Stanford Offense Trending Down
Stanford is 1-2 in conference play and has lost 2 games in a row. In the first few games of the season, the Cardinal offense averaged around 30 ppg. They even had some close contests and a solid blowout win. However, in the past 2 games, they have scored 14 points or fewer and have been badly outplayed. The strength of schedule is becoming tougher for Stanford.
Recently, the Cardinal lost to Virginia Tech 31-7. The Stanford defense allowed points in every quarter, and the offense was shut out in the first half. While the rushing game was decent and their 4th-down efficiency was perfect, they turned the ball over twice and struggled to finish any promising drives. Their yards per play need to improve against Notre Dame, and they must take care of the ball.
Notre Dame on a Win Streak
Notre Dame has won three games in a row, and the offense seems to be trending upward. Additionally, in 4 of their 5 games, the defense has allowed 14 points or fewer. They have beaten one ranked team this season, defeating #15 Texas A&M by 10 points. The Fighting Irish have experienced a mix of close games and blowout wins.
Two weeks ago, Notre Dame beat Louisville at home, 31-24. The Irish offense scored 21 points in the first quarter. However, Notre Dame was actually outgained in all major offensive categories and converted only 2 of 10 on 3rd-down attempts. They also fumbled twice. Despite the strong offensive start, this was a sloppy game, and the two weeks of rest will definitely give them a fresh restart against Stanford.
Stanford vs Notre Dame Prediction
Stanford has already played a ranked team on the road and lost by 26 points. The offense hasn’t done much in the last couple of weeks, and it’s only going to get worse for them against more ranked teams. Notre Dame has one blowout win at home and two other close games. The Fighting Irish offense should be able to score 30+ points, while Stanford might manage only a lone FG or TD.
