I just feel like every year some people say we are going to destroy Stanford because they are replacing a bunch of guys and it never happens. I will be thrilled just to win by 1.

We all should be! I just think this year will be different because they have to replace a QB that started multiple years; that is a lot different than having to replace a running back or a couple receivers. Also, the 2016 Irish offense will probably be better than the 2015 offense and we all saw what the 2015 offense did to Stanford. I'll take Notre Dame at home, under the lights over Stanford by a couple touchdowns

Every year Stanford is supposed to take that step back and they don't. Like him or not, Shaw has a pretty good program in place.

Not a good name for a DB lol.

Tori Hunter, ESB, Kizer, Zaire and company you have your assignment now for this game.

Continuing to hear John Reid and Ben Edwards names is really pissing me off.

It'd be great if every commentator in America quit using the word "Moxie" to describe 75% of quarterbacks.

Standford looks bad there d can't stop the run I think Zaire may be the better guy against them

That's funny I disagree, personally. I think kizer back their spreads them out creating bigger running lanes.

Zaire and a jumbo package plays more into Stanford strengths IMO.

I agree. The last thing we want is to give them number advantages at the line. We need their linebackers to have to cover, our linemen in one on one battles and finding ways to make them beat us in space.

Offense seems extremely mediocre with the OL taking a step back. But they looked bad against Northwestern last year, too. Tough to tell from one week but this team has 10 points of offense against a mediocre Big 12 defense.

Stanford with 7 sacks.

The last one came with a 4 man rush.

Hot Sports Take:

Considering how terrible K-State is on offense, and how ineffective they've been at getting McCaffrey involved on their own offensive side, Stanford is laying a bigger egg than Tennessee did last night.

EDIT: Instant jinx, but I stand by my general premise. No way Stanford makes it to South Bend unbeaten, considering their schedule.

Stanford has a lot of work to do. I was expecting Stanford to win by about 20

I honestly don't know if McCaffrey is incredibly overrated or an absolute beast. Huge play after lookin ordinary all game.

Tough to light it up when the defense is waiting for you in the hole. Their line has work to do.

If your Stanford buddy ever comes back to the board and talks about their crowds being anything but embarrassing, ban him. There are huge blocks of empty seats in that stadium for the world to see... in a game that wasn't decided until the last 2 minutes.

Absolute Joke.

K State fans made more noise than the Stanford people

Yeah, Stanford came out of the gate slugglish last year too. I expect they'll be better by October, but I see no reason why we shouldn't win it after what I saw tonight.

Yeah I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about Stanford and MSU after tonight.

Neither have the horses they're used to. They're depending on too many 3 stars to be who they're being billed as.

Should be two wins.

I wrote in another thread: of all ND's future opponents Army looked the best today.
