Notre Dame @ Stanford 1pm PT Official Game Discussion Thread

[chaseball]

Stanford 2019 F/+ RK 84th.

Stanford 2019 FEI Rankings:
Defense 94th
Offense 90th

This should be a 3 TD romp at the very least. This Stanford team is just ahead of bowling green and new mexico in terms of team quality this season as the third worst team on the schedule in 2019.

Notre Dame should absolutely roll them. I've seen good Notre Dame teams go to Palo Alto too many time and lose for me to be overly confident, however.

Not favorable weather for what Irish do

 

[irish4life888]

Oh no, it's raining. You know our players and coaches hate the rain! I hope they practiced with the sprinklers on this week!

 

[irish4life888]

Stanfords recruiting lately reminds me of Willinghams recruiting. One year with 15 and one year with 17. In a couple year the cupboards will be bare. Just like ND in 2007!

So what's your prediction on the score?

No excuses....they shouldn’t be in the game past the first quarter.

how many starters on ND could qualify for admissions to Stanford!

 

[d1042]

meanwhile Rutgers is crushing PSU! early 3-0!

 

[michigaNDer#1]

Kelly has "that look" going on

 

[IrishHerb]

Wow. Stanford Stadium looks empty.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Not a good start. Looks like weather is Achilles heel.

All of them.

Which one? Didn't see him on TV

 

[IrishHerb]

Rain and Kelly don’t seem to mix well.

 

[Get Nasty]

Good to see Drew white come out and start absolutely horrendous ... they’re abusing him in pass coverage

I tried to tell people earlier this week... It's Notre Dame vs Stanford in Palo Alto. How often is this an easy game for Notre Dame?

They absolutely hate Notre Dame. It's senior day in Palo Alto and they're not going to a Bowl Game. They're going to empty their playbook at throw everything they have at ND.

Stanford is not afraid of Notre Dame. Never have been and aren't going to be any time soon.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Typical Stanford catch vs Notre Dame for a touchdown. Virtually identical as the catch made on Love last year.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Cutting up the defense so far with freshmen offensive linemen! Lols

So what bowl does 9-3 put us in?

Pinstripe!

 

[Fifthhorseman25]

Well....that sucked.

 

[Get Nasty]

Good to see Troy pride continuing awful form of 2019....
How do you not even jump?

I'm not willing to predict a loss yet. Judt a much tougher game than some of the delusional folks on the board predicted. Some of the same people that tried to convince me that ND was much more taltend than Michigan and was going to beat the. In Ann Arbor.

Stanford comes to play every year in this game. When ND beats them it's because they out execute them. Stanford comes to play ina big way.

Also a typical Notre Dame start on defense in a big game. Play it safe, keep everything in front of you, give them easy yards, get beat for a touchdown on a jump ball.

 

[NotreDame du Lac]

Quinn has to go

Quinn has to go

To the bathroom!

 

[IrishInOntario]

Par for the course in Palo Alto lol... Dropped wide open pass followed by a false start in a ghost town... Followed by a great catch and throw by Book and Kmet.

Not predicting a loss either. Just seems possible.

Very entertaining!

 

[BM16]

How are there false starts when there is no crowd noise?

 

[IrishInOntario]

Great screen. 2nd best one they've run all year, IMO.

 

[Yooper Irishfan]

Firat false start. Take a drink!

Nice play design on that Screen pass

 

[Shakin' Down the Thunder]

Finally a screen that worked!

Bad OL coaching. No discipline. No run blocking. Worst part of the team and should win the award for largest regression.

 

[lyonhawk]

That was easy.
