Audric Estimé scores 4 TDs, No. 17 Notre Dame routs Stanford 56-23

STANFORD, Calif. -- , Audric Estimé ran for a career-high 238 yards to go with four touchdowns, and No. 17 Notre Dame overcame three first-half turnovers and beat Stanford 56-23 on Saturday. Estimé, the first Notre Dame back to have 200 or more yards on the ground since Dexter Williams in 2018, had scoring runs of 39, 6, 5 and 25 yards in his fifth game this season of 100 yards or more. The 225-pound junior broke the school record for rushing touchdowns in a season with 18. Allen Pinkett had the mark previously with 17 in 1984. Estimé also moved up six spots to No. 11 on Notre Dame's all-time list with 2,321 rushing yards. He’ll have at least one more game in a Notre Dame uniform before deciding whether to return for another year in college or head for the NFL. “What a tough, physical, special football player,” Irish coach Marcus Freeman said.
