Audric Estime capped his stellar collegiate career with a dominant performance as Notre Dame shook off its early miscues to crush Stanford by 56-23 on Saturday. Estime scored four touchdowns and ran for 238 of the 381 rushing yards the Irish hung on the physically overmatched Cardinal. Notre Dame actually trailed by 16-14 after 20 minutes of play due to three turnovers and inspired play by the hosts. Then the roof simply caved in on them.
Stanford took a quick 3-0 lead by taking the opening kickoff and reaching the red zone.
