Notre Dame Will Take Advantage of Stanford's Weak Pass Defense

The secret is out.  Notre Dame can once again pass the ball with excellent results. 
After Jimmy Clausen threw for a career high of 275 yards, no one will ever doubt the air game again, nor will any opponent underestimate the talented receiving core that Coach Weis has developed by recruiting and hard work over the off season. 
Purdue lined up with the intent that they would shut down Golden Tate, aka the “Golden Weapon”.  They managed to keep him fairly quiet. If you consider 64 yards and a touchdown quiet.  However, they seemed to have forgotten about freshman Micheal Floyd, who had his career day with six receptions and 100 receiving yards. 
Grimes also had a good day and scored a touchdown and did Rudolph the TE.  All of those plays and some more besides will have be active against Stanford this Saturday, else there may be tears in Irish Eyes.
