Matt Vassar Stanford 31, Notre Dame 27. Notre Dame is going to be a tough out. Even with C.J. Prosise out, they still have so many offensive weapons and so many ways to burn you, so I just don't see Stanford leaving this Notre Dame team in its dust like Stanford had so many other teams this season. That said, Notre Dame's rush defense is only mediocre, and this should allow Christian McCaffrey to put up a good number of rushing yards and continue to make his case for the Heisman when everybody is watching him play against a top ten team.
