Twitter reacts to Notre Dame’s first touchdown against California
It’s turning into an accomplishment for Notre Dame just to reach the end zone. We haven’t been able to give you a lot of highlights this season because there haven’t been many of them. But the Irish were bailed out on a missed field goal from Blake Grupe on an offsides penalty against California. They took advantage of it, and Drew Pyne found Chris Tyree in the end zone to tie the game in the second quarter:

Irish fans have been desperate to talk about anything positive. The first quarter only featured punt after punt after punt, so that made it boring. When the Bears scored a touchdown off a fumble the Irish lost on a bad snap, it went from bad to worse. At least the Irish finally got on the scoreboard.
Here are a few Irish fans who expressed their gratitude for completing what’s increasingly becoming a difficult task:
Drew Mentock
The Notre Dame coaches were asked repeatedly this week if they'd get RB Chris Tyree the ball more often.
In the first two games, he had 12 offensive touches.
21 minutes into the game, Tyree has 56 yards from scrimmage on nine touches, including a 21-yard TD reception

Sean Stires
Chris Tyree came into the game averaging six total offensive touches per game. He had six touches for 47 yards, finishing it with the 21-yard TD catch on Notre Dame's first scoring drive of the game.
