I can't wait for Love's first carry that only goes for 4 yards. "tHe StAnFoRd DeFeNsE HaS cOmE tO pLaY tOdAy!!""
Sadly I won’t have to listen to that douchebag as I have to attend a three stooges film festival!

Pitt was a top 10 rushing defense and Love made them look silly. I'm sure Love will get his on Saturday. Stanford is respectable defensively at 49th according to FEI, and 25th against the run, but we've played several overall defenses and run defenses, specifically, who are better. USC is ranked 51 btw, so about level with Stanford FWIW.

Their passing D is 133rd in the nation....out of 134 teams. So I'd love to see them load the box and see what happens lol
Would love to see the opportunist version of our D against Syracuse show up for this game.

As much as I want him to win the Heisman, I hope we don’t just run Jeremiyah into loaded boxes. Stanford is solid against the run (like their only actual strength) and this could turn into an annoyingly tight game if we don’t successfully throw the ball down the field.

Are they actually successful against the run? Or are they successful against the run due to teams throwing on them, because they’re terrible against the pass?

Gonna be a long ass day but let’s roast some cardinal and not give the committee any reason to leave us out. If we win 50-14 you can’t justify Texas being ranked 16th jumping to 9th

Hope the boys are as focused as they were last week and travel hasn’t had any effect on them. I know we are better than Stanford on every single level but regardless of how we feel as fans about this rivalry, it’s a rivalry. Treat it as such, & let’s have a game like we did last week. If the unthinkable happens beer is on me.

This is going to be probably the minority but I know everybody wants Jeremiah to win the Heisman and so do I but I'm sorry I do not want that to dictate the direction of the game from the get go. Bottom line is to win and win in a dominating fashion. I think if we play smart offensively there's a bunch of points out there and Jeremiah will get his, just don't force anything.

I agree and I think MF and the team with their "Team Glory" mindset also agree. They're not going to force feed Love, they haven't all year. Love only got 8 carries last week, he just maximized them.

Family Thanksgiving with the wife’s family today. Turkey, prime rib, old fashions and hate watching Michigan. Then it’s off to work this evening where I will be able watch the game in silence in my office. Going to be a good day.
I wish I could have breaking into Marcus’ house and “housesitting” as my “job”.

Yep. I missed the Georgia game but watching A&M last night was so annoying. We'd shut them down now. If only we had figured out our defensive backfield by then...


What are the chances we get left out after winning tonight?
We can't drop four spots without losing right? Especially when the whole world knows we're a top 2-3 team right now.

We don’t need to drop 4 spots. Need to be in the top 10 so just 2

Given the unusual timing and reviews vs Pitt, wondering if we are going to see bs calls vs ND tonight
