Notre Dame’s opening drive was a clinic in patience and power 💪☘️ — 11 plays, 66 yards, 6:14 off the clock. Jeremiyah Love punched it in from 2 yards out after back-to-back 18-yard bursts 🚀. Irish lead 7–0 and Stanford still has zero yards of offense. ND owning the line early. 🔵🟡

As always, solid notes from @dgoold.bsky.social and his weekly Write Fielder newsletter. Love the quotes from Cardinals players from the Game 7 winning clubhouse of the '67 Series.
