Watch: Tyler Buchner finds Tyree for first career Notre Dame passing TD

A huge game from the true freshman

The Irish offense was stagnant for much of the second half, but the spark of the first half, Tyler Buchner came in to start the series an immediately made a big play happen. Buchner took the snap, fakes a zone read handoff then threw to running back Chris Tyree and the speedy running back did the rest.

Tyree sped past the Toledo defense for 55-yards and the score to extend the Irish lead to 24-16 with under 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter. it was a massive play to give the Irish some breathing room, in a game that was much tighter than many of us expected it to be.
