Twitter reacts to Chris Tyree’s receiving touchdown

Another running back scores on a pass.

While [autotag]Chris Tyree[/autotag] has had a fine season for Notre Dame, he hasn’t been its leading rusher like most people predicted. That distinction has gone to [autotag]Audric Estime[/autotag], who proved against Navy he’s capable of scoring off passes, too. Well, Tyree showed he’s just as capable of find the end zone in that fashion. This 5-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter to extend the Irish’s lead to 21-6 was his second of the season:

While it’s probably too late for Tyree to catch Estime on the stats sheet, it’s unlikely he will dwell on it, certainly not this late in the season. This game against Navy and the next one against Boston College should provide him with plenty of opportunities to open his game up. That’s not to say he won’t do anything when the Irish visit USC, but he might as well take advantage of his opportunities against inferior opponents. Irish fans on Twitter are happy he’s doing it regardless:

Notre Dame has found itself trading touchdowns with North Carolina. It’s a little surprising given how little success the Irish have had on offense for the first month of the season, but we’ll take it. The question is whether they can survive a blow-for-blow game for 60 minutes. The answer to that will come soon enough.

After a game-tying score by [autotag]Michael Mayer[/autotag], the Irish took the lead on a 30-yard play-action touchdown pass from [autotag]Drew Pyne[/autotag] to [autotag]Lorenzo Styles[/autotag]. The Tar Heels responded quickly when Drake Maye hit J.J. Jones for a 43-yard reception to the Notre Dame 3-yard line, then found Josh Downs for his second touchdown of the game three players later. The game wouldn’t stay tied for long as a series of big runs and a couple of nice passes got the Irish to the 1. It was from there that [autotag]Audric Estime[/autotag] ran into the end zone to put the Irish back in front.

The Irish made the lead 24-14 on a 40-yard field goal from [autotag]Blake Grupe[/autotag], but here’s how Twitter reacted to the go-ahead score:
