WHO? No. 16 Notre Dame (9-2) at Stanford (4-7).
WHAT? A chance for the Irish to get their first win at Stanford since 2007. Five games is not inherently that long of a stretch, especially since Notre Dame has won three of five at home. 3-7 in the last 10 is not exactly even, literally speaking, but this rivalry is far from lopsided.
Yet that bugaboo at Stanford has persisted, and persisted is the right word, because the Irish falls in the Bay Area have each come in a new and increasingly painful way.
