The Game
Notre Dame outplayed Florida State the entire game to the tune of a 31-17 lead with 1:39 to play in the fourth quarter. The offense had hung its shoulders around their jr. back Lee Becton who had yet another 100+ yd afternoon. With 1:39, Ward drove Florida State down the field, and hit Kez McCorvey on 4th-and-20 for a touchdown. The pass bounced off of Notre Dame safety Brian McGee and into McCorvey's hands. Notre Dame then three-and-out on their next possession, giving Florida State one last shot. In just three plays, Ward had led Florida State to the Notre Dame 14 with three seconds to play. On the last play of the game, Ward rolled out and had his final pass attempt batted down by Notre Dame cornerback Shawn Wooden, giving the Irish a 31-24 victory.
