The Notre Dame Fighting Irish's football season was nearly turned upside down on Saturday, but they overcame a two-point halftime deficit to stun Virginia in a gritty 34-27 victory.
Cavaliers quarterback Matt Johns orchestrated a 13-play, 80-yard drive that was capped by Albert Reid's one-yard touchdown run with 1:54 left in the game. That put Virginia up 27-26 and appeared to secure an upset in Charlottesville.
But Johns' counterpart in DeShone Kizer stole the show. Filling in for an injured Malik Zaire, Kizer took awhile to get acclimated to the high-stakes situation, but he saved his best for last in tossing a remarkable 39-yard TD pass to Will Fuller with only 12 seconds on the clock.
