Social media reacts to Sam Hartman’s running, passing touchdowns

A 7-3 Irish lead nearly became 7-6 but for a blocked field goal by jason onye on a short field set up by a questionable no-call for targeting after Devyn Ford was hit hard and lost the ball on a kick return. That no-call should spark some debate among college football fans.

Regardless of whether targeting should have been called, Sam Hartman led the Irish’s offense back onto the field and did some work. A 50-yard run by Audric Estime ultimately set up a Hartman keeper that required only 5 yards to reach the end zone:

How many of you knew Hartman could leap into the end zone like Walter Payton if need be? Whether you knew that or not, it impressed all Irish fans. And if that wasn’t enough, he was able to get back to work quickly after Ramon Henderson’s interception on the second play of the Tigers’ ensuing drive. He needed only four plays to hit Chris Tyree for a 24-yard touchdown, extending the Irish’s lead to 21-3:
