Down three with just a few minutes remaining in the game, Notre Dame was pushing the ball deep into Louisville territory and had a chance to take a late lead with a go-ahead touchdown. Facing second and goal from the nine yard line, it appeared the Irish would at the very least tie the game and send it to overtime. But Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson was sacked on second down, and threw incomplete on third. Then kicker Kyle Brindza missed a chip-shot field goal, and down went Notre Dame. According to fantasy sports app Pivit, the field goal is the costliest play of the week, but the whole series is a disaster, in an interesting way. It'd be the second week in a row the Irish screwed themselves during crunch time, extending their losing streak to three games after a promising start to the season.
