STANFORD, Calif. -- Andrew Luck set the school record for the most career touchdown passes and eclipsed his own single-season mark, throwing for 233 yards and four scores to lead fourth-ranked Stanford past No. 22 Notre Dame 28-14 in his home finale Saturday night. Luck topped John Elways record of 77 touchdown passes and helped the Cardinal (11-1) build a 21-0 halftime lead. He has thrown for 80 touchdowns in three years and 35 this season. Tommy Rees threw an interception, lost a fumble and took a bruising blow to the ribs for Notre Dame (8-4) before getting benched. Andrew Hendrix threw for 192 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score in a second-half rally for the Fighting Irish that came up short. It wasnt the prettiest performance of Lucks brilliant college career. Still, he earned a rare place in Stanford history. The victory likely vaulted Stanford into an at-large BCS bowl bid for the second straight year -- with the Fiesta Bowl among the leading possible destinations -- but the program will not play for a major championship this season. The lone loss to Oregon put the Ducks in the Pac-12 title game out of the North Division and crushed the Cardinals dreams of a national title. Only another weekend of chaos at the top wouldve reversed course. Stanford coach David Shaw shined the spotlight on his program and his quarterbacks Heisman Trophy campaign with a calculated rip of the "flawed" BCS system this week. The Cardinals play matched his words for 30 minutes. For a while, though, it looked like a sloppy second half just might undo everything Stanford had worked for. Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly benched Rees in favour of Hendrix to start the third quarter, and the move pumped some life into a stagnant Irish offence. Notre Dame took advantage of pass interference and roughing the passer penalties for its first score. Hendrix threw a six-yard TD to Michael Floyd to slice Stanfords lead to 21-7 halfway through the third quarter. Floyd finished with 94 catches on the year, breaking the single-season mark of 93 set by Golden Tate in 2009. The Irish were driving for another score when Hendrix overthrew a receiver, the ball was tipped and intercepted by Michael Thomas. When Notre Dame regained possession, Hendrix was sacked by A.J. Tarpley for a 13-yard loss that sent another drive tumbling. Only room for one quarterback to steal the show. Luck quickly connected with Coby Fleener for a 55-yard TD pass to extend Stanfords lead to 28-7 with 5:40 remaining to put the game out of reach. Fleener also caught a 28-yard TD in the first half that gave Luck every major school touchdown record. Stanfords Senior Day belonged to the redshirt junior. Luck lobbed a fade to the short corner of the end zone to complete a three-yard score to Levine Toilolo, giving Stanford a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Even he had to hold back a smile running to the sideline to a swarm of well-wishes from teammates for the records-tying toss. But Luck lost his rhythm when a back-side blitzer closed the pocket, and he tossed a short pass that Darius Fleming intercepted and returned 35 yards. Notre Dame took over at the Stanford 10 after a 15-yard penalty on Fleener for a horse collar. Stanford stifled the Irish on consecutive plays and forced a 20-yard field goal that David Ruffer missed wide right. No luck for the Irish on this night. The only Luck belonged to Stanford. He followed with a 28-yard TD pass to Fleener. The tight end dragged cornerback Robert Blanton the final 10 yards into the end zone, sealing Lucks marks in the school record book. With the clock dwindling down before the half, Corey Gatewood intercepted a pass from Rees and handed Luck and the offence the ball with 1:38 left. Luck led a 10-play, 64-yard drive capped by an 11-yard TD pass to Ty Mongtomery with 10 seconds left to extend the Cardinals lead to 21-0. cheap china jerseys nfl .
