The Irish made quick work of their next drive, scoring in three plays on a 67-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ali Beydoun to Preston Fryzel. They missed another two-point try, putting them up 12-7 with 1:06 left in the first quarter. The Irish then tacked on another touchdown on a 12-yard rush by Jerome Davis, but their special teams woes continued, as they missed the extra point kick.
