STANFORD AT NOTRE DAME
When: 3:30 p.m., NBC
Broadcasters: Tom Hammond play-by-play, Mike Mayock analyst
The line: Stanford by 4.5
Why you should watch: A week after facing a coach who wasn't afraid to call a fake field goal in overtime, Brian Kelly faces a coach brash enough to call a timeout on an opponent's field-goal attempt when leading by 34 and to call for instant replay while up by 40 in the fourth quarter. Jim Harbaugh did both in last Saturday's 68-24 beatdown of Wake Forest. Sophomore quarterback Andrew Luck could follow Toby Gerhart as a Heisman candidate. Luck has passed for 10 touchdowns this season and ran for a 52-yard score against Wake. Stanford is allowing just 90 passing yards per game, but the Cardinal hasn't played a team that likes to throw as much as Notre Dame does under Kelly. His teams at Cincinnati had a knack for winning close games, something that Notre Dame still needs to learn. Stanford, meanwhile, is looking to build momentum before its game Oct. 10 at Oregon.
