Christian McCaffrey will not play tonight against Notre Dame. McCaffrey was banged up against Washington State last Saturday and did not return to the game with an apparent hip injury. Stanford coach David Shaw said in his press conference earlier in the week that he would probably not decided if McCaffrey would be out this week until game day.
Reports had been floating around the internet for most of the day, but Stanford sports information director Alan George confirmed it on twitter that McCaffrey would not be playing tonight.
Stanford still has speedy sophomore Bryce Love at running back as well as Cameron Scarlett who has seen sporadic touches as well this season.
