Here’s a recap of today’s 2016 finale against USC:

The Trojans were held to a field goal. Josh Adams had a long run that led to a QB sneak touchdown. Notre Dame was winning! Ronald Jones ran for a 51-yard touchdown. Notre Dame was no longer winning. Suddenly, lots of punts were traded. Yoon missed a field goal. A couple more punts, except Adoree Jackson took back a boot untouched for a touchdown. Kizer put a cherry on top of the late first half collapse with a pick six.

There was some fight in the second half–Finke got his second touchdown in as many games on a pass from Kizer. Then Adoree Jackson took a swing pass to the house for his second touchdown of the game. A couple more punts then Kizer found Stepherson on a nice sluggo touchdown pass. Just a 10 point game at this point!

And then Adoree took the kickoff back for a touchdown. He struck the Heisman pose a couple of times in the end zone.

Notre Dame lost a fumble on a backwards pass. Cool, cool. Nicco Fertitta lit up a player and caused a fumble. The play was reviewed, Fertitta was ejected, and USC got the ball back. Tillery kicked the injured player in the head. USC scored on an easy play-action pass. Tillery stomped on a lineman.

Equanimeous St. Brown stayed awesome and added a late touchdown. Notre Dame missed the two-point conversion and the cover in Vegas.

USC won 45-27.

Notre Dame finishes 4-8 on the season.
