Notre Dame and Stanford square off in a battle of unbeaten, top ten teams this Saturday evening in South Bend. The Cardinal represent a familiar foe to the Irish, as the teams now play each other every year and a more intense rivalry has developed over the past two decades. Stanford has dominated lately, holding a 5-2 edge during the Brian Kelly era at Notre Dame, including the last three in a row. This contest will be nationally televised by NBC starting at 7:30 pm Eastern time.
Stanford has defeated conference rivals USC and Oregon already this month.
