Oklahoma State leaned on strong second half defense all season, and needed to do so once more.
The defense came through again.
Oklahoma State held Notre Dame scoreless for the first 28:55 of the second half before allowing a late score. The stellar defense allowed the OSU offense to score five times and take a double digit lead as the Pokes held on for a 37-35 win.
Jack Coan had a fantastic first half at quarterback for Notre Dame. The Irish signal caller tossed four touchdowns and 342 yards on an efficient 24-of-33 in the half as the Golden Domers went up 28-7 late in the half.
