the mark of a well coached team is balanced. and the defense played. they built a 25 point lead in an impressive fashion. it was not that last year's team didn't have it. i didn't bring a good job of bringing it out. i know it was frustrating for him. those losses. and that is one possession within eight points. and that is one possession game to georgeia.

he fumbles at the one and notre dame goes down the field 80 yards and put the ball in the end zone and 28- 7 and took a 21- point lead in to the half. and that was it. this defense just shut them down. you have to credit notre dame for playing a great second half. 4:51 to play. 38- 10. and you put it away. and michigan state will bring it out inside of your own five yard line and advance to the 30. and let's go to greg before the game break. >> penn state trailing iowa down in the last play of the game. and joanne johnson that wins it the and they go 80

time minute and they are now 4 and 0 back to you. and that is nitny lions. wow. it is oklahoma and penn state on the road. and michigan state. that is wrapped up by dante. >> joel: when your quarterback is inexperienced they are important. and you don't get a chance to be in a live game. lewerke has things to work on. >> gus: that one sailed high. it was intended for felton davis. next week

have a tough one as they will host iowa. iowa fighting hard against penn state this evening and coming up short. 2nd at 10 and 41. lewerke, in the middle. that is crowded by hunter. gape of 23. >> joel: good throw by lewerke. and starting to find defense. the defense is not playing as hard. and the they have done a heck of a job in notre dame. >> gus: he's knocked out of bounds. notre dame, next week, miami and ohio.

and then they will go to acc action as the fighting irish will take on north carolina on the road. 2nd down and four. lewerke goes deep. closest man to the football, cody white. joem joel miscommunication on the outside and this is why the reps are so important. these wide receiver and this quarterback have to get on the same page. finding lewerke. he had a mistake in the game. pick six by julian love and set the tone for the entire night. >> gus: 3rd down and four.

lewerke looking. he gets that foul and picks up a first down: >> joel: part of the problem with michigan state they had to play against a defense that was better than them tonight. they are more efficient and sound. >> gus: pas to that is -- to the end zone. 25 yards. 3:09 to go. >> joel: you have to give credit to gerald holmes. the running back will kick off and don't wait for the blocks. but the patience for holmes allows the block and take it

the end zone. >> gus: holmes is a fifth year senior from flint. lewerke to through in the end zone and caught. that is a two- point conversion. 3:09 to go. 38- 18. anniversary. our anniversary? it's thirty-four days since we first met. i didn't... get you anything. oh it's, it's fine 'cuz... i got myself one too. oh! from you, for me, happy anniversary. i love it. that is very thoughtful of you. thank you. get the amazing new iphone 8. and with all at&t unlimited plans, get hbo for life. less than $40 per line for four lines.

it is down by the fighting irish. >> gus: let's look at the cant a. alabama not a close call at all. >> joel: no, everyone predicted that vanderbilt was better but they aren't. tcu near the step point. and maybe 11th with that win on the road. colorado and washington 10-7 at half-time. that is on fs1. and the top ten teams, top 15 are in close games. >> gus: and back in time against boston

were 0 for three. >> joel: clemson lost to pitt. and just because your team struggle would. say oklahoma, you struggle and say we are not good enough to win a national championship. but maybe you are. games like that are going to happen. and in your opinion as you look around college football noum. who are the best four teams in america. i think clemson right behind them. and oklahoma state with the way the offense plays. now. that is it the fourth spot is

throw them up in the air and want them to land in the fourth sfot. like penn state or washington or wisconsin. that is mcintosh and 1:35 to go. >> joel: notre dame was good here, too.

>> gus: 1:35 remaining in president fourth quarter. and one night an impressive win over george ja state and notre dame the one- point loss doesn't look so bad. we roll off victories. that is over ten. and that is on the six yard line. irish can do no wrong this

they have a great roaster. he goes down hard. foul and contact below the knees. 15 yard penalty. and automatic first down. >> joel: he can't lunge and at the knee area. that is a knee brace that may have saved him. that is a soft moore with contact. and that is that is caught and out of bounds. and that is the tight end

the catch. all is not lost. some of the best seasons came when they lost to notre dame. let's not forget here. michigan state outgamed. and it was major mistakes, gus, in the penalties and turnovers. >> gus: winners of the last four meetings between the two teams. loupe lou -- lewerke throwing it in the middle and trying to get it out. 24 yard pick up on a rising. and looked very good.

incomplete. 43 seconds to play. intended for chambers. they have enough talent to overcome major mistakes. >> joel: some teams can over turnovers. michigan state is not that game. and they didn't. and they are going to get beaten. >> gus: second down and lewerke to the sideline. and first down again and chambers makes the grab. and third down and two and shot in the

>> gus: 15 seconds to go. bringing up 4th down and two. >> joel: good win for notre dame. that man will be sick to his stomach, mark dantonio. but brooil brian kelly has to feel great. >> gus: turnovers on downs. lewerke, caught by white. ten seconds to go. >> joel: it is impressive. >> gus: spartans stop the clock with seven

notre dame 2- 1. and michigan state. will fall. and>> joel: there are a couple of receivers, white and risen they are good play are and threats down the field. not enough tonight from a notre dame team. but looking for small nuggets to take forward and they will be a comfort. >> gus: 73 yards and lewerke over the middle. and chambers down and that will be taking us to the end of the game. fighting irish coming to east lansing and win 38- 18. and brian kelly, his offense is good. >> joel: it is

team. and more important leap they are well coached. mistake free and clean. and wimbush, with a quality night tonight and 14- 20 and 173 and did what he needed to do. >> gus: we are standing by with coach k. >> reporter: your defense came up big. why were they effective tonight. >> they got the big six and able to control the football a little bit and then when you get a lead on the road. brandon did a great job controlling the offense. and then again. like anything else. the game, take care of the football which we did today good things happen. offensively control it with tempo and take care of the football and be o''re opfortune ichlt. >> reporter: last week it was the

and noept offense. >> we have been able to compliment each other. quarterback threw the ball well. and we have to clean up things on both studies of the ball. we are 3 and 1 and played a tough early schedule and georgia and boston college and obviously michigan state. we have been tested early and we'll get better and we have a good football team. >> reporter: you are heading back home with the trophy. thank you, gus. >> gus: final score, 38, notre dame and michigan state 18. we'll be back after these messages.
