Doerer Has the Last Word

Jonathan Doerer drilled a 48-yard field goal with 17 seconds remaining to lift Notre Dame to a come from behind 32-29 victory over Virginia Tech on Saturday night. The Fighting Irish had trailed by 29-21 with four minutes left before Jack Coan came off the bench to lead two clutch scoring drives. His touchdown pass to Avery Davis and subsequent two point conversion to Kevin Austin tied the game at 29 with just over two minutes on the clock. Notre Dame got the ball back at their own 25 moments later before Coan marched them down the field to set up Doerer’s winning boot.
