The freshman Shane Buechele started at quarterback, but Swoopes, a senior, played a huge role in Texas’ running game with two scores and big runs that punished Notre Dame defenders in overtime. Buechele was impressive, with 280 yards passing and two long touchdown throws. Texas went ahead by 37-35 on D’Onte Foreman’s 18-yard touchdown run before Notre Dame blocked the extra point. Shaun Crawford returned it for a 2-point score that tied the game with about four minutes left.

Rooney, 30, made his 116th international appearance in Sam Allardyce’s first game as England’s coach. England’s overall appearance record is 125, by keeper Peter Shilton.
