On the offensive: Stanford RB Tyler Gaffney grinded down the Irish defense for 189 yards and one TD.
Getting defensive: Irish LB Dan Fox set a new career-high with 15 tackles.
The number: 51. Career starts for Irish left tackle Zack Martin, a school record.
They’re still talking about: Tommy Rees had Stanford “on their heels at times” with checks at the line, per Irish coach Brian Kelly, but then threw picks on the last two possessions.
Looking ahead: A bowl game TBD, as the Irish wait to be wooed by a game with an open spot.
