Notre Dame will play host to annual rival Stanford next week and the two teams couldn’t be coming from more opposite places. The Irish knocked off No. 16 BYU in Las Vegas on Saturday night in the Shamrock Series game they dominated statistically although the scoreboard didn’t reflect it.
Notre Dame has won three in a row after dropping its first two of 2022 and has a reeling Stanford team up next.
We already knew Stanford wasn’t good, but its ability to snatch defeat from the hands of victory reached an unreal level Saturday night against Oregon State.
Stanford was in control of their late-night home affair with the Beavers for the majority of the contest. Even leading by five with just over 20 seconds left, the Cardinal giving up 56 yards and a go-ahead touchdown didn’t seem likely.
But this isn’t David Shaw’s Stanford squad from a decade ago. This is a Stanford team that has fallen on hard times and become a Pac-12 bottom feeder. A Pac-12 bottom feeder that found an incredible way to lose. Check it out below.
