Notre Dame Fighting Irish quarterback Riley Leonard has distributed the ball around to eight different receivers against the Stanford Cardinal — nine, if you count offensive lineman Pat Coogan catching a deflected pass.
Tight end Eli Raridon’s first catch of the day ended up being a 5-yard touchdown reception that finished off a 5-play, 64-yard drive that burned 2:37 off the clock. Raridon scored with 1:29 remaining in the third quarter.
Notre Dame now leads the Cardinal 42-7.
Any concern about the Irish overlooking Stanford after a slow start seems to have evaporated.
