Notre Dame Gets Good News at Receiver

Promising freshman receiver Joey Getherall will return to the Notre Dame lineup Saturday against No. 19 Stanford after spraining his right knee in the season opener.

Getherall has earned something rare, becoming the first true freshman starter on opening day since Mike Kovaleski in 1983.
