Notre Dame lost an eight point lead in the fourth quarter before rebounding in the last two minutes to outlast the upset-minded Toledo Rockets by 32-29 on Saturday. Jack Coan hit Michael Mayer for an 18-yard score with 1:09 remaining to retake the lead, and Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa ended Toledo’s last ditch hopes moments later with a strip sack of Carter Bradley. Linebacker JD Bertrand recovered the ball and the Irish escaped despite surrendering 14 points on turnovers.
Both teams deployed a two quarterback rotation with positive results. Coan began the game for Notre Dame and ended it by engineering touchdown drives capped by passes to Mayer.
