clausen to allen. allen out of the backfield. picks up the first down. >> tom: the end around, the catch, the block. he runs. and today, he threw a touchdown pass. >> pat: he's been running tough all game long, tom. as we said, a different armando allen. he was in a wildcat formation. 12-yard touchdown run to get the irish on the board. watch him break some tackles, lowers his shoulders, keeps the legs moving. then the read option, breaking tackles again. you said, threw a touchdown pass in the wildcat formation too. >> tom: charlie weis told us the taubting penalty when he shushed the crowd in michigan, took it so personally. that was the only man back there was rucker. it went incomplete. that was a busted route as you'll ever see. >> pat: the wide receiver absolutely stopped, which is inexcusable. jimmy clausen is waiting, waiting, waiting. trying for one of those jump balls. i don't know what tate's doing. it's amazing, chris rucker didn't intercept that. it was the only guy back there. almost like a punt. >> tom: second down

allen in the wildcat. armando allen fakes and keeps. this is the play they scored the touchdown on earlier. this one comes up just a little short. >> pat: you're right, the same play he ran 12 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. inside block. olson, robinson, stewart, those guys inside. there's chris stewa. watch the center and the guard, chris stewart coming around and trevor robinson put the ball in his gap. so that's a pretty good offensive line play. >> tom: michael floyd walking to the notre dame locker room. it's third down and goal. three tight ends. clausen fumbled. scramble for it. >> pat: good hustle by allen, i think who recovered it. >> tom: armando allen. and at the bottom of that file -- >> pat: you just wonder how much that toe of clausen is bothering him, trying to push out away from center, tom. enever had it. had a chance to get it and uldn't. armando allen scrambling around, able to cradle it as he's piled on. it sets up a tausch field goal attempt. 22-yard attempt by the freshman, nick tausch. tausch boots it

and they call allen. c-span: the older of all of the andreas, his son nick is the vice chairman and allen is what relationship? >> guest: allen is dwae's fifth cousin. i actually don't remember. i think it is a brother but i'e not sure. and, allen has something else that makes him a beneficl. he has a particular close contact with the cia, so they call allen in london, in this bizarre phonecall that is described in the book. c-span: first dwayne calls and says something like, do you still have your friends in london, this sort of code conversation going back and forth. ultimately net calls and lays out the story of the saboteur, lays out the sry of this individual, this japanese executive. c-span: made it up. >> guest: pons le is the whole story was fiction. he was a real guybut he never made the phonecall whitaker had just made it up, so he tells, nick andrea as tells allen andreas in london about this sinister phonecall that he heard about and allen goes to the cia, and says help us. the cia in turn ref

allen falls in that category. i said that from the get-go as i said he caused a lot of problems, a lot of heartache to people from which they'll never recover. >> at the time there was a lot of anger. i wouldave killed him with my bare hands then, if i could have. you know seven years go by and it's different. you can't hold all tha anger all that time. >> reporter: that is paul. he is one of the surviving victims of the snipers. he was attacked outside his restaurant in clinton. you were shot five times? >> yep. >> reporter: you were on the edge of death. >> yeah. i was close, pretty close. >> reporter: it was one of the most horrific serial acts of violence in the history of washington crime. october 2002. everyday people doing ordinary things shot and killed for no apparent reason. a cabbie pumping gas. a man mowing the grass. a woman leaving a home depot store. ten people killed. four people wounded in a series of random sniper attacks that terrorized the washington community. if you could say one thing to moh

nbc's ron allen is following the story. dozens of colleges around the country are already dealing with the swine flu. how big of a problem is this so far and what are the fears some. >> well, so far about 77 colleges have been affected. places like washington state university up in the northwest have some 2,000 cases that have sprung up over the past two weeks and southeast, emory university in atlanta has a number of cases and they set up an isolation dorm area where students who have the swine flu can go. and that seems to be the wig big approach is separate students out who have swine flu until they get over it. the big problem colleges face is many students can't go home because they are living on campus. but the idea is to separate students who have the flu. when you start talking about high schools and elementary schools most health officials it seems are encouraging schools to stay open. one big decision they have to make whether to stay or close. they are encouraging schools to stay open to avoid massive disruptions
