NASHVILLE - Malik Zaire converted a 4th-and-9 on the ground into the red zone and capped off a 66 drive over eight minutes with a 12 yard touchdown toss to William Fuller as Notre Dame leads the LSU Tigers 7-0 early in the Music City Bowl.
Notre Dame chipped away in 15 plays against the SEC's best defense to take the advantage in search of their first victory in four contests.
Tuesday's contest is Zaire's first collegiate start after relieving starter Everett Golson in Notre Dame's season finale at USC.
Zaire is 5-of-6 for 34 yards passing with 16 yards rushing for the Irish (7-5), who are appearing in their fifth bowl game in coach Brian Kelly' fifth season, the first coach in program history to achieve that feat.
