I don't see an official thread yet. Here's the prediction from the Pac12 Blog at ESPN:

Kevin Gemmell: This is still a critical game for Stanford. It doesn’t want to be heading into the title game with a loss, and if it does lose, and then loses to ASU, its bowl position could slip dramatically. A victory over a rival -- one that’s already beaten ASU and USC, by the way -- would go a long way. Stanford shouldn’t be resting on any laurels, and I don’t think it will. Stanford 31, Notre Dame 21.

Ted Miller: Notre Dame has been good enough to beat Arizona State, Michigan State, USC and BYU, but it also lost to Michigan and Pittsburgh. It's notable that two of those losses were on the road. So we're going with the homestanding Cardinal, who are unbeaten at home. Stanford 24, Notre Dame 20.

My prediction is Stanford 35, University of Nuns who Write Hate Mail to the LSJUMB 14

#partyinthebackfield is relentless against a second string centre and an immobile QB.  Irish QB has 50% chance of being knocked out of the game.  Gaffney churns out 150 plus yards.

How quick is Ree's release. I saw an interview with Murphy saying the Cal quarterback would be hard to sack because he got the ball off too quickly, but that they would instead have opportunities to bat down balls.

How quick is Ree's release. I saw an interview with Murphy saying the Low APR U quarterback would be hard to sack because he got the ball off too quickly, but that they would instead have opportunities to bat down balls.

I didn't see this comment, but my guess is that he was referencing how air raid style systems generally want the QB to get rid of the ball extremely quickly. Regardless of Rees's release time, his system isn't designed to do that (unless they specifically scheme for it, which they may) so the odds of getting some sacks are a lot higher just because you'd expect him to have to make a few post-snap reads, whereas I doubt Goff had more than one on most plays.

Last time we played vs. Rees as a starting QB in 2011 I believe Chase Thomas hit him so hard that he was pretty much done after the first quarter, fast release or not.

...first the nit...isn't Stanford the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends, since Lennay was supposed to have attended here?    :P

Now the prediction...

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

After last happy Saturday, we now have another game without BCS implications, but hugely important due to ND being our rivals in various fronts.

In the overall standings, with 3 games to go, Leftcoast has an almost definitive lead. Extra point and Griffin78 are on the lookout though, in case the leader falters.

My predictions is that we will win 24-17, ND's stopping the run, but Hogan making enough plays for 3 TDs. Rees will have a good passing game, but a few hits knocks him down a notch.

I included in the table the predictions from the other thread. I hope I don't miss any!
