HOT PURSUIT. All-American Ned Bolcar zeros in on Jamie Morris during the Michigan game. (Continued from page 136) They did. And the Irish almost came all the way back behind sophomore signal-caller Tony Rice, who sat out the 1986 season under NCAA Proposition 48. Rice put Notre Dame on the board with a 16-yard touchdown scamper, and used the option to lead the Irish to two more scores before it was over. A last minute drive fizzled when Rice ran out of bounds on fourth down. The final was 30-22. Brown caught a 10-yard pass against Air Force the next week in Colorado. That was all. For anyone. Holtz made it clear in Notre Dame ' s 35-14 win over the Falcons that he would live or die with the run as long as Rice called the signals. The sophomore was l-of-5 in the passing depart- ment, but scored two touchdowns himself as the Irish dominated on the ground behind their big blockers. It looked easy. Then a tradition continued. Forget the green jerseys the Irish have developed a new tradition when it comes to playing USC beat- ing them. Notre Dame won its fifth consecutive game against the arch-rival Trojans, this year by a 26-15 score. Southern Cal took the ball 70 yards for a touchdown on its opening drive, moving seemingly at will against the No Names. But the Irish held the Trojans scoreless from that point until the final minute of the game, and scored on runs by Rice, Brown, and Mark Green to earn the win. From a five-year streak over USC, the Irish moved on to extend their streak over Navy to 24 games. Scoring on its first five possessions, Notre Dame held a 35-6 edge at halftime and won 56- 13. Anthony Johnson scored four touchdowns on the ground, all in the first half. Brown, who frac- tured his ring finger earlier in the game, made an amazing catch to end the half when freshman quarterback Kent Graham threw a 51-yard prayer. That ' s how well things were going. But Boston College had upset in mind. The Eagles used sharp passing routes to pick apart the Irish secondary in the first half and took a 17-6 lead into the locker room. It looked bad for the Irish. But Holtz ' s plan for a big comeback wasn ' t exactly ordinary. He went to the run time and again. Green scored twice and finished with 152 yards, a career high, on 23 carries. His second touchdown came from two yards out with 5:25 left, breaking a 25-25 tie and giving the Irish a 32-25 victory. (Continued on page 140) FRESHMEN BACKS.
