By ALEX BARKER Sports Writer

Just one week after giving up the go-ahead score in the final minute against Michigan, the Irish defense once again found themselves with their backs against the wall, needing a late fourth-quarter stop to protect a three-point lead. This time, they got it. Senior safety Kyle McCarthy’s interception at the four-yard line with 1:10 remaining pre­ served a 33-30 Notre Dame victory over Michigan State on Saturday, breaking the Irish’s six-game home losing streak against the Spartans. “I think this is a huge step for our guys. Not necessarily for the program, but for the guys in the locker room,” said McCarthy. “We deserve this win.” Just a play before the inter­ ception, Notre Dame (2-1) dodged a bullet after Michigan State running back Larry Caper, who had beaten the entire Irish secondary, found himself wide-open in the cor­ ner of the end zone, but was unable to come down with a reception from Spartan quar­ terback Kirk Cousins. “After last week, how bad everybody felt in a very similar situation in the ending of the game, to make a play to QUENTIN STENGERZThe Observer change the outcome in favor of Irish safety Kyle McCarthy intercepts a pass from Michigan State quaterback Kirk Cousins with 1:10 remaining in the fourth quar­ us, I’m really, really happy for ter of Notre Dame’s 33-30 win Saturday, the first at home over the Spartans since 1993. those kids in there,” Irish coach Charlie Weis said. “It’s and he’s bringing other people end Kyle Rudolph’s 52-yard receiver, Blair White. what would prove to be one of nice to see how genuinely along with him.” grab.

COLEMAN COLLINS/The Observer Breaking the

streak QUENTIN STENGER/The Observer

The Irish defeated the Spartans at Notre Dame Stadium for the first time

since 1993, holding off a late Michigan State drive to secure a 33-30 win.

Senior safety Kyle McCarthy intercepted a pass near the Irish end zone with

1:10 remaining to preserve the win, his third straight game with a pick.

Junior quarterback Jimmy Clausen finished with 300 yards for the fourth

straight game going back to last season’s Hawaii Bowl, battling a foot injury

to throw for two touchdowns. The Notre Dame offense was dominant early, as Clausen completed his first ten passes en route to a 13-3 first quarter lead.

The Spartans quickly responded, however, taking a 17-16 lead into halftime.

Notre Dame took the lead back on the opening possesion of the second half

and again in the fourth quarter, as Clausen connected with Golden Tate for a

33-yard score that proved to be the winning points.
