The defensive highlight, however, came late in the first quarter when sophomore defensive end Andrew Trumbetti intercepted Wolford and returned it 28 yards for a touchdown. "I really don't remember the play. I just kind of blacked out," quipped Trumbetti, who started at defensive end because junior Isaac Rochell moved inside with Cage sidelined. "When I got to the sideline, I was re- ally worried about catching my breath. I thought I was going to pass out be- cause I was so excited and everyone was jumping on me. I think I forgot to breathe or something." With the win, the Irish finished 6-0 at home in 2015. "It's always great to get a win for your seniors in their last home game," Kelly said. "They certainly have left a great legacy here at Notre Dame with 21 home wins over a four-year period. No senior class has ever won more games at home — a great legacy to leave here. "I'm very proud of what they've ac- complished in their four years here, and certainly as a team very pleased with the win." ✦ NOTRE DAME 28, WAKE FOREST 7 Nov. 14, 2015 ✦ Attendance: 80,795 Notre Dame Stadium ✦ South Bend, Ind. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Tot.
