Blame the opponent's refs, Notre Dame uses the opposition's refs on the field at home.
That said, Notre Dame should not have won, but Stanford also shouldn't have been on the goal line. PAC 10 blew an obvious holding call on Nunes's big run in overtime, but that point is moot. PAC 10 blew calls all game, and this is nothing new. In '05 PAC 10 blew the Bush Push play, and here they rule in our favor.
Anyway, ugly game offensively for the Irish. Stanford's only TD comes from that fumble in ND's endzone, taking the sack for a safety would have been preferred. Impressive stand by the defense again as a whole, Stanford was still the more physical team though. Couldn't believe the rain decided to come back on that final drive of regulation...little worried when they got stopped that the field goal snap would go badly again.
I feel like this kind of just delays the inevitable. The offense is playing very poorly at home this year for some reason, they've been more productive on the road. That still doesn't bode well at Oklahoma though, the offense would need their best game of the year to come out with a win there, and I don't see it happening. BYU is no pushover either, and they'll come in focused after a loss against Oregon State.
