Wayne Lyons, No. 8 Stanford hold off No. 25 Notre Dame

STANFORD, Calif. -- Tangible evidence of a job well done. It's a phrase Stanford coach David Shaw often preaches to motivate his players, referring to what they can show they've accomplished -- not what others might say they have or haven't. At the end of another grueling regular season, Shaw and his team has plenty of proof for success. Now they hope for a little more. Wayne Lyons intercepted two passes by Tommy Rees late in the fourth quarter, and No. 8 Stanford held off No. 25 Notre Dame 27-20 on Saturday night in the regular-season finale for both teams. The Cardinal (10-2) captured the Legends Trophy -- the kind of evidence Shaw covets -- given to the winner of the series. And they'll get a chance for an even bigger piece of hardware when they face No. 13 Arizona State in the Pac-12 championship game next.
