Stanford snapped an 11-game losing streak to FBS opponents behind Tanner McKee's 288 yards on 26-of-38 passing in a 16-14 win Saturday over Notre Dame at South Bend, Ind.

The Cardinal (2-4) last beat an FBS team on Oct. 2, 2021, when they outlasted Oregon 31-24 in overtime.

Notre Dame (3-3) gained possession with 2:30 left following a punt, but the Fighting Irish could not advance beyond its 25-yard line before turning the ball over on downs.

Drew Pyne was sacked and threw consecutive incompletions to end the possession with 1:04 left.

Pyne completed 13 of 27 pass attempts for 151 yards and a touchdown.

Notre Dame managed to overcome a 13-0 deficit in the third quarter by putting together consecutive touchdown drives.

Audric Estime's 10-yard scoring run capped a six-play, 75-yard drive with 6:22 left in the third quarter.

Tobias Merriweather, a true freshman, made a 41-yard touchdown reception - the first catch of his career -- on a pass from Pyne that completed a six-play, 60-yard possession with 14:53 remaining.

Stanford regained the lead, 16-14, on Joshua Karty's 43-yard field goal with 10:20 remaining.

Notre Dame then sustained a drive that included the Fighting Irish converting on a fourth-and-2 situation at its 46 with Logan Diggs' 6-yard run.

They got to the Stanford 43 before Estime ran for 22 yards but fumbled.

Stanford's Jonathan McGill made the recovery at the Cardinal 21 with 6:35 remaining.

Karty made field goals of 45 and 42 yards previously to help Stanford take a 13-0 lead.

The Cardinal scored a touchdown on their first possession of the game when Casey Filkins ran into the end zone from 2 yards.

Filkins rushed 91 yards on 32 carries.

Stanford overall had only 97 yards rushing on 42 carries with the longest run nine yards.

McKee's production, particularly throwing to Michael Wilson and Elijah Higgins, led the Cardinal.

Wilson had nine receptions for 66 yards and Higgins caught five passes for 81 yards.
