Stanford Athletics Director Bob Bowlsby announced Thursday that Stanford’s football series with Notre Dame would continue through the 2019 season, extending the home-and-home format that began 14 years ago.
The 2011 game, scheduled for November 26 at Stanford Stadium, will be the 26th contest between the two perennial powers, with the Fighting Irish holding a 17-8 all-time advantage. But the Cardinal has taken the last two contests, including a 37-14 thrashing on the road in South Bend, Ind.
With the return of last year’s Heisman trophy runner-up, redshirt junior Andrew Luck, Stanford will look to build on the program’s recent success with new head coach David Shaw when the season kicks off in September.
