I thought the difference would be Northern Indiana Parochial College would have a couple guys who could make key catches down the field and Stanford doesn't. 

Difference in game: 

Eifert TD catch on 3rd and 18.
Riddick catch on lob down sideline.
Catch by Jones for OT TD. 

No Stanford receiver made no such plays.  I don't think it is all on Nunes.

The throw by Golson was very nice on the Eifert TD. And Riddick and Rees deserve credit for somehow connecting on the OT catch.

We have to give some credit to Notre Dame, though it does again feel like even a mediocre passing game would have resulted in a Stanford win.
