P/CP Tangent: This game is as big for Stanford as it is for
ND.
P: Stanford has lost its last two "big" games (Rose Bowl and vs. USC) and has looked less than indomitable this year.
P: Stanford has a natural program inertia pulling it back towards mediocrity once its momentum slows
P: Stanford has a tough PAC-12 schedule ahead. They need to be good enough to beat a quasi-Top 10 ND team on the road, and they need to be able to show it
CP: This is not a conference game
CP: They lost their 2nd game of the year to ND in 2012 and still remained good
CP: They will be good for as long as Shaw remains coach there?
