5. Paul Maola’s Pitch-Six
Maybe I’m caught up in the moment but I don’t remember ever seeing a pitch-six quite like Paul Maola’s that made it a 51-10 Notre Dame advantage early in the fourth quarter. On a day the defense dominated the play of game managed to come when things were very much determined.

Although the game was much-closer at time of Tuitt’s, I couldn’t help but think back to Stephon Tuitt returning the fumble for a touchdown against Navy in the 2012-opener.
