“Shocking Loss: Notre Dame Football Icon Passes Away, Leaving Fans in Mourning”
On Saturday, the school announced the passing of former running back Eric Penick who rushed for 1,327 yards and 12 touchdowns in his career — winning a national championship with the Irish in the 1973 Sugar Bowl.
The most iconic moment of Penick’s career came that season when he took an 85-yard run to the house to give Notre Dame a 20-7 lead over USC.
