Key matchups on both sides of the ball could swing momentum as Notre Dame aims to shut down these four Stanford difference makers.
Stanford’s Davis Warren has the arm to make Notre Dame sweat, coming off a 396-yard showcase against Georgia Tech. The Fighting Irish defense faces a serious test as Warren looks to find his go-to target, tight end Benji Blackburn, who leads Stanford in receptions and serves as a crucial chain-mover on short yardage downs.
Matt Rose’s return at linebacker and Darius Davis’s playmaking ability in the secondary add even more challenge for Notre Dame. Can the Irish ground the Cardinal offense, contain Blackburn, and avoid costly turnovers against Davis? Key matchups on both sides of the ball could swing momentum as Notre Dame aims to shut down these four Stanford difference makers.
