He must have known some­ thing. The next day, the Irish punt return team, propelled by the sheer speed of Allen Rossum, broke the game open with three punt return touchdowns in the second quarter. Notre Dame never looked back as it raced to a 60-6 victory over an over­ matched Pittsburgh squad. Rossum’s two returns of 55 and 83 yards set the tone in a quarter in which the Irish racked up a modern-day record with 40 points in the quarter. “Once I see open field, I know I’m going to score,” Rossum said. “ I guess I broke a record (most kick returns in a season).
