COREY ROBINSON SHINES IN CLOSE DEFEAT Sophomore wide receiver Corey Robinson not only caught what ap- peared to be the game-winning touch- down, but on that same drive his catch and dive past the first-down marker on fourth-and-18 extended Notre Dame's upset bid. That, coupled with a pair of first- half touchdown grabs, made for the most eventful game of Robinson's young career. "In the past, [sophomore wide re- ceiver Will Fuller] has been the really, really big receiver for us, and I've been able to get opportunities late in the game," Robinson said. "So I'm always ready whenever they need me to come up and make some plays. That was my mindset going in." FLORIDA STATE GAME NOTES NOTRE DAME VS.
