Watch Notre Dame RB make mesmerizing 97-yard touchdown run

Notre Dame’s 2026 season has taken a dramatic turn with a jaw-dropping play from running back Jonaz Walton, who electrified the Fighting Irish faithful with a 97-yard touchdown run against Stanford in the second quarter. The explosive play came as Notre Dame, riding a 5-0 record and fueled by a desire to reclaim their playoff standing after missing out in 2025, extended their lead over the struggling Cardinal.

The moment underscored the team’s relentless momentum, as they continue to push for a championship-caliber campaign despite turning down a bowl bid earlier this year—a bold statement of their ambition for a College Football Playoff berth.

Walton’s record-setting run, which began just three yards into Notre Dame territory, showcased both his speed and the offensive firepower of a squad determined to leave no doubt about their dominance. The touchdown not only highlighted Walton’s individual brilliance but also reinforced Notre Dame’s status as one of college football’s most formidable teams midway through the season.
