Northern Illinois stunned No. 5 Notre Dame 16-14 with a late field goal by Kanon Woodill on Saturday.

Woodill kicked a 36-yard field goal with 31 seconds left as Notre Dame couldn’t stop the Huskies after a second interception by Riley Leonard. It's Northern Illinois' first win ever against a team ranked in the top 10 of the AP Top 25.

Notre Dame’s schedule is so bad they might not make the playoff with another loss.

ND so overrated- could not believe they beat TAMU last week, though the Aggies are no great shakes....

It’s no longer college football. It’s portalball. I wonder how long it will be before midseason trades are allowed.

We’ll probably see more parity in college football. As long as you have a generous booster, your team can get competitive real quick.

I swear UND sold their soul to the devil back in 2009 when they had Obama speak. Every game since then I’ve watched them inexplicably pull their asses out of the fire and somehow win the game, even during seasons when their team isn’t particularly good. Could be the refs working their “magic” but it’s pry just Satan.

The homer ref. spotted the ball short of the first down on the last drive by N.IL forcing them to kick the go ahead field goal thereby giving ND time to try and kick the winning field goal.

That official knew exactly where he needed to be for N.IL to be short and unless the play resulted in a clear first down, N.IL was going to be short.

….and they failed to start the clock after that play which would have forced ND to use their last time out.

Arkansas vs Oklahoma State University was a great game too. I think the Razorbacks could have won it.

The interesting thing is that almost none of the NIU kids were portal players. They played their butts off and ND did not take them seriously.

Just watching the ND fans weep at the end of the game was fun.

Good- i hope they did...I’m not an ND hater but an obama hater...

Problem for ND is they cannot develop a QB- haven’t been able to do so for ages now...
