Notre Dame’s dominating performance against Georgia Tech for little drama after the first few minutes of the game but it didn’t mean there weren’t still incredible moments.
With Notre Dame leading 48-0 in the third quarter, what can best be described as “a perfect senior day moment”, occurred.
Watch the play here
Georgia Tech looked like they were about to end Notre Dame’s shutout bid and faced a third down deep in Irish territory, only for Isaiah Foskey to force a fumble that was scooped up and returned for a touchdown by senior captain Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa (MTA).
If anyone deserved to score on senior day, it’s hard to argue anyone did to the same degree as MTA, who’s father died just before the season began.
The social media world understandably reacted quickly to the play. Here are just some of the best reactions:

No one deserves that TD on Senior Day more than Myron Tagovailoa-Amosa.

Senior Day magic right there. So happy for Myron.
Foskey blocking for his teammate was beautiful. So athletic and talented.
