Did you miss Part 1? Get caught up there first.
ND, trailing by 8 points, takes possession on their own 2-yard line following the Pitt punt.
When does Notre Dame play the immunity idol?

Notre Dame’s 15-play drive stalls when Everett Golson throws an interception in the end zone. Pitt takes over with four minutes to play, but an incompletion, sack, and a run out of bounds gives the Notre Dame offense one final chance from midfield…
