No. 22 Notre Dame gives first loss to Michigan State

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame took advantage of a trick play that backfired, as well as four pass interference calls and a holding penalty that kept drives alive, to defeat Michigan State for the third straight time. The mistakes led to all of Notre Dame's points in the 17-13 victory, including two on the game-winning drive after a pass by Michigan State receiver R.J. Shelton led to an interception by safety Matthias Farley , setting up the go-ahead touchdown. Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said he couldn't ever recall so many defensive pass interference calls in one game. "I've been coaching 30-plus years, no. Never," he said. "I guess that's where we should stop." Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said he wasn't surprised by the calls because of the number of long passes the Irish attempted.
