NDL: S32W7 - Notre Dame (42) at Stanford (14)
Article By: As the Irish continue to put an opening week loss vs Georgia in the rear view and hopefully out of sight soon, they drove straight to California for a matchup against the Cardinal for the Legends Trophy.
The Legends Trophy honors both the winning team and the memory of the first game played between the two universities in the 1925 Rose Bowl game, which is considered by many as being played by more “Legends” of college football than in any game in history. The undisputed national championship of college football was at stake, and was described by a sports historian as “The Man versus the Machine.” Notre Dame had become feared and famous for speed, with a quartet of fleet backs. Stanford stressed power and counted on its roster a blond, hulking fullback playing on two injured ankles, numbingly taped. He was virtually unstoppable. The game’s heroes will be remembered as long as Americans play football... Knute Rockne, “Pop” Warner, the Four Horsemen and the Seven Mules, and “The Man” Ernie Nevers. Notre Dame was victorious, 27-10, in the 11th Rose Bowl held on January 1, 1925, which had an attendance of 53,000 and was the first time in radio history a Pacific coast event was broadcasted directly to the East coast.
Today, it was the Notre Dame Fighting Irish securing the win in the big rivalry matchup, as Riley Leonard was nearly perfect through the air, HB Jeremiyah Love went off for over 150yds and 2 scores, and the Notre Dame defense put in 2 as well. On that side of the ball, it was LB Kyngston Viliamu-Asa picking off 2 passes and housing 1, while S Xavier Watts took down 2 and house 1 as well.
Stanford was able to snag a late TD to bring the deficit to 28, with a final score of Notre Dame 42 - Stanford 14!
