Notre Dame comes home at 5-0 after a 37-26 win at North Carolina, and the offense has found several ways to pester defenses. CJ Carr completed 21 of 29 passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns in Chapel Hill, while Jonaz Walton added a career-high 120 rushing yards. The Irish have scored at least 37 points in four of five games and have won 15 straight by double digits with Carr starting.
Stanford arrives at 2-3 after a 57-3 loss at Wake Forest, where the Cardinal managed 197 total yards. Davis Warren had opened the season with 167 pass attempts without an interception before that streak ended in Winston-Salem. Stanford has also lost 13 straight road games. Notre Dame won last year's meeting 49-20 and has taken three straight in the series. SportsLine has the Irish winning 48-8.

Carr has thrown 13 touchdown passes through five games, and the offense is averaging 41.2 points per game.
Stanford's road form is the larger concern. The Cardinal lost 35-7 at Duke before falling 57-3 at Wake Forest, extending the program's road skid to 13 games.
