SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Notre Dame quarterback Dayne Crist was so determined to finish an opening touchdown drive last week against Michigan that he stayed in the game even though he couldn’t see out of his right eye.
Crist finished off the drive by scoring a 1-yard TD – seven plays after he took a hit from a helmet during a 19-yard run that led to the blurred vision.
Crist was eventually removed from the game when he apparently had trouble recalling a play or understanding parts of a phone conversation with offensive coordinator Charley Molnar.
He then sat out the rest of the first half. He returned for the second half and led the Irish to 17 points in their 28-24 loss.
Crist said Wednesday he’s fully recovered and ready for Saturday night’s game at Michigan State.
