(AP) - Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said the formula against No. 13 Stanford is simple: the fourth-ranked Fighting Irish need their best players to play their best.
''If they do that, they're going to win. So it's a different kind of mentality going into this game, that our really good players have to step up and play really well,'' Kelly said. ''They can't drop the ball, fumble the ball. They know that. I don't have to preach it as much as they know going into this game that they have to take care of the ball and they have to play really well.
