Friends, it’s finally here — the regular season finale. It feels like just yesterday we were watching Sam Hartman debut in a huge way against some horrible teams to start the year, and now it’s the final game of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football season and our 8-3 Irish are about to take on the struggling Stanford Cardinal in the season finale on the road.
Stanford’s had a tough year, almost exclusively losing to any good teams they played but being feisty enough to challenge a few of them and even beat Coach Prime and his Buffaloes, which looks a bit less impressive now but for Stanford is still an impressive win in this first season under new head coach Troy Taylor.
