A Notre Dame fumble on the opening kickoff against Louisville gave the Cardinals an early 7-0 lead — and the Fighting Irish faithful heartburn.
Notre Dame fans probably feel a bit better after the Irish responded with an effective drive that included a fourth-down conversion and was capped off by a 6-yard touchdown run from Jeremiyah Love.
The touchdown drive took 12 plays and 75 yards. Quarterback Riley Leonard hit Jayden Thomas for 5 yards on fourth-and-three to keep the drive alive, and Leonard had a key 12-yard run one play before Love punched it in.
Notre Dame and Louisville are now tied at 7 with 7:22 left to play in the first quarter.
