22 DECEMBER 2019 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED Lenzy put it at midfield. On fourth- and-three from Stanford's 29, Book rolled out and found an opening for a 26-yard scramble to the 3-yard line. Feature Performer: Notre Dame's defense, led by junior rover Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, forced three-and- outs on all three Stanford possessions that totaled 22 yards in nine plays. Stats: The Irish outgained the Car- dinal 158-22 in the third quarter to take a 352-300 lead in total yardage. Notre Dame had 251 passing yards and 101 rushing yards. Notes: Notre Dame received the second half kickoff and drove 51 yards before having to settle for a 43-yard field goal attempt by junior Jonathan Doerer that sailed wide right at the 10:46 mark … With 10 seconds left, Stanford's Michael Wil- son fumbled a punt that senior long snapper John Shannon recovered at the Stanford 48-yard line. FOURTH QUARTER: NOTRE DAME, 45-24 Top Moment: With 41 seconds re- maining, Irish senior defensive end Khalid Kareem recovered a fumble in the end zone forced by fellow senior end Ade Ogundeji on Mills. Ogundeji had scored a touchdown earlier in the season versus Virginia on a strip-sack forced by a third se- nior defensive end, Julian Okwara. Feature Performer: Limited to 101 rushing yards the first three quarters, Notre Dame totaled 89 on the ground in the final 15 minutes, highlighted by a 28-yard scamper by junior Jafar Armstrong and a 24-yard dash by Lenzy versus a tiring Cardinal de- fense. Those two plays set up sopho- more running back C'Bo Flemister's one-yard touchdown run with 5:10 left that upped the score to 38-17. Stats: The Irish ended up with a 445-394 advantage in total yards, fin- ishing with 255 passing and 190 rush- ing. After Stanford dominated the first half time of possession 19:40 to 10:20, it was almost the exact opposite in the second half for the Irish: 19:37 to 10:23. Notes: With 13:36 remaining, Do- erer converted a 42-yard field goal to increase Notre Dame's advantage to 31-17 that was set up by Shannon's fumble recovery at the close of the third quarter … Stanford broke its scoring drought to pull within 38-24 with 1:54 remaining on a nine-yard touchdown run by Cameron Scarlett to conclude a 62-yard drive. ✦ ND STAN FIRST QUARTER STAN Tremayne 5-yard pass from Mills (Sanborn kick) 11:26 0 7 Drive: 7 plays, 75 yards, 3:34 ND T.
