Congratulations, we’re a quarter of the way done since this countdown began 25 days ago in getting to the return of Notre Dame football.
75 days from now Notre Dame and Navy are set to play in Annapolis and although not everything will be right in the world by then, some normalcy will at least return.
Yesterday we celebrated Father’s Day and day 76 of the countdown by looking back at Allen Pinkett’s 76 yard touchdown run that helped upset No. 1 Pitt in 1982.
Today we look back just five years at one of the fastest players in Notre Dame’s recent history, making one of his more memorable plays in the blue and gold.
75: Yards on Will Fuller’s touchdown reception against USC in 2015
Outside of Fuller’s game-winning touchdown reception to save the day against Virginia in Week Two of 2015, perhaps his most remembered play at Notre Dame came early against USC that year. Trailing 7-0 early, Fuller ran past everyone in the Trojan secondary and straight to the end zone after being found by DeShone Kizer.

Notre Dame would win that contest 41-31 over their biggest rival and move to 6-1 on the season.
Fuller would finish the year with 62 receptions for 1258 yards and 14 touchdowns before being selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans.
