Sam Hartman QB vs. Ashton Daniels QB
Sam Hartman has become an indispensable member of Notre Dame Fighting Irish offense this season. His impressive stats of 183 completions out of 287 attempts, 2549 passing yards and 22 touchdowns showcase both his skill and leadership on the field. Hartman’s 63.8% completion rate and 8.9 yards per pass attempt average demonstrate his accuracy and ability to create significant gains through the air. His longest pass of 76 yards this season showcases both his arm strength and downfield vision. Hartman has not had it easy; he has been sacked 14 times, resulting in the loss of 106 yards, and has thrown 7 interceptions that provided opposing defenses with opportunities. Yet, his passer rating of 158.8 speaks volumes for his overall effectiveness and threat he poses to Stanford’s defense.
Stanford quarterback Ashton Daniels has experienced difficulty this year due to inconsistency; with just 176 completions out of 300 attempts totaling 2095 passing yards and 11 touchdowns as evidence of this performance. Daniels currently boasts a completion percentage of 58% and averages 7 yards per attempt – both respectable figures but well behind Hartman. Furthermore, Daniels has faced significant pressure from opposing defenses as evidenced by 23 sacks that led to loss of 139 yards. Notre Dame’s defense will undoubtedly find ways to exploit Stanford’s offensive line, however Daniels has shown glimpses of his talent by throwing long passes of 97 yards and posting an impressive passer rating of 124.8. Notre Dame will present him with an opportunity to showcase both resilience and tactical acumen on the field.

Prop bets on individual player performances, particularly on Estime’s rushing yards, could be lucrative. The over/under is trickier, but given both teams’ trends, leaning towards the OVER might be a sensible choice.
