It's obvious Stanford will score their points, Notre Dame doesn't have an answer for a balanced offensive approach (they shut down Michigan State's run-first approach, but flopped when Michigan State spread the field even in the slightest out of their sets).
Can Notre Dame score enough points to stay in the game and force some turnovers? That's the only question. Play mistake-free football (Michael Floyd I'm talking to you

) with no dropped passes or fumbles and don't blow defensive assignments. The offense has improved each game, Rudolph will continue to be dominant and cause mismatches, Riddick has awoken, he has all the potential in the world, Floyd will always demand a double. TJ Jones was nonexistant last week because Michigan State didn't respect Floyd and roll coverage as much as expected, but I think Stanford will.
I'd say this is a 45-35 Stanford victory. But that's why they play the game, we're finally starting to see some wrinkles in the offense, and I'm excited to see the next step.
