No. 9 Notre Dame has struck first against the Stanford Cardinal. Who else but running back Jeremiyah Love has punched it in for the Fighting Irish?
Love, a Heisman Trophy candidate, had several key runs on Notre Dame’s opening drive, including two 18-yard gains. It was the final play of the drive, a two-yard push to the end zone, that got the Irish on the board.
