I'm pessimistic; not sure Nunes or Toilolo can come close to repeating their performance against Arizona. My best hope is continued improvement in the run game with better use of Young.
ND will probably move the ball pretty well but I expect them to stumble with some INTs and poor throws as well. Defense has to avoid giving up the big play; I'm not confident they can do so. I'm hoping they can hit Golson/Rees enough to force some really bad decisions. If the defense can put up a touchdown somehow, I think that's the sort of thing Stanford will need.
I think ND will get something like 27, 28 points offensively.
