VIDEO: Notre Dame's C.J. Sanders shows off his speed

Head coach Brian Kelly has talked about how this year's Fighting Irish is the most athletic team he's coached at Notre Dame, and C.J. Sanders showed us on Saturday exactly what Kelly meant.

After Stanford marched down the field on the opening drive to take the early lead 7-0. Sanders took the kick-off, made one defender miss, then shifted gears and took it 93-yards for the touchdown.

With Notre Dame playing in its biggest game of the year, the freshman isn't new to the big stage. The California native was a child star with roles in the movie Ray and television show Six Feet Under.
