Moore made an athletic play, juggling a batted ball and bringing it in for the interception.

After a slow start to the game for both offenses, the Notre Dame offense has taken advantage of the turnovers caused by the Irish defense.

Notre Dame drops two spots in the AP Top 25 -- without even playing.
