No. 8 Irish fight off upset-minded Toledo

Jack Coan hit Michael Mayer for an 18-yard touchdown pass with 1:09 remaining for the third lead change in a wild fourth quarter and No. 8 Notre Dame held off determined Toledo, 32-29, on Saturday in South Bend, Ind.

The victory preserved a 25game home winning streak for Notre Dame (2-0) and came after Toledo (1-1, 0-1 MAC) had taken a 29-24 lead on freshman quarterback Dequan Finn’s 26yard bootleg TD run with 1:35 remaining. Finn split playing time with sophomore Carter Bradley, who threw for 213 yards.

Coan, who threw for 366 yards and four touchdowns in Notre Dame’s season-opening 41-38 overtime victory at Florida State last Sunday, shared playing time with true freshman Tyler Buchner.

But he directed the threeplay, 75-yard scoring drive, which took just 26 seconds with the aid of two Toledo penalties.
