Notre Dame vs Stanford Predictions

Okay, Ian Book had his warmup game so now is the game we find out if he has the QB job for the rest of the season.

We also need to see much more production from our receivers, namely Boykin and Claypool. If they don’t produce, they should sit. The OL must really step up this week.

Stanford is going to try to stop the short passing game and force Book to go long. Okay, that’s what he should do and hopefully we have some down field speed receivers.

They have got to help Book out. He will be helped by having RB speedster Dexter Williams available – that should checkmate Stanford’s star RB Bryce Love.

Stanford has the same team they have every year. Excellent QB and RB as well as big Receivers.

QB KJ Costello has averaged 264 pass yards per game and he has 64% completion rate.

Bryce Love has put up 254 yards, but has been held to only 2 TD’s.

Stanford should have lost to Oregon, but had an incredible 4th quarter.

I’m looking for each team to cross the 30 point mark with ND coming out on top.

Notre Dame 37 Stanford 31
