justin yoon will sit there and think about it as long as possible. or they're giving him a lot of time to think about it. >> doug: somebody busts through. >> doug: from miami's standpoint, they're thinking, get them out of bounds. >> dan: third and goal. nothing crazy here. don't turn it over.

>> doug: do not be reaching out with the football. go talk on durham smythe a few plays ago. >> dan: he took it like a loaf of bread. high up in the air. >> doug: all of a sudden, instincts take over where he wants to reach. miami has to be eyeing the clock. you're dealing with field goal and kickoff 30 seconds. >> dan: coming in that 40-yard field goal that he made in the hurricane conditions of north carolina state. that might be the best he's made considering the conditions. >> doug: i don't understand

difference on a ball that's headed in. sometimes the angle might be tricky but this is toward field. the other aspect is notre dame has time outs. call the time-out. >> dan: this might b comfortable position for yoon. i don't know if there is a lot of, again. just speculating. a lot of practice kicks. he feels more comfortable with his 23-yard field goal attempt. which could potentially win the game for notre dame.

is this the game that they finally break through on the final possession to win it? instead of let it slip away? justin yoon with the 23-yard field goal. after they bakd him up a little bit. special teams have been the achilles' heel all day. notre dame has to kick off. and cover that kick. the athletes need get to the notre dame, i would guess, 45 yard line to line up and i've seen him hit the 53 yarders. he got one of the biggest legs as we mentioned earlier. two field goals named previously at 53 and 48. we'll see if miami can get

>> doug: the kickoff return is the scariest play of all from a defensive standpoint. this isser what good athlete in space can hit the crease. >> dan: early in the first quarter, notre dame had it 20-0. josh adams went 4 touchdown and with 30 seconds left, justin yoon who is kicking off, gives notre dame the lead 30-27. miami will take its chances from the 25. >> dan: 75 yards away with no time-outs. a field goal kicker that can kick it a long way but that's asking a lot >> doug: 34 yards.

would say he'll attempt something from 63 and in. >> dan: he's had kicks this year that have been good for 60 plus. >> doug: only 30 yards away in 30 seconds. to have the opportunity. >> dan: let's see if kaaya can get it in there is a nice gain. by malcolm lewis. stops the clock. just six seconds off of it. and a gain of 14. >> doug: 14 yards in six seconds. you play soft coverage. those little out routes are 5 to 10 yards. they happen in four to six seconds. >> dan: out of bounds. another decent gain.

to do. they're about ten yards away from having the opportunity to at least line up and try something. no time-outs for miami. kaaya. no big deal, right? stops the clock. >> doug: no big deal. the thing that ends the game f tackle behind the first down marker in the field of play. pretty soon you have time to go up because of blocked stops. spike the ball and then line up. the whole field is still in play. it is not just the boundary. >> dan: they have to get back for some more yardage here. they only have 13 seconds to do

kaaya, near side. we've got whistles. a time-out called by notre dame. nine seconds left. >> doug: notre dame -- >> referee: time-out. >> dan: so they put more time up to 13 to reset it becse the game happened. and there's michael badgley. he was the guy who had the extra point in the big game against the seminoles. he's had a couple of blocked field goals chug the blocked point after that cost him a chance against florida state. >> doug: the theory on that was sometimes he tries to drive the ball. and it may not get up in a

to put just some penetration, maybe even a hand on. boy, it comes off his foot. so 7 for 10 on the year in field goals. two of the three he's missed have been blocked. but he has a big leg. he needs more yardage on third down and two for miami. >> doug: at least ten yards. >> dan: around that 40 yard line. and he has a chance. now down goes kaaya at the worst and the clock rolling. it will run out and notre dame is going to escape with a sack on kaaya! the three-game home losing streak is history and the irish do indeed finally figure out how to win a close one at the ends.

miami fits offensively. it was a sack that finally sealed the deal for notre dame. that situation as a quarterback, you have to get it out of your hand if at all possible. he's trying to make the play. the clock is running and nothing miami can do. >> dan: so in the end we saw so many plays like that in the first half. in the end, another sack. this one by nyles morgan on kaaya and deshone kizer and notre dame escape with a "w." >> kathryn: how did you find a way to pull through this one? >> well, we knew there would be adversity and we haven't been able to respond. and i told them on friday at this stadium, i said, it will happen again and we're going to respond. and i'm so proud of our kids. with all the adversity, that

i knew we would get through it. tonight was the night they got through it. they'll win a lot of game for a long time. >> kathryn: what was the final key? >> we must haved the punt and they did not lose their comp composure. they came back with 10 unanswered points at the end. those are the scars of five losses by one possession. came back here and won a football game. >> kathryn: coach, thank you very much. dan? >> dan: that sums it up. it has been a coming. as we listen to the alma mater for the first time in a while. it is a win feeling in that end zone in front of the notre dame

>> dan: across the world, they've waited a long time for this one. a home victory for the first time since september 10th. notre dame's first home game of the season. the defense played a big part of

>> kathryn: a big part of that defense was jarron. what did you notice that allowed to you make so many negative plays? >> i couldn't hear you. >> kathryn: what did you notice allowed to you make so many negative plays on defense? >> i just had to get penetration to the best of my ability and make plays. >> kathryn: how would you describe what this game was like to play in? it went back and forth so many times and it came down to the final minute. >> it was awesome to be a notre dame versus miami. we had to fight until the very end. i was able to pull out the win. >> your coach said this team was so close to getting a bin big. what does this do for your program? >> it giflifts us up in a big w. we have to keep pushing. keep moving. >> kathryn: thanks so much. dan? >> dan: thank you. a huge game for the notre dame

12 tackles for losses. he had 12 of the tackles for losses for the irish defense. so smiles on the faces of notre dame. and i'm sure it is a relieved and happy deshone kizer. >> kathryn: indeed. how much of a relief was this for you? >> it is like this whole stadium is off my shoulders. i'm actually a nice guy, contrary to beli gone the way we wanted to. to come out and do this today was awesome. there was a little lull in the second half. a couple of recoveries and a win. >> kathryn: what can you say about the defense, helping you out on the offensive side of the ball? >> this is the team we know. the way we made in the first half of the offense, throwing the ball all over the place. getting the big run that's we. did and having the defense

season. if we can get that throughout the game. too many games have come down to the last touchdowns. we'll make sure we pick that up. >> kathryn: speaking of that, how did you manage to get that ball on the fumble? >> i turned away to the crowd. as i turned, i just saw the ball flying over. it went through three miami guys' hands and i held on for dear life. >> kathryn: all right. congratulations. thanks so much. in our conversation with deshone yesterday, he said never in his entire athletic career, little league, middle school, has he ever had a losing season. you could see it weighing on him. so this was a huge win for deshone kizer and the notre dame team. >> doug: it has to feel like the

shoulders. you were anticipating the touchdown. get your nose in there as a quarterback. a lot of quarterbacks would stand back and watch. he got in there. got into the mix. came out and saved the game for notre dame. at least in regulation, saved the game. a fantastic effort. i think it was the running game that came around late. and josh adams, they took some of the pressure off his shoulders. >> dan: there's an example of those rushing yards. 148. it was a great effort by miami with 27 unanswered points to get back into it. kelly alluded to the fact of his speech after practice on friday with kathryn. we were there and we heard him talk about it. he said you guys will face adversity against miami. how will you deal with it? this time it needs to be different. this time it was different. >> doug: the most important play was after losing the league, the

kizer gets it down the side line for a big play. they initiated that drive that ends up in the end zone. it was a positive gain. it is so hard to regain confidence sometimes. that does it for your offense. that's a big chunk. and they get it to the end zone. >> dan: kelly said, this is just the beginning. he's been telling us all year and he's been telling everybody out faithful, once these guys, young guys playing on defense. once this group wins. they're going to figure it out. do you believe this team is set up for a good finale down season and into 2017? >> doug: i believe so. they've been in every game one break one way or the other. the offense was there early. sort of finding that spark now

tonight. that's what needed to be cleaned up. >> dan: a big deal is that bowl eligible six-win plateau. notre dame gets a little closer but they have some work to make sure they get that extra month of practice which is so important for a young team to develop. so for brian kelly's press conference. you can go to nbc sports.com. "dateline" saturday night mystery and then in a couple weeks, the shamrock series. the figg black knights. right now, stay with us on nbcsn for the notre dame postgame show. for our entire crew. thank you for watching notre dame football presented by reeses peanut butter cups. notre dame gets it done 30-27

hi there, meteorologist danielle grant here in the 9 backyard. it feels fantastic as we're winding down the month of october. we did have a cold front. but stiler of october, it has been a warm one. so much so that i think we're going down in the record books. right now we're at the 4th warmest october on record. we could see those numbers go up even more, above average temperatures tomorrow and monday. 76 degrees out at the airport. mid-80s in lamar, springfield, pueblo. held in the mid-60s in eagle

temperatures in the mid-70s and winds switching out of the north at 12 miles per hour. we did have a cold front come through the area. here in the 9 backyard, it is so quiet, so calm. and our temperatures sitting right there at 73. i'll show you what's going on across the country and truly that's not a lot. especially for the midsection. we have one storm about to graze past parts of minns. weeks, the storm track has stayed well to the north allowing us to look at warm dry conditions. nothing going on here in colorado. tonight our overnight lows just a hair cooler than last night. we'll drop down to the 40s for most of eastern colorado and high country areas cooling off like they should be. 37 degrees in teleu ride. this evening, we do have a

it might move into the dia region and into parts of the northeastern suburbs of denver. i'll show you that in the future cast. you can see it oozing into parts of nebraska. this is around 11:00 tonight. it moves in just a little closer around the denver metro area tomorrow morning. this is 7:00 a.m. the person slope still looks pretty good. you folks waking up to sunshine. then a mix of clouds and sun as knock down our temperatures just a degree or so. we're going to be watching for dry conditions out there there's the front pulling through eastern colorado. look what's on its way. a more potent storm system making its way a little closer to colorado. not really that promising as far as seeing the rain or snowfall, but definitely we will see the winds out of that system. especially sunday evening into monday morning. i'll show you the wind gust

20 miles per hour. picking up more so just to the east of town. but look at this. overnight sunday into monday, strong westerly winds ahead of that next cold front and that will allow our wind gusts to pick up in the 50 to 60 mile- per-hour range across the foothills. so that's going to be a windy one sunday night into monday. tomorrow, pleasant out there. we'll get rid of the fog. we'll have sunshine in the upper 70s. we'll keep it cooler across the northeastern plains. we stay mainly in the 60s around the foothills. a nice afternoon in idaho springs. and in northern colorado, much of the same. a little bit of fog early in the morning. it scoots out around lunchtime. by the afternoon, you are good
