Opponent Watch: Mora West Coast Football Edition

October 15, 2015 by IrishElvis

Each week in this space, we examine two things: Notre Dame’s strength of schedule (from USA Today‘s Sagarin rankings), and who Irish opponents are facing. For those of who want to scout future opponents, I’ll give you my recommendation for who to watch when you’re not watching Notre Dame Football.

Who To Watch

Stanford vs. UCLA (Thu 10:30pm ET ESPN)

The bloom may be off UCLA’s Rosen with last week’s loss, but the Bruins mah be seeing red again this week against a quality Stanford squad. Kevin Hogan has looked inconsistent early, but recent success suggests that the QB will stabilize and be quite passable when the Irish visit Palo Alto in Thanksgiving weekend.

Strength-of-Schedule Rankings

Last week, ND opponents went 5-6. On the year, ND opponents are a combined 37-27 (57.8%), with an average schedule strength of 41.
