Am Christian and welcome to the scout show on please be joined by Scott Kennedy of scout dot com we're talking upper Notre Dame the fighting Irish traveling out -- opted to take on the cardinal. Joining us from Irish eyes dot com has him on now linked him simply put. What's happened to the.

The ball well again. But the big loss at that point -- up and Upton. And they did not. No inspiration. I basically Internet there's no other -- you know. Yeah -- don't maintain her I just want -- and learned to -- all. Of their leaders and and make Notre Dame would be difficult even that it wanted an early off of it you know. Once again an entry here but noted defense.

No that's him there's a lot of speculation this could be the last regular season game -- Charlie Weis coaches. What's the team playing for now.

And really give up all your you know obviously picked up. All. Touchdown won in overtime and are you going to be up and does but comebacks -- I would I don't think the big well. There at Stanford and attributed -- consider and a mental activity right now.

fittingly this game's being played on the farm to things do you think the Irish can sneak out a victory and you. Well it put Charlie Weis out to pasture after this --

I don't think they can beat -- A difficult probably Billick and here are some -- order. -- understand. And give the other team that gives the -- Out to be able to about never would really count. And didn't do -- to double it will be. Chamber of -- Don't think it would be eager.

I think in for the carnal side things we bring in Jim -- the bootleg dot com Jim. Last week Toby Gerhart further enhancing his Heisman chant -- what do you think he can do get a Notre Dame defense has been a -- horsing around.

certainly is looking forward to what could be his final game at Stanford stadium. The man has already put nearly 400 yards in excess of the previous school record and still has it one or two games to play here. -- he feels good today he says that despite but -- looks like he's been in a bar fight he is ready to go feels much better than he did at the last and last season and I think they're looking forward to try and needs some of their era pre season goals by have a big game inspired him.

Tim last week cal running backs Shane Vereen had his way with the rush defense of the cardinal Jimmy Claussen and notre Dame's offense gets a different look what Stanford gonna do to stop notre Dame's offense.

Against Notre Dame it's a different challenge there. A lot quicker than what receivers in the country and obviously options. Leading the country and number statistical categories they can't. Clearly. Getting to quarterback obviously will disrupt the passing game I don't work going Q be shouting -- shouts so it's. It could well be a question of -- that is their running game but I continue to possess. The ball end and outscored Notre Dame which is what I expect -- on Saturday. -- into Stanford bounced back and beat the Irish the weekend well that's certainly going to be yet. A matchup of but Els and and an emphasis so 11 school lived by largely by the pats won largely by the Russia thinks effort balance ought to be good -- but. Andrew -- expected to bounce back from. From what for him was the sub par performance against cal. This is not a rivalry game in and despite the fact of two schools or enjoy the competition it's not the same -- rivalry -- I would expect business as usual focus -- playing at home. Where there are 10-Q and their last dozen games over those dozen games -- has 24 touchdowns. I expect him to have a few more on Saturday and lead cardinal victory.

Arjun thanks a lot we appreciate we heard earlier from two O'Malley from our shot he said that unit. Talking about this point whether or not Charlie -- gotta be back he's not to be back Titans game on too late. He's got his work cut out for a notre Dame's rushing defense eighty in the country taking until we get your heart Heisman hopeful.

Well this certainly isn't a good matchup for the Notre Dame defense they haven't really stopped anybody rushing the ball go on back to navy put up 300 plus yards pit -- 19 -- UConn went for about 19 years here now here comes -- Gary Hart Heisman Trophy candidate however Stanford hadn't stopped anybody either and score points hasn't been a problem for notre dame of for Stanford to win the game. They've got to feed Toby Gerhart and and a we said last week that that Stanford was oh and 31 Andrew look through and threw the ball more than thirty times thirty times or more on other alone for them because they did it -- they get into a shootout with Notre Dame. Notre Dame is about five plays away from being undefeated this year and also about four plays away from being to a not. So every game has been close. This game is going to be a shoot out Sanford hasn't -- a shoot out but I think like most and Saturday and game this comes down to the end but I like the ball control offense and Toby Gerhart Stanford home in.

Everything is -- teaching moment then coach Harbaugh is often that have to learn from last week only twenty carries for Gary Hart. Not even one carry on the final drive yet the big plan to screen pass but not one carry under two minutes left there in either money and -- throwing the ball they -- definitely winner fanatics during.

Well I think one of the things that hurt them as he's only had eight or nine catches on here in order -- yards a carry content at home that you saw what he was able to do as an -- weapon out of the backfield we carry the ball on the carry three defenders on the sidelines though. Toby Gerhart obviously the key to this game. Notre Dame. If they can slow him down and force a shoot out between Jimmy Claussen and a lot -- got a chance I certainly wouldn't say that they can't win this game -- Olympic couple's teams in the forties and anything. Wouldn't surprise me a bit I mean you've seen the way to stand for puts up points and -- 400 on a couple of pac -- opponents Notre Dame can put up points. Going to be issued out of your funnel and ask me greatly at the farm for Scott -- Christian CN next time -- got you.
