30 SEPT. 18, 2017 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED LATE HIT PENALTY PROVES COSTLY Notre Dame led for much of the game, and it held a 16-10 advantage with more than six minutes left in the third quarter. Senior defensive tackle Jonathan Bonner started a Georgia drive off with a sack, and freshman quarterback Jake Fromm threw an incompletion on second down. On third-and-16, Notre Dame forced Fromm out of the pocket, and the freshman quarterback's pass to sophomore wide receiver Riley Rid- ley was short of the first down, but it didn't get the defense off the field. Sophomore end Julian Okwara was flagged for a late hit on Fromm, which gave the Bulldogs a first down. Four plays later, Georgia senior running back Sony Michel scored to give the Bulldogs their first lead of the game. "We were off the field — and subse- quently they scored," head coach Brian Kelly said of that momentum-changing play. "Those are the things that [can't happen] when it's a one-point game. "We'll learn a painful lesson from that. You hate learning lessons in losses, but sometimes you have to learn some painful lessons." ✦ NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing No. Gain Lost Net Avg.
