SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Stanford vs. Notre Dame looked like a marquee game before the season began.Its not drawing much midseason interest.

Defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder was fired three weeks ago, and the offense hasnt been able to come up with enough big plays late. Kelly believes the Irish need a win to get things going.They just have to break through. Theyre doing all of the things I am asking them to do. Theyve just got to go win, he said.It will be the first time since 2009 the Cardinal and Irish have played where neither is ranked.Other things to know about the Stanford-Notrre Dame:SLOWING MCCAFFREY: The Irish were successful in slowing McCaffrey last season, holding him to 94 yards on 29 carries with no touchdowns. Joe Ledley Wales Jersey.
