Notre Dame Week 7 highlight: Aneyas Williams gets first career touchdown

The backups are in — and they’re still scoring for Notre Dame.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are up big over the Stanford Cardinal, and both teams just waited out an hour-long weather delay, so the backups are in.

And freshman running back Aneyas Williams has his first career touchdown after he ran the ball in from 19 yards out to finish off an 11-play, 60-yard drive that took 5:25. Notre Dame scored with 9:17 remaining in the game.

Notre Dame needed a win versus Stanford, and the Irish aren’t just winning but they’re piling up points as they make a case for a higher ranking in the polls.

Notre Dame running back Aneyas Williams warms up during a Notre Dame football practice at Irish Athletic Center on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024, in South Bend.
