Notre Dame football at Stanford: 3 Cardinal to worry about in Week 13

Benjamin Yurosek, Tight End

The Cardinal have been struggling on the offensive side of the ball as of late, as they have scored only 31 points in their last three games combined. Early on in the season, they were putting up points in bunches, including back-to-back wins against USC and Vanderbilt that saw them go for over 40 points in each matchup.

On the offense, one player that has been a constant threat throughout the season has been tight end Benjamin Yurosek, who is fresh off a five-catch game against Cal this past week He has three games where he went over 90 yards, including a season-best 118-yard effort against Arizona State, and has also hauled in two touchdowns.

As the Cardinal look to get the ball rolling against this tough Notre Dame defense, you can be sure that Yurosek is going to play a big role in the passing game. The 6-foot-5 sophomore has the size, and athleticism to affect this game in a positive way for the Cardinals, and I would expect over five targets for him in this one.
