Quinn's favorite receiver this season has been Jeff Samardzija, whose 13 touchdown passes are tied for fourth most in the nation. Notre Dame is a heavy favorite on the road and Quinn and Samardzija could have a big day against a Stanford pass defense that is ranked 103rd in the nation.
South Florida (6-3) at Connecticut (4-5)
South Florida needs a victory against a slumping Connecticut team to set up a matchup with West Virginia for a Big East title and BCS bowl berth.
Look for the Bulls to rely on running back Andre Hall, who leads the Big East and is sixth in the nation with an average of 120.8 rushing yards per game.
South Florida has won three in a row and beat Cincinnati by 31-16 last week. The Bulls' lone conference loss came against Pittsburgh on Oct. 15. Connecticut started the season 4-1, but has lost its last four in a row and is coming off a 24-0 loss to Pittsburgh.
