[GATTACA!]

Stanford plays right into our biggest weakness. They absolutely have no way to exploit our shitty secondary their passing game is so bad. I'm actually way more optimistic than I expected to be. I think we will he able to score at will and they will have no way of keeping up.

Who is in town for the game this weekend? I'm rolling solo and looking for a tailgate to crash

I'll be there, although we're not doing a big tailgate this time. Probably will just eat at Legends. Should have some beer at least if you wanna hang out.

Finally someone who is paying attention to college football. Good post BGIF

Homie, BGIF is always on top of things.

I think our biggest on field defensive weakness is tackling. Especially at the back end. IMO, anyone who runs the ball well is not what we want.

David Shaw in his 6th year is looking like they might lose 5 games... BK isn't only coach he has a down year... CM is banged up.. QB play is terrible... I think If weather is good, this game comes down to the last play.. I will take ND at home to win

Stanford sucks, but not worse than Duke, Texas, or Michigan State. They're basically Michigan State with better athletes in terms of style. I thought we could sneak up on them but after back-to-back blowout losses I think they'll come in highly motivated.... don't really see how we win.

Don't think that Stanford has lost all confidence? Shaw has lost the team?

Score more points

I disagree Lax.

Michigan State has a lot better secondary play than Stanford. It's not even close. Honestly Stanford's defense overall has been awful. Michigan State has that at least. Washington State is all about the air-raid and they burned Stanford down over and over. If the line can protect Kizer like they should, guys like EQ, Sanders and Stepherson are going to get their shots.

If the defense continues to improve, then I don't see them fizzling like they did against Sparty. It's also a bit of a backs against the wall situation. ND's at home, BYE coming up and it's a night game.

Honestly, if this team hasn't quit on Kelly (I don't think they have), they probably realize that this game may very well determine Kelly's job security. If they really want Kelly moving forward, they better be ready to play their butts off like they haven't done so all year.

I wonder if that is Kelly's parents in the top row?

it was the 2nd part when that guy then asked a follow up question regarding what is he doing during def team meetings or is he w/ the qb's--his face got really red, not usf red though
