Game Thread: Notre Dame 38, Stanford 31 (Final)

[timBUCK2]

Walker is the real deal. The Irish lean on him when Quinn has a bad day.

Still a great game going on here.
Nine point diff is much more interesting than 10 - cardinal needs one TD and one FG to take a lead.

Agreed. Stanford's putting something together here on the ground and through the air.

EDIT: ND stands strong in the red zone and forces Stanford to try a FG. It's good

1 for 10 on 3rd down for Stanford. Ugly.

FG cuts the lead to 30-24. Still in it. Gotta come up with a stop on defense.

What a difference a kicker that can get touchbacks on kickoffs makes. I sure hope that OSU's got a good one in the can. We just gave up a good one in Bryan Wright to tSUN.

 

[bucksfan79]

Your mean Wright?

 

[BuckeyeFan45]

Holding on ND. Lets see if that will stop their offense. The Stanford D surely isn't getting it done.

 

[timBUCK2]

These Stanford corners are aweful. They need to take their sunglasses off or something...

 

[bucksfan79]

Quinn should have got picked again there... :(

41-yard pass to Stovall.

Pathetic defense. Throw it deep, but short so the receiver has to come back or stop for the ball. The defenders will not see the ball. Easy reception.

 

[timBUCK2]

Why don't they just run that play for the whole game? Just chuck the ball up really high in the air 5 yards short of the receiver every time.

Maybe their corners just need contact lenses. They're probably just extremely nearsighted. :)

 

[bucksfan79]

Just a field goal puts this one away. Judging by the ND kicker, even one this short could be an adventure...

 

[BuckeyeFan45]

I think a blocked FG returned for a TD is in order.

I think a blocked FG returned for a TD is in order.

Hopefully.

Is there a reason why Stanford has wasted their 1st and 3rd timeout?

 

[timBUCK2]

Fresno just got spanked by Nevada. There goes the Ducks only "quality win."

OMG ND just missed another one. This is so sad...

Let's see Stanford's 2 minute drill.
