Tranquill Redeems Himself, Adams Capitalizes

DeShone Kizer slid. A Virginia Tech player hit him on his way down. It’s the kind of hit that has ended careers and ruined lives. Concussions are no joke.

He’s been the target of ire from a lot of Notre Dame fans for his play this year, but he was in the right place at the right time on this one. His interception put the Irish back on offense, and Josh Adams took advantage. Here’s what happened:
