Stanford's season has been beset by youth and injuries, particularly at quarterback. The Cardinal lost the Big Game to rival Cal last weekend so this is their opportunity to end the year with a respectable effort and look toward next season. One bright spot is that the Cardinal has held strong at home against quality opponents, defeating Washington and holding Oregon to 21 points. This is a potential flat spot for a Notre Dame club that wrapped up its home slate with a blowout of Boston College.

The Fighting Irish have developed a pretty potent passing attack thanks to quarterback Ian Book and receiver Chase Claypool. That duo will help the Irish put up at least 28 points, and the Stanford offense isn't explosive enough even break double digits.
