SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -When Jamoris Slaughter saw fellow Notre Dame safety Zeke Motta having a problem with his helmet during the Michigan State game, he ran onto the field without even bothering to check with the coaching staff.
It might have been the best move seen in the secondary all night.
Injuries to Slaughter and backup Dan McCarthy left the Irish with essentially two safeties the last two games, both of which just happened to be losses. Slaughter and McCarthy are expected to play this weekend – perfect timing with No. 16 Stanford and Andrew Luck coming to town.
Luck has already thrown for 10 touchdowns this year – one more than Notre Dame’s entire team has managed – and his pass efficiency rating of 192.31 is third-best in the country.
Despite losing Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart, Luck has Stanford (3-0) off to its best start in nine years.
