No. 3 Notre Dame got on the board early at home against the Stanford Cardinal.

Running back Nolan James Jr. took the ball in from two yards out to cap off a 4-play, 18-yard drive that took 1:42 off the clock.

It was all set up when defensive lineman Boubacar Traore forced a fumble while sacking Stanford quarterback Davis Warren, a fumble that Notre Dame linebacker Jaiden Ausberry caught.
