Personally,  I have a bad feeling about this game.  Stanford's offense has some problems/concerns.  QB inconsistency is one of them.  Not having an every down RB is another.  Offensive play-calling is yet another.  And the game is at your house. 

On the other side,  Golson is back and productive for you.  Your offense seems to be working  (scoreboard!).  Provisionally,  Kelly has developed the ability to not go all purple and screamy and seems to actually be coaching his QB during games. Bummer. We considered all that yelling just wind at our backs.  Your recruiting has been consistent while Stanford is experiencing a bit of a hangover from the graduation of two outstanding classes.

Most of the trends are in your favor.  Dunno who will win, but I know that if ND loses, it will feel
like they blew a very good opportunity.  So, by logic,  I guess that means ND is favored and a win by you not unexpected.
