Notre Dame Week 14 highlight: Christian Gray’s pick-six at USC spells redemption

Notre Dame’s Christian Gray may have redeemed himself after a tough day in Southern California.

Notre Dame cornerback [autotag]Christian Gray[/autotag] has been picked on by the USC Trojans all day.

Now he may have saved a playoff berth for the No. 5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish with a 99-yard pick-six.

The Trojans have had success with long passes all day and they were in the midst of a possible game-tying drive when the intended receiver fell down and Gray plucked the pass out of the air.

Gray managed to keep his knee off the ground and weaved his way to the end zone. There was a penalty on the play but it was assessed to USC.

If Notre Dame holds on for the win, Gray’s play will obviously be huge.
