In a back and forth game, Stanford and Notre Dame once again went down to the last play with Conrad Ukropina hitting the game winning kick on the last play of the game.
The Cardinal opened the game almost exactly as we suggested, moving the ball with Hogan's legs and passing the ball over the head of the blitzing Notre Dame front seven. Stanford jumped out early on a pass to Remound Wright chewing up about five and a half minutes on the drive. The ensuing kickoff, however, went for a touchdown tying the game as C.J. Sanders went untouched for the 93 yard return.
