(El Paso,, TX) - It wasn’t exactly a “Rudy moment,” but it was pretty close.

On Friday afternoon former New Prairie quarterback and Notre Dame walk-on Chase Ketterer scored a touchdown for the Irish in the Sun Bowl.

With seven Irish players opting out of the game, Ketterer made the most of his opportunity. Notre Dame was having their way with Oregon State when Ketterer lined up in the backfield with 2:45 left in the game and scored on a six-yard run, pushing the final score to 40-8. The historic touchdown, giving the Irish their biggest margin of victory in a bowl game, was the first in Ketterer's career.

Ketterer, a senior, also was named the team’s Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year at the end of the season.
