That brings to mind another ND game... by mkovac

I may be off base here, but I think I remember reading about an ND game under Rockne, where Rock told his team to stop scoring.

One of our running backs, or perhaps it was a defensive player who recovered a fumble, forgot about the directive and finally remembered it when he reached the one yard line of the opposing team. He stopped at the one yard line and just stood there, afraid to move another inch.

I guess he got tackled and when he reached the ND sidelines, Rock looked at him and said, "You know, since you forgot, you may as well have scored."

The Irish player said something like, "I'm sorry Rock. I forgot. I didn't want to go any farther!"
