    False punts are almost always a risky proposition, but the Notre Dame Fighting Irish pulled off a win against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The successful fake kept the Fighting Irish alive for an important late period in the game.

    It’s officially listed as a pass from linebacker Tommy Powlus to running back Jeremiyah Love for a loss of 8 yards and a first down – perhaps the online live score needs some adjustment. Anyway, Love carried the ball backwards for the first time.

    Unfortunately, the Irish were unable to convert the special teams tricks into a game-winning touchdown, but a 42-yard field goal by backup kicker Zac Yoakam at least made it a three-point game.
