26 OCT. 29, 2022 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED of the plan Notre Dame special teams coordinator Brian Mason concocted af- ter studying UNLV on film. "Coach Mase put me in the right po- sition to run a long snapper to make a play," Foskey said. "We've seen the opening from the last couple games that UNLV showed, and we just took an op- portunity from it." Both times, Foskey lined up across from the blocker next to long snapper Rex Goossen's left with both his hands on the ground. Instead of trying to go through his blocker, Foskey stunted and looped around Goossen's right. Goossen turned left and found nobody to block. Notre Dame ensured no one from the right side of the formation could pick up Foskey by overloading it with rush- ers. UNLV had four blockers to Nich- ols' right, two on the line of scrimmage and two behind it. Notre Dame put five rushers on that side. In response, deep protector Kyle Beaudry moved from the left side to the right after the snap to give UNLV a fifth blocker there. Beaudry would have been the last line of defense on Foskey. Instead, he blocked linebacker Prince Kollie. Had Beaudry seen Foskey and blocked him, UNLV INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att. Gain Lost Net Avg.
