It was Davie, not Ty and it was Jackson, then he starts Eric Chappel against USC instead of Arnaz
Battle.
I don't know what these guys are thinking, pretty sure that was Carlyle Holiday on last play vs FSU
which is why Dillingham played next week vs BC and we lost..looking for some video now.
Jarious Jackson. Taking an intentional safety in the back of the endzone trying to run out the clock

Sorry, was not Willingham era though.

My initial thought was Carlyle Holiday as well. I was just trying to remember
if I was correct about an ND QB being injured in the last moments of a game just trying to run a clock out.
Somehow, I thought it was during a Navy game in the Willingham era.
I must be remembering it wrong, can't find anything on it.

Willingham had only 2 QB starters
Carlyle Holliday - He did get injured during a run, and Pat Dillingham had to finish the game, with bad results.
Brady Quinn - Right guy, wrong coach
As the others have stated, it appears you were referring to Jarious Jackson, who was supposed to take an intentional safety at the end of the LSU game. It was a true screwup, and one that cost us the USC game (and a Bowl Coalition game berth). Even though he was playing in the Gator Bowl, he was so hesitant during the first three quarters that we had already lost the game by then.
Why do I recall Dillingham winning the game in relief?...against MSU?

Correct, that he did win the MSU game, but he blew it against BC
You're entirely correct that he did throw that winning TD against MSU (almost purely by accident), but when he came in relief of a banged up Holliday against BC, to say he had a bad performance is a bit of an understatement.
I can still firmly remember that awful shovel pass he tried to throw, that got picked off and run back for a pick-6.
As below..JJ at home against LSU under Davie. I was there. We won the game, but lost the season.

I liked Jarious Jackson. Chappell and Battle backing him up, were not ready for next up USC. Ugh.
I looked up Jarious Jackson after responding to this thread. He has had a long career in the CFL...playing then coaching...nothing earth shattering, but he is still there coaching, which is more than you can say for many.
Jarious Jackson injured himself taking an intentional safety. Is he the one you are thinking of?
Aw crap. Third place.
Yes That's right. Thanks!

JJs injury cost ND a win in series, losing 10-0
The offense was futile without JJ, who I think had put 39 points on board in win over LSU.

And cost us the bowl game
Jackson was so conscious of having just recovered from that injury that he played scared.
By the time he got over his feat, he was finally able to start racking up some points, but by that time (later in the 2nd half) it was already too late.
