On the opposite side of the end zone, sophomore wide receiver Corey Robinson watched helplessly, imag- ining a climatic pause worthy of the cinema. "I look behind me, and I see Ben by himself by five yards, just completely alone," said Robinson, who finished with four catches for 46 yards includ- ing two for 20 yards on the winning drive. "I'm telling you, it was like a movie moment, just watching the film." A movie would have ended on Koy- ack's catch. Instead, Stanford had a minute to mount one more scoring drive. With 11 seconds left, the Cardinal still needed to cover 51 yards to reach the end zone or 20-30 yards to get in field goal range for fifth-year senior kicker Jordan Williamson. Instead, pressure from junior safety Elijah Shumate and sophomore linebacker Jaylon Smith forced Hogan to heave the football downfield. An intentional grounding penalty led to a 10-second run-off on the clock, ending the game and starting a Notre Dame celebration. ✦ NOTRE DAME 17, STANFORD 14 Oct. 4, 2014 ✦ Attendance: 80,795 Notre Dame Stadium ✦ South Bend, Ind. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Tot.
