Notre Dame 38 Stanford 17 – Recap and Highlights

This ND beatdown of undefeated Stanford and their arrogant coach David Shaw was so sweet to behold especially with so many recruits visiting for the game.

ND completely obliterated Stanford on both sides of the ball rolling for 550 total yards and holding The Trees to 3 second half points.

You had to feel for Stanford QB KJ Costello who was battered and harassed the entire game.

Now Book – he has put the team concept into the Offense once again throwing to 10 different receivers. Everybody showed up on offense and the OL was outstanding.

Book finished 24/33 278 yards passing and 4 TD’s. He also had 47 yards rushing. This was the best game plan since Kelly arrived at ND – thank OC Chip Long for that.

RB Dexter Williams returned in a big way going 45 yards for a TD the first time he touched the ball. He ended with 161 yards on 21 carries.

What kind of Defense is this? Everyone played superb from game ball player Jerry Tillery and the DB’s like glue on the Trees receivers. Tevon Coney had a pick and a sure TD but for slipping.

The only disquieting note is the number of injuries popping up. Alex Bars went down with knee issues.

Go watch this game again everything clicked against a top 10 rated team.
