Notre Dame will look to earn a competitive bowl game slot as they prepare to face Stanford on the road.
A win against Stanford to end the regular season will boost the Fighting Irish's chances at earning a competitive bowl game slot. After throwing for 285 yards with two touchdowns during Notre Dame's 55-0 shutout victory over Georgia Tech last week, quarterback Jack Coan will lead Notre Dame against the Cardinals.
Coan will continue to strengthen his connection with tight end Michael Mayer. Although both Coan and Mayer have struggled to stay healthy this season, Mayer leads Notre Dame with 663 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Coan will also utilize running back Kyren Williams, who leads the Fighting Irish with 928 rushing yards with 12 touchdowns.
Quarterback Tanner McKee, who has struggled with a leg injury throughout November, will look to snap a six-game losing streak against the Fighting Irish. He made his return to the starting lineup during Stanford's 41-11 loss to California last week and threw for 239 yards with two interceptions. Tight end Benjamin Yurosek leads the Cardinals with 566 receiving yards with two touchdowns followed by wide receiver Elijah Higgins, who records 491 receiving yards with four touchdowns.
