No. 8 Notre Dame is hosting Virginia today, and the opening kickoff nearly turned into a Fighting Irish touchdown.
The thing is, the Irish were kicking off.
Former Irish player [autotag]Chris Tyree[/autotag] muffed the kickoff and Notre Dame special teamer [autotag]Max Hurleman[/autotag] appeared to recover it for a touchdown.
However, since it was a muff and not a fumble, by rule Notre Dame could not advance the ball.
Nevertheless, the Irish were setup with great field position to start their final home game at Notre Dame Stadium this year.
