Quick Recap: Notre Dame plays better for a close win over Cal, 24-17

The strange tale of Notre Dame’s 2022 football season continues.

The struggling Irish offense looked dead in the water early against Cal. Drew Pyne started the game off with bad incompletetions, mishandled plays, and poor field awareness. Of course — Cal didn’t do much themselves.

The Irish nad Bears exchanged 7 punts before the Golden Bears finally got it within field goal range — a 45 yarder that Longhetto missed. Two plays later, however, Drew Pyne fumbled the snap away to the Bears. Cal capitalized with a 4 play 33 yarsd touchdown strike to go up 7-0.
