Stanford beats Notre Dame 16-14 for first FBS win in year

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- , Tanner McKee passed for 288 yards, Casey Filkins scored a touchdown and Joshua Karty kicked three field goals as Stanford ended an 11-game losing streak against FBS opponents, beating Notre Dame 16-14 on Saturday night. The Cardinal (2-4), who blew a two-touchdown lead against Oregon State a week earlier, put the game away when Stanford safety Jonathan McGill broke up a pass by Drew Pyne on fourth-and-7 from the Notre Dame 25-yard line with 1:04 left. It was Stanford’s first win against an FBS opponent since beating then-No. 3 Oregon 31-24 in overtime on Oct. 2, 2021. “We needed that. We really did," Stanford coach David Shaw said. "Early in the week, I anticipated it being really tough to get our guys going again and it was not.” Shaw said the Cardinal didn't let the near-miss against Oregon State make them give up hope.
