The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Stanford Cardinal have met often over the years, but the 2024 matchup on October 12 enters a strange new world for this rivalry. That’s because Stanford now finds itself a member of the ACC, one of the dramatic conference shifts that helped to implode the Pac-12. The Irish will be focused on wiping away the bad memories of Stanford’s last visit two years ago when the Cardinal pulled off a stunning 16-14 victory.
Troy Taylor will begin his second season as Stanford’s head coach after struggling through a 3-9 campaign last season.
