Notre Dame defense vs. Stanford offense

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish is known for having a strong defense in college football, ranking highly in significant categories. Marcus Freeman, although he may have his skeptics, is generally successful in leading the defense. On the other hand, the defense needs to make stops more frequently when necessary.
Meanwhile, Stanford’s offense has weaker stats, strugling in both passing and running. Their offensive struggles, in part, have kept them from qualifying for a bowl game. This doesn’t bode well for the Cardinal, especially with ACC membership on the horizon.
In terms of specific statistics, Notre Dame is ranked third nationally in passing yards allowed per game, while Stanford ranks 56th. Notre Dame is also tied for third in passing yards allowed per attempt, whereas Stanford is considerably lower at 92nd. Additionally, Notre Dame ranks 36th and Stanford 107th in rushing yards per game, and Notre Dame also holds a slight edge in rushing yards per carry. Lastly, Notre Dame ranks seventh in points allowed per game and Stanford is significantly worse, sitting at 111th. This means that the Notre Dame defense is significantly better than the Stanford offense.
