Notre Dame caps off successful season with bowl win
Andrew Hendrix had the best game of his young career with 360 yards and 4 touchdowns.
Andrew Hendrix had the greatest performance of his young collegiate career on New Year's Day against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. But it did not start off as planned. The Cowboys struck early and often to score 21 first quarter points. State quarterback Brandon Weedon gave the Irish defense fits all day. He passed for 564 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions.
After going down 21-3 in the closing moments of the first quarter, Hendrix called the entire team to a huddle on the sideline. "He fired everybody up for sure. He said this is the biggest game of our lives and we couldn't wait till halftime to make adjustments. We had to start right now and score at the end of this quarter" said wide receiver Michael Floyd. Well they did exactly that. In 30 seconds Hendrix threw two passes, one to Floyd for 37 yards and then hit T.J. Jones for a 31 yard touchdown.
Lo Wood picks off Brandon Weedon and returns it for six.
This fired up the defense as well. To start the second quarter, Lo Wood picked off Weedon and returned it 39 yards for six to make it 17-21 Cowboys. The defense made another stop and then Hendrix was at it again. He hooked up with T.J. Jones again on a 69 yard touchdown to take the lead 24-21. OK State answered on a Weedon touchdown pass to go back up 28-24. Hendrix then hooked up with Michael Floyd twice in the last three minutes to go ahead 41-28 into halftime.
Michael Floyd catches one of his two touchdown passes.
Brian Kelly used Cierre Wood and Jonas Gray to run the clock in the second half. Wood really got going in the second half scoring on a 80 yard touchdown run. He finished with 270 yards on the ground. The defense played much better in the second half and was able to limit OK State to 13 points. "It was a huge win for our program. Football never stops though. Got to prepare for next year" said coach Kelly. The future looks bright for the Irish.
