It looked like the game was over, after the Irish went for it on 4th down deep in Oklahoma State’s territory and came up short. The defense held, allowing just a field goal, which kept Notre Dame still somewhat in the game.
The offense needed to come up big and they did. A very quick 8-play drive that went 76-yards in just over a minute was exactly what the Irish needed. Quarterback Jack Coan found wide receiver Kevin Austin for a 25-yard scoring strike which brought the Irish within 2-points of the Cowboy’s and a little life still left for Notre Dame.
