On ND's last drive, up 56-0, Chip Kelly momentarily thinks about kicking the field goal on 4th and short to give his kicker some practice. But, he reconsiders after realizing his kicker has worn his leg out after kicking off throughout the game.
I think you meant to say "Brian Kelly". Yes, this is the second Coach Kelly we will lose to this season. Unfortunately, it will also be the second straight home loss to ND and third straight total since 2018. We fortunately missed them in South Bend last year. The Irish victory in 2019 was the first time since 2007 that Stanford had lost to the Domers at home. The last time we won at home, it was a 38-20 shellacking of Kelly's squad. Well, that is not going to happen this year.
I also fear that Kelly is going to aim for a major blow-out. ND's largest margin of victory against Stanford was 57-7 back in 2003 (the perfidious days of Buddy Ball). Will it be that bad? I certainly hope not. I'm going 49-13. Bad enough, but better than the Utah beatdown.
I'm going into the game thinking the score will be whatever the opposing coach decides it should be.
Interestingly enough, the last time I can remember thinking that was the 2007 U$C game.
Of course, I realize the chances of us pulling off an upset in this one are just about zero.
Still, I am hoping we can give a better account of ourselves than what people are predicting.
