November 5, 2005: Notre Dame found a way to win again. Tennessee found a way to lose again. It’s been the story of the season for the two teams as the Irish continue to look like they’re getting closer to being an elite team and the Volunteers continue to look increasingly mediocre.
The Volunteers looked as though they might be able to rally for a victory Saturday after coming back from 18 points down to tie the score at 21. But Brady Quinn completed a 73-yard pass to Jeff Samardzija to set up the go-ahead touchdown and spark the eighth-ranked Irish to a 41-21 victory Saturday.
