With all the hoopla surrounding Michael Mayer this season, it can be easy for Notre Dame fans to forget about Mitchell Evans. You might have forgotten about him anyway because he only made his season debut against Stanford. Finally, he had a chance to show his value late in the second quarter against UNLV. Drew Pyne set him up with a 21-yard run to the Rebels’ 1-yard line, and then, with Pyne having gone to the sidelines with a potential injury, Evans took a direct snap and found the end zone with ease:
Mitchell Evans scores from 1 yard out to extend the lead!
30-7 Notre Dame.

Maybe Evans hasn’t been able to do anything as far as what’s expected of a tight end these days, but you never know when your number is going to get called in any given situation. Evans took this particular situation and shined in the best way possible. It gave the Irish a 30-7 lead, and fans were grateful for it. Here are some of the things Irish fans said on Twitter after the touchdown:
Patrick Engel
High school QB Mitchell Evans with the TE sneak for a first down.
Wonder if Tommy Rees took that idea from the Dolphins, who have done it a few times with former Irish TE Durham Smythe.

That sneak was the start of my campaign for Mitchell Evans in the Wildcat. Move over, Belldozer

100% of plays should be Mitchell Evans running quarterback sneaks.
