The greatest touchdown that never was

In a game where Notre Dame scored five touchdowns, it was one the Fighting Irish didn’t score that might have been the most important one.

“What was the referees’ explanation for why the flag was thrown? The NBC broadcast crew noted that since Kiser took the snap from close to center, the offensive linemen lined up needed to be wearing numbers 50-79 to be in legal position. On a traditional punt formation, the offensive linemen blocking can be any number combination.” In other words, we got jobbed by the Zebras!
