Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees is know as "The Closer" because many times Rees has come off the bench to rally the Irish to victory.
In his final game as the Notre Dame quarterback Rees faced a Rutgers defense that's 122nd our of 125 NCAA FBS teams defending the pass.
Let's just say Rees took advantage of that completing 27 of 47 passes for 319 yards and to lead Notre Dame to a 29-16 Pinstripe Bowl win over Rutgers.
Here are the highlights, Thanks WatchND:
"He's so smart." Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly said of Tommy Rees. "You can go in and run a system with him. He's so bright. He just has the ability to pick up all of the things that we can do offensively."
With that performance Rees did not win the game MVP award. That honor went to Irish offensive tackle Zack Martin.
"I was giving Tommy a hard time," Martin said.. "I think he got snubbed a little bit."
Here's coverage from WNDU-TV, South Bend, Indiana with sound bites from Tommy Rees.

ICYMI: Notre Dame Starting QB: Gone (Updated)
It's good to be king.
But it's probably not so good to be Brian Kelly, a member of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish or now former starting QB Everett Golson.
That's because Golson is mysteriously "no longer enrolled" at the school.
The belief is that Golson is an academic casualty, but thus far the school, nor anyone else is confirming that "on the record". All the school would say is that he's "No longer enrolled".
Golson was pretty good this past year as a redshirt freshman, leading the Irish to the BCS title game, which they lost to Alabama.
Options are a bit slim for Irish coach Brian Kelly as prized recruit Gunner Keil bailed out on him over the summer leaving him with the questionable Tommy Rees and a couple other recruits to battle for the starting job on a team most pollsters will still over-rate whether they are any good or not.
((Updated 4:00 p.m 5/26--ESPN's Twitter feed states that according to Tom Rinaldi, Golson was suspended for academics and wants to come back))
