came off the bench to rush for 123 yards and two touchdowns in Notre 54 27 victory had a long talk with Autry yesterday and I think on the right page Holtz said Holtz had benched Denson for the start of the game in favor of Randy Kinder just wanted me to protect the ball and try to make the big play every said Denson who scored on runs of 33 yards and 23 yards wanted to use every back anyway
