He recorded 186 tackles and 40 losses; snatched up 10 passes; and recovered five fumbles, and returned a blocked punt for 12 miles. In his final campaign at Notre Dame 2001, Patulski was named the team’s defensive MVP. Patulski recorded 74 tackles that was 22 more than the total from the season of 1970. 17 of those tackles resulted in defeats for the team in opposition. Patulski also smashed six passes and recovered a lost fumble. The 1969-71 Irish defenses rushing and defenses in total were as the nation’s top 6 for the entire period and its scoring defense was among the top ten in both 1970 and 1971.
