Notre Dame Fighting Irish running back [autotag]Jadarian Price[/autotag] used some fancy footwork to avoid being pushed out of bounds as he completed a 65-yard touchdown run against the Florida State Seminoles.
Price initially appeared to have stepped out of bounds — and the play was blown dead around the Florida State 5-yard line — but replay review showed that Price managed to keep his foot from touching the sideline. The sideline shuffle was ruled a touchdown by the officials.
No. 10 Notre Dame leads 14-3 with 14:35 remaining in the first half.
Price’s run might help a Notre Dame offense that has struggled to get both the passing and running game untracked. The opening drive was effective but Notre Dame has struggled to move the ball since then.
The touchdown capped off a 3-play, 84-yard drive that took 1:05 off the clock.
Notre Dame is hoping to put a struggling 1-8 Florida State team away early to avoid any chance of being upset at home.
