Watch: Kyren Williams breaks a big run and score for Notre Dame

The offense needed some energy after stalling for a few series. Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees made a quarterback change, in came freshman Tyler Buchner to spell Jack Coan. Buckner’s running ability immediately paid off, ripping runs off of 26-yards and 12-yards.

Buchner then got the opportunity to put the ball in the air completing a pass to Braden Lenzy for 15-yards. That action made the defense spy Buchner as a threat to run, then boom, a handoff to to Kyren Williams and 43-yards later, the running back was in the endzone.

It was a much needed score, as Toledo had made two field goals to trip the lead to 7-6 before Williams long run. Take a look at the explosive jaunt by Williams to extend the Irish lead to 14-6 midway through the second quarter.
