Stanford will indeed be in Love in Week 13.
Bryce Love originally injured his ankle in a Week 7 win over Oregon then aggravated it twice over the next month and a half, including last week against Cal. The injury also cost him the Oct. 26 win over Oregon State. While there was some question as to whether he would play in today’s game against Notre Dame, especially with a potential spot in the Pac-12 championship game next weekend on the horizon, the Cardinal confirmed Saturday that the running back will be on the field against the Fighting Irish.

Love is currently second in the country with 1,723 yards rushing, while his 8.8 yards per carry is tied for third in the country. He’s rushed for at least 100 yards in every game but one he’s played in this season.
Stanford will earn a spot in the Pac-12 title game if Washington beats Washington State in tonight’s Apple Cup matchup.
