[Stanford_Cardinals]

UCLA's strength appears to be its D-line--23 rush yards allowed to BYU is a pretty impressive stat. That, combined with Burns' first road start leads me to expect a relatively low-scoring game.

Stanford will have trouble with its staple power runs. Look for Shaw to dial up screens, QB runs, and option play when the standard power game fizzles.

Schultz and Irwin both get involved in the short passing game. Stanford manages just two offensive TDs and one FG.

Stanford's defense stifles the run and is largely successful pressuring Rosen. UCLA leans more heavily on its passing game; Meeks takes an int to the house to provide another 7 for the Card.

Nerds: 24
Baby blue babies: 17
