The ninth-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish (9-2) hit the road this weekend for a Saturday showdown with the Stanford Cardinal (4-7) at Stanford Stadium.
Notre Dame stumbled out of the gate with back-to-back setbacks against Miami and Texas A&M, but ever since then, the Irish have been on cruise control. They ripped off nine straight victories over Purdue, Arkansas, Boise State, NC State, USC, Boston College, Navy, Pitt and Syracuse to surge to a 9-2 mark through 11 games.
Their latest outing against Syracuse was nothing short of a demolition. Notre Dame stormed out to a 35-0 lead by halftime and never tapped the brakes, rolling to a dominant 70-7 victory.
Stanford’s path has looked much bumpier. The Cardinal slogged to a 3-4 start, with their early wins coming against Boston College, San Jose State and Florida State. Losses to Hawaii, BYU, Virginia and SMU made consistency hard to find. Things didn’t get easier either, the Cardinal then dropped games to Miami, Pitt and North Carolina, tumbling to 3-7 through their first 10 contests.
However, Stanford finally enjoyed a bright moment last week against Cal. Holding a slim 17-10 lead entering the fourth quarter, the Cardinal closed strong with two more scores to secure a 31-10 rivalry win.
