Under the Dome
1996
The most recent year when Notre Dame scored three touchdowns faster than it did in 3:29
of the fourth quarter this Sept. 14 in the 31-24 comeback victory at Purdue (nine- and 82yard touchdown catches by DaVaris Daniels and a 34-yard interception return by Bennett Jackson). During
a 40-point second quarter in a 60-6 rout of Pitt on Nov. 16, 1996, the Irish tallied three touchdowns and
20 points in just 2:18: a one-yard run by Robert Farmer (6:31 left in the second quarter), an 83-yard punt
return by Allen Rossum (5:30) and a 74-yard punt return by Autry Denson (4:13).

Force), Larry Conjar (1965, Army) and Neil
