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. equanimeous st. brown, nice at

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. >> todd: about an hour ago, i

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 defense find a way to slow down 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. second overtime. here we go.

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 into the backfield for a loss of

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 sensational at the end of his

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 offense that came from the art

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. and it will be third and about a 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 in on third and one.

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 kizer. 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 the players that was arrested

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 studstill, from florida. 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. we will check on avery when we

only on directv. >> 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 on his own 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 the longhorns. first and goal. 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. for the win. texas is back, folks!

>> 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 knee 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 freshman taking his job. >> todd: when you talk about

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? >> 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 on, they called you twice to run 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 two 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 when coach strong told you you were going to be the starter

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 whole game. 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. >> holly: the
