Summary:
The quarterback play at Stanford has really dropped off with the departure of Kevin Hogan. Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey will look to continue his Heisman candidacy with another big performance. Last year he shredded UCLA for 369 yards on the ground. Stanford’s defense has been a top 10 unit in college football this year but they will go up against one of the best quarterbacks in the country in Josh Rosen. I think this will be a more defensive minded game as opposed to the offensive explosion last year. I like Stanford to win this one on the road.
