Bottom Line
No. 9 Notre Dame may have found a long-term QB solution on Saturday amid losing a top 10 showdown, a realistic path to College Football Playoff contention and its 26-game home winning streak.
Undone by three first-half turnovers and limited production from a first-half QB tag team of Jack Coan and Tyler Buchner, the Irish cratered against No. 7 Cincinnati and its No. 2 pass-efficiency defense nationally, 24-13, Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium.
Sophomore Drew Pyne started at QB in the second half, and the move did spark at least some long drives and points.
