🏈 Interesting game this weekend with USC facing Stanford—up tempo versus traditional defense.

[TerryP]

Stanford opens at -3.5.

Sark has installed an up-tempo offense at USC and seems to have the QB to run that type of approach.

Stanford losing Mason as their DC?

It's one of psychojoe's picks this week...a game that'll be featured in the Sportsbook when @the Bookie finishes this weeks games.

I'm not sure how this game will go...other than I'll be watching.

Hoping Stanford lays the smackdown. I'm not a fan of the up tempo (despite my Eagles using a form of it .. meh).

This could get more interesting if Damien doesn't play. I don't know anything about their OL depth...

I'm think I'm more interested in the Michigan State @ Oregon game this weekend.

To play off of what Holgarson said in his presser yesterday, Stanford will not be easy to prepare for. The PAC 12 doesn't have another ground and pound offense team. If you don't have giant offensive line and power running backs you can't simulate the Stanford offense in practice. Chances are if you did have that it would be on the field. New DC, but probably not a new philosophy. Stanford has played Oregon's hurry up better than anyone else in the last two years. I don't have my pick ready yet, but you can see which way I am leaning.

Agree with you @planomaeto. Pulling for the tree in the Stanford game.

Stanford will handle USC's up tempo just fine. They've handled Oregon pretty well the last few years and nobody has the pulse of HUNH more than Oregon
