• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: While game up in South Bend, no offense in the first half, no defense in the second half, but it was the Irish who led the entire way in a 31-24 victory over number one Miami.
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Saturday and what was essentially a playoff game.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Notre Dame led 17 to three at the half-instration at 24-3 early in the third, in Miami came storming back.
• 1:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was over.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nolan James touchdown gave the Irish a 31-17 cushion, but the Hurricanes answered and threatened to get late, Luke Talich broke up a fourth quarter pass in the inzone, the 336 remaining to help.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Irish preserved the victory, CJ Carr was fantastic, 319 yards, and 3 touchdowns.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Notre Dame now 8-1 and looks in prime position to make the playoffs.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: If they had lost this when it was probably over,
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: In West Lafayette, Purdue led Maryland 12 to 7 at the half with four field goals.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the Taropin scored 21 points in the third quarter and beat Purdue 34 to 29 in West Lafayette.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ryan Brown threw for 296 yards, but Purdue settled for five field goals and surrendered touchdowns of 75 and 87 yards.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Purdue reached the Maryland 11-yard line with five seconds left, but Ryan Brown was sacked on the final play, Purdue now three and six with trips to Iowa, Indiana, and also a home game against Wisconsin remaining.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's sure looking like three and nine, we'll have more in a separate Purdue report reaction with Jake Dunn coming up sometime this weekend, and it's not gonna be very fun.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me just say that.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a rough weekend for boiler maker fans.
• 2:53

• 3:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: In FCS, Butler beat St. Thomas 41 to 14 to improve to 8 and 2 on the year, Michael DeLumo rushed for 143 yards and 2 touchdowns on just 8 carries.

  [SPEAKER_00]: and try and improve to 7 and 2, the 67, 69 to 7 win over all of it, forgot to mention Indiana State, lost 37 to 20 to Southern Illinois despite a school record, 99 yard touchdown run by Zechariah Prince.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: We move from South Bend to Mexico City where the Indiana Pacers fell to the Denver Nuggets 114 to 102 on Saturday night.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Pacers are now 3 and 7.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really, really good performance in the second half and I'm really sick of talking about good performances in losses.
• 5:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: 3 and 7 is not going to get the job done.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Second quarter was the difference.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Nuggets went on a 15 to nothing run during a stretch where Pacers just looked awful.
• 5:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Denver led by as many as 27 points in the Pacers made a game of it in the second half, getting within 7 points with 726 left.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: at a three pointer that looked like it was going in, they'd get it to four, didn't go in, and seven points is as close as they got.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pascal Siakum led the Pacers.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's been by far the Pacers' most consistent player this year.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Larry Nance Jr. first really good game of the year.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was five or seven from the three point line, finished with 15 points and really got the Pacers back in the game.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: We need more Larry Nass Jr. in the lineup, I believe.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: If he's a Zubot's had a pretty good night for 10 points and 12 rebounds against the best center in the league and he did a pretty good job on Nicola Yokech, who finished with 19 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists.
• 6:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tough when coming off that win, wins day and Memphis, I really thought they were going to win this game.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Next up is a trip to Dallas to take on Cooper Flag and the Mavericks that is an 8 o'clock tip on Monday night.
