Watch: Coan finds Tyree to extend Notre Dame’s lead over OSU

A great read by Coan

The Irish want to start the Marcus Freeman era off with a bang and that’s exactly what they are doing. The offense scored on their first possession, then didn’t fare as well in their second. The third on the other hand didn’t see like it was starting out so well.

Two penalties on first down put the Irish behind the chains but they battled back, to get to a third-and-seven. The Oklahoma State Cowboy defense then brought the house on a blitz and quarterback Jack Coan made a savvy veteran move. He read the blitz and immediately checked down to running back Chris Tyree, who then streaked 53-yards to the house to extend the Irish lead to 14-0 midway through the first quarter of the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl.
