"Stanford storylines: Stanford plays its final game under interim coach Frank Reich before general manager Andrew Luck makes his first permanent hire. The Cardinal is coming off its best win of the season, 31-10 over Cal. Besides reclaiming The Axe for the first time in five years, that game ensured Stanford wouldn't finish 3-9 for a fifth straight season. Stanford is 4-1 at home but lost 35-20 to the only currently ranked opponent (No. 22 Pittsburgh)."
"Notre Dame storylines: After two close losses to begin the season, against Miami and Texas A&M, Notre Dame has won nine straight games, all by double digits, to put itself in position to make the College Football Playoff. If last week's 70-7 win over Syracuse is any indication, the Fighting Irish may look to pile on against Stanford to make one final statement to the committee."
Stanford is 4-7 overall and 4-1 at home, playing its final game under interim coach Frank Reich before general manager Andrew Luck hires a permanent coach. Stanford recently beat Cal 31-10, reclaimed The Axe, and avoided a fifth straight 3-9 season, but lost 35-20 to No. 22 Pittsburgh. Notre Dame is 9-2 and ranked No. 9, having lost early close games to Miami and Texas A&M before winning nine straight by double digits. Notre Dame throttled Syracuse 70-7 last week and ranks seventh in scoring offense at 41.2 points per game. Key players include RB Jeremiah Love and freshman QB CJ Carr.
