Michigan's Robinson racks up 502 total yards to beat Irish

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Denard Robinson capped another electrifying performance Saturday by running for a 2-yard touchdown with 27 seconds left, sending Michigan to a 28-24 victory over Notre Dame.

Robinson also had an 87-yard TD run and finished with 502 total yards offense, easily eclipsing the Michigan quarterback record he set against UConn (383) a week earlier. He carried 28 times for 258 yards - also a Michigan quarterback mark - and two touchdowns and passed for another 244 with a TD. He completed 24 of 40 passes.

"Man, I didn't even know that," Robinson said of the records. "Our offense came together. The offensive line blocked, the receivers catching, everything was clicking . . . I'm a team player and I don't look at stats."

"He's a tough kid. That's the one thing that stands out," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. "You run a quarterback 25 times, you got to have toughness."

Notre Dame's Dayne Crist, who missed most of the first half after being banged up on an opening TD drive, hit Kyle Rudolph with a 95-yard TD pass to put the Irish ahead with 3:41 left.

But Robinson then led Michigan (2-0) on a 12-play, 72-yard drive, scoring the winning TD himself.

Notre Dame (1-1) had one last chance from the Wolverines' 27 with six seconds left, but Crist threw the ball out of the end zone on the final play.- AP
