(MCT) — The package is called “Desperado,” and desperate times call for “Desperado” measures. And Pittsburgh lining up for a makeable, potentially season-eviscerating field goal in the second overtime Saturday qualified as a desperate time for Notre Dame.

So out went the Irish’s specialized “Desperado” kick-blocking unit. It included cornerback Bennett Jackson and receiver Chris Brown. Thus it included two players wearing the same number — a No. 2 emblazoned on both jerseys — and thus it was basically illegal, as players with the same number can’t be on the field for the same snap.
