Utah Vs. Notre Dame: Utes Fall In South Bend, 28-3

For their last act of Week 11, Notre Dame seems content to sit on their hands and their lead. Their first drive of the fourth quarter remains the Cierre-Wood-and-Tommy-Rees show, and they convert one set of downs but punt with 12:50 remaining in the game.

Utah takes to the air, an unfortunate necessity for a team playing catch-up, since Jordan Wynn and open receivers can't seem to connect via football this afternoon with any sort of consistency. He hits Shaky Smithson for 13 yards, Luke Matthews for nine, and Jereme Brooks for 20 over the course of a five-minute drive that runs from Utah's 23-yard line to Notre Dame's 15 and ends on an incomplete 4th-down Wynn throw.

The Irish unwisely try another three-and-out just to throw the Utes off track, but Utah can't make anything of their remaining four minutes, and Notre Dame gives it to Robert Hughes to wind down the clock. Final score from South Bend: Notre Dame 28, Utah 3.
