No. 6 Notre Dame has gotten off to a strong start against No. 18 Army at Yankee Stadium in New York City.
After forcing the Black Knights to go three-and-out on the opening drive of the game, the Fighting Irish moved the ball effectively down the field on the strength of a run/pass mix and a couple of nice scampers by running back [autotag]Jeremiyah Love[/autotag].
The Irish then capped things off when quarterback [autotag]Riley Leonard[/autotag] found wide receiver [autotag]Jordan Faison[/autotag] for a 29-yard touchdown pass.
Leonard was 3-for-3 passing on the drive, which was 5 plays, 68 yards and took 2:17 off the clock. The touchdown was scored with 10:24 remaining in the first quarter.
