One other note from the post-game transcript. In the middle of the 4th quarter, Stanford had 3 and 2 on the ND 3. Stanford threw a screen pass gave the ball to Taylor that ND seemed to have perfectly read which resulted in a 7 yard loss. Apparently the Stanford players heard a whistle and stopped playing. But the whistle came from the crowd.

There's also this nugget.
Quote: Yes, the third and one going to my left. We ended up on a four or five-yard loss. The whistle came from the crowd. I don't know what can be done about it. I've heard from many people it's happened here a few times. Once again I don't know what can be done outside of maybe stopping the play. But I'll check the rules and talk to the officials about what can be done there just to, you know, we'll see. Once again I'm not going to comment on what the officials said and I'm not going to comment on what I hear back from the league. I know enough about that; that's a question that we have to get the answer to.
Q. What did your players say to you about how that affected?
COACH SHAW: They heard a whistle. Heard a whistle. Stopped playing.

There's also this nugget.
Quote:Q. You had a pass completion that went to the review booth and ruled it incomplete, and they moved you back four yards; did you notice that happening? You were on the Notre Dame 48 and they moved it back to the Stanford 48.
COACH SHAW: I did notice that.Â
Q. Did you say something to them at the time?
COACH SHAW: Yes. I did, but I can't make them -- I mean -- and they put the ball on the wrong hash. There's nothing else I can do about it. I'm not going to comment on the officials.
