The Notre Dame Fighting Irish beat the Northwestern Wildcats 31-21 Saturday night, and even though I usually bask in the glory of victory... there were more than a few things that bothered me about this game.
Mostly... I couldn’t fathom what Pat Fitzgerald was thinking when he grabbed Jerry Tillery by the jersey and turned him around.
I’ve watched the game 3 times (live and 2 replays) and I kind of breezed past this incident during the replays because I saw the clip a ton of times. It still bothered me, so I went back to that play to try and piece together something that would make sense.
