Notre Dame - Florida State game. WOW WOW!!

Notre Dame, ranked #9, and the non rated Florida State team played a WHALE OF A GAME last night.
Florida State, the obvious underdog, fought back to tie the game at 38 all, and take the game into overtime. Florida State on offense after the coin flip (won by Notre Dame), has a play ruled a fumble, overturned on review to an incomplete pass, which moved the ball back to the 19 yard line. In comes the Florida State kicker (Fitzgerald) to take the lead by 3, a chip shot kick. He misses wide left. Notre Dame takes the ball on the 25 and their kicker nails the field goal to win 41-38.

Tough loss for State, I wouldn't want to be a guy named Fitzgerald on campus today, or perhaps the rest of the season. Although the final score doesn't reflect it, I think State outplayed Notre Dame, constantly came back against a superior team and State's kicker probably makes that kick 99 out of 100 times.

    Field goal kicking is the damnest thing, a team fights their guts out for 4 quarters and it all comes down to a man's leg.

    The first quarter or at least early on FSU had like minus 9 total yards until number 0 ran that 89 yard TD. Definitely a great game
