Who To Watch
Stanford at Washington (Sat 4:00pm ET FOX)

Stanford quarterback Kevin Hogan
Notre Dame football is back in prime time on Saturday against the Syracuse Orange, and before kickoff you should wet your whistle with this Pac-12 matchup. The Cardinal travel to South Bend next week, and you can get a quick preview as they play Chris Petersen and the Fightin’ Purples of Washington.
Kevin Hogan, the current signal-caller for Stanford, only played sparingly during the overtime ND-Stanford 2012 tilt, and last year Irish fans saw what their fully-functional offense (Treefense?) could do.
