1. on both sides of the ball stanford is better on the line, without a doubt, we may have 2 guys combined that would start for stanford. 

If this is true, how can you reconcile that with your prediction of ND winning? I hear a general rule of thumb that the better team up front is going to typically win the game. If Stanford's OL is better than ND's DL, that gives time to throw and lanes to run. If Stanford's DL is better than ND's OL, then Golson gets sacked and the RB's don't get into space. How does ND win?
