>> mike: to the left. for some reason they didn't pick up shembo. nice job by him staying home on the back side. >> tom: bryce out of the back field draws it back from the 22 yard line. no uh attempt. i thought he had a chance. seven-yard gain. third down and long. kelly. delivers. incomplete. short hop astute was bearing down the on b kelly.

>> mike: 325. >> tom: 4th down and 13. it appears arizona state will go for it. with with three time-outs left they don't want to give the ball back to notre dame. >> tom: 4th down and 13. here's kelly. his pass downfield -- intercepted! farley. down the sideline for alabama with a flag down. blocked in the back.

>> tom: i thought he telegraphed this throw to strong all day long. farley doing a nice job coming over the top the. >> referee: during the return, illegal block in the back by number 38 of the intercept ing team. ten yards from the spot of the foul. first down. >> tom: illegal block on the back. >> mike: farley cuts in front. stared it down. here comes the block in the back. >> tom: farley's second interception of the season. midfield now. mr. dependable. the texan cam mcdaniels. arizona state knows that as well. a quick time-out.

asu now. two time-outs remaining. >> mike: 1:39 and two more time-outs. they're going to commit everything off the corner again with irabor. they are going to anticipate runs. they hope to make the ball back with a little over a minute left. we'll be out of time-outs at that point. >> tom: mcdaniel remains the running back.

gets the handoff, does mcdaniel. gets a yard. time-out asu. this is an explosive offense. it's fun to watch. beat it is right tackle inside. knicks inside. the running back wide. again, tuitt. a nice job back side. his third sack. no sacks on the season gets three tonight. that becomes four for the notre dame defense.

>> tom: as the victory march sounds throughout at that time stadium. notre dame not in celebration mode yet. 1:35 on the b clock. it's third down. notre dame will take a time-out now. you get everything set. >> mike: i don't think brian kelly can be aggressive here. he knows arizona state is pinching from both sides off the edges. would he throw something out quickly, a safe pass? i don't think he would. from my perspective, ball on the 49 kward line. run it on third down. force them to burn their final time-out. run it down. you don't have to punt. punt it away. that's how it has to go.

>> tom: we'll see how the strategy unfolds in what's been a highly entertaining game in the shamrock series as the irish try to remain unbeaten in the series with a tough game tonight against arizona state. everybody got their money's worth at at&t tonight. he is going to throw the ball. rees will throw it away. that stops the clock. 1:29. i'm scratching my head on that one. >> mike: i understand that you will probably get a one on one. i don't see the percentages there. ryan kelly isn't very happy with that. >> tom: now it's fourth down. arizona state still has a time-out in its pocket.

>> mike: i don't get that at all. force them to burn that time-out. >> tom: brindza will punt. >> referee: false start, offense, number 23. five-yard penalty. fourth down. >> mike: rocked a little bit. that really shouldn't hurt them because of field position. i hate to over em if a size. i don't know why you don't force them to use the last time-out. there is 1:29 left. >> tom: picked up the snap. a high towering punt. not that deep. they let it bounce. should have made the catch. instead notre dame will down it at the one yard line. that doesn't make sense. >> mike: no. >> tom: two "scratch your head"

plays. >> mike: i don't get that at all. you have to protect the football there. you have to fair catch the football. i don't understand what's happening right there. nelson. >> tom: after the roll it covers 53 yards. it means if arizona state is going to score they have to go the entire length of the field. flu arizona state with one time-out. >> mike: one time-out. i would be alert for double pass. all kinds of gadgets.

>> tom: picked off. touchdown! it's dan fox. that will seal the deal with 1:08 left on the clock. extra point.

there's fox. scores the touchdown on the i.n.t. and it's a ten-point game. >> mike: i think with grace out with an injury earlier i thought fox and calabrese did a heck of a job. read the eyes. drive on the football. tom, you could have caught that. you may not have done that but you could have caught it. this was against a dynamic offense. that was the best of the season. they limit the offense and force three turnovers. one fumble and two interceptions.

>> tom: brindza will kick it uh off to bryce one more time. brindza's kickoff. buried him in the end zone. >> mike: the field goal liver in the game. a 53-yard field goal. dominant in the game. >> tom: the irish will have a pleasant flight back and enjoy a by week. in two weeks, the saturday return as the fighting irish take on usc. the greatest intersectional rival erie in all of college football. the coverage begins at 6:30 eastern on nbcsn. the game, 7:30 on nbc.

>> mike: a week ago kiffin fired the interim head coach. going to be a fun week, i think. >> tom: kelly being chased. don't forget your local news is nebs followed by "saturday night live" except on the west coast. a new episode. miley cyrus both the host and musical guest tonight. it's incomplete. the clock down to 56 seconds.

similar to what stanford did with them. >> tom: kelly rolling out. caught at midfield. just across midfield. stops the clock t at 47 second s. so the irish after that disheartening turnover play against oklahoma a week ago. bounced back against a good ranked asu team. kelly steps up. the pass is caught by smith. d.j. foster.

graham will get the sun devils ready for colorado. washington at washington state and utah. they get into the heart of the pac 12 schedule. kelly will scramble out of bounds. that will stop the clock at 31. we told you for notre dame the by week is upcoming. then usc comes to south bend. then they will be at air force. navy at home at pit. byu at home and at 5th ranked stanford to close the season. >> mike: that's a good football team coached by david shaw out there. the throw is incomplete.

intended for richard smith. rees in the face of the criticism. 279 yards. three touchdowns in the one interception that went four score against them. t.j. jones had eight receptions. 135 yards. daniels four re sepgss, 67 yards. nicholas and koyack had a touchdown reception each. atkinson carried 18 times, 54 yards. mcdaniel 14 carry, 82 yards. the catch by bryce. -- grice. for the touchdown asu. grice with another touchdown to add to his total. but only 11 seconds remain on the clock. >> mike: into the boundary all day long. grice out of the backfield. perfect on the back shoulder.

they do that as well as any team i have seen in college football. >> tom: extra point through the uprights. with 11 seconds left, arizona state will set up for the on-side kick. >> mike: now, i watched them a couple of weeks ago in the stanford game. they climbed into it. down 29-0 at the half. they t got it within 11 late in the fourth. had an on side kick attempt. they lined six up on one side, four on the other. just before the kicker was to kick it they shifted guys over and completely shifted direction of the kick. you have to be very aware if you are brian kelly and special team s, be very aware of what the team is going to do. >> tom: the sun devils were able to score the last touchdown without using their final time-out. so they have one left. >> mike: that was too easy.

>> tom: "saturday night live" coming up after your local news. 11 ticks left. >> mike: a bunch of aggressive ball hogs on the other side. >> tom: the sun devils were ex-employee sieve. but notre dame made it too easy for them. seven plays, 75 yards. took 57 seconds and they didn't use their time-out. >> mike: you have to have four players at least on either side of the kicker. there is a clegs of three down here. let's see if there is a rotation. >> tom: here is the b on side kick. it's up for grabs.

>> mike: that's a heck of a job by the kicker. >> tom: notre dame has recovered. >> mike: watch how they do this. this is intentional for the kicker to kick it straight ahead and he's going to go after it himself. that's a good job. grice came up with it. >> tom: i'm not sure who came up with it for notre dame. here is the victory formation. rees takes a knee. a hard fought victory for the irish of notre dame. they go to 4-2 on the season. bouncing back from a loss to oklahoma. 37-34.

a huge group of federal workers going back to work. details after the game. news 4 at 11:00 starts now. now at 11:00, hundreds of thousands of federal workers headed back to work on monday, but for most the shutdown drags on. >> please put your country before your party. >> tonight there is one thing congress can agree on. plus the first weekend of the shutdown on the national mall. monuments and museums empty, tourists forced to stand outside the barriers. and president obama makes a splash in a sitdown interview. what would he do about the redskins name if he owned the team? good evening. i'm chris gordon. a big relief tonight for some federal workers. the pentagon is calling back 300,000 civilian employees. the government shutdown goes on,

but they will return to work next week with full pay. defense department officials say the civilian employees should be exempt from the furlough because they support military personnel. meanwhile, the house voted unanimously today to give back pay to the more than 800,000 federal workers who have been furl ode during the shutdown. it's the only agreement lawmakers have been able to reach. tonight they're literally divided on a spending bill. >> if the speaker and the republicans would just take yes for an answer. >> what we're looking at here again is an administration, a president, that seems to be unwilling to sit down and talk with us. >> no progress is expected this weekend. the senate has adjourned until monday. tonight we are really seeing the impact of the shutdown on tourism here in washington. crowds on the national mall much smaller than you would expect for a beautiful saturday night. news 4's darcy spencer is live on the mall where barriers are

keeping people out tonight. darcy? >> reporter: well, chris, i'm here on the national mall. quite often on the weekends i can tell you from personal experience that the crowds were definitely a lot smaller than what you would expect, especially on a weekend in october when the temperatures reach into the 80-degree mark. and i can tell you also that people who did come out here, they had to look ot our national treasures from a distance. >> i don't know why they shut down all this. >> reporter: he's just 9 years old, but he knows something's wrong when he and his family come to see the monuments and they're closed off by barriers. >> i heard that some people weren't able to go to school because of this? so sometimes i say dangerous. so they won't get their education. >> reporter: this capital heights family along with everyone else has to stay behind the gates to see the world war ii and lincoln memorials, national treasures closed off because of the government shutdown. >> it makes me sad.

i'm very disappointment about the government shutdown. and my heart goes out to all the people that are not working right now and not going to get paid. and i think that that's ridiculous. >> reporter: d.c. is losing millions every day the shutdown continues. crowds are noticeably smaller. the smithsonian museums are closed. tourism is taking a hit. >> since all the museums were closed, i was kind of thinking there would be a lot more people walking around, a better photo opportunity. i'm actually surprised, it's kind of empty around here. >> reporter: on a beautiful saturday night like tonight typically it would be hard to get a pedicab, we had no problem. business is way down because of the shutdown. guides are still giving tours but only at a distance. tourists on segues and on bikes taking in the sights. the deserted memorials are providing a calm and quiet setting that many hope won't last much longer. you're hoping next time you come out here, everything will be open? >> i hope it's open, tomorrow,
