Bettors sweat out an overturned TD and a near epic Hail Mary at the end of Notre Dame's win over Cal

Bettors went on a roller coaster ride in the final seconds of Notre Dame’s 24-17 win over Cal.

The Irish closed as 13.5-point favorites over the Bears and the total closed at 41.5. Those are important numbers to know ahead of reading how the end of Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman's first win as a head coach transpired.

Cal got the ball with 1:03 to go trailing by seven and drove down to the Notre Dame 29 with less than 30 seconds to go. As QB Jack Plummer went to escape pressure on a third down, he appeared to fumble the ball as he was going to the ground.
