Notre Dame lost in heartbreaking fashion to Ohio State Saturday night, and it was made all the worse with the college football world pointing out a glaring mistake made by the Fighting Irish on the most important play of the game.
The No. 6-ranked Buckeyes were down 14–10 on the final drive, and with just 10 seconds left, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka caught a pass on the 1-yard line to set up a Chip Trayanum game-winning rushing touchdown. Upon further review of the plays, there were only 10 Notre Dame players on both sequences.
After the game, Fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman addressed the costly mistake.
