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.

On Saturday afternoon, Notre Dame hit the road for the first time in over a month, heading south to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The Irish overcame early adversity, surrendering a turnover and trailing at the start of the second quarter.
