The Belldozer story continues with huge win at Notre Dame
Moments after the final gun, Oklahoma center Gabe Ikard summed up the status of his teammate who lead the Sooners to their 35-21 win over Notre Dame.
“The tale of the Bell Dozer keeps growing,” Ikard said.
He was referring to quarterback Blake Bell, who shrugged off cramping muscles to return to the helm in the fourth quarter to put the end to the Irish with a strike to WR Sterling Shepard — who streaked 54 yards to the end zone for a touchdown.
Earlier, Bell, with great protection from Ikard and the rest of the offensive line, found Lacoltan “Scuba” Bester for a 26 yard touchdown to answer Notre Dame’s only first half score.
Bell finished the day by completing 22 of 30 passes, for 232 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for 62 yards against an Irish defense that stymied the Sooners last year by holding them to only 15 yards rushing the entire game.
