Watch: Pyne finds Austin to extend Notre Dame’s lead over Wisconsin

What a pass from Pyne

Down to their third-string quarterback in Drew Pyne, Tommy Rees the offensive coordinator didn’t bat an eye. Rees had confidence in his quarterback and didn’t abandon the pass with a short lead. He allowed Pyne to throw it around and it payed off.

The third-stringer went 5/5 and found Kevin Austin for the score to extend Notre Dame’s lead to 24-13 over the Badgers. Who would have thought that Pyne would have played, let alone made big plays along the way. Not many of us thought that would happen but it just did and Drew Pyne has made Irish nation extremely proud.
