SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Josh Adams scored on a 98-yard run, the longest scoring play in Notre Dame history, and defensive end Andrew Trumbetti scored on a 28-yard interception as the fourth-ranked Fighting Irish beat Wake Forest 28-7 Saturday despite struggling offensively.

Adams started and ran for 141 yards with Notre Dame's leading rusher C.J. Prosise sidelined while recovering from a concussion. Adams, who was fourth on the Irish depth chart in the preseason, posted his second straight 100-yard game and third of the season.
