Notre Dame lead the series, 23-14, including last year's 56-23 Irish victory. Notre Dame is 13-5 when playing Stanford at home. Beginning this season, Stanford is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, in which most other Irish sports are a part of.

Sometimes boring can be progress. And that’s exactly what Notre Dame accomplished on Saturday against Georgia Tech.

Notre Dame won its fifth straight game and improved to 6-1 on the season thanks to a convincing 31-13 victory at Georgia Tech. It was a much-needed win for the Irish, who tied the longest winning streak of Marcus Freeman's young tenure with the win.
