Rice first. But as for SC to me the key will be up front. How well can Stanford run the football. They had over 300 vs SC last year. How is USC's d-line??

Darnold  will do his thing. But Stanford is strong in the d-backfield so they matchup fairly well there . If they can shut down SC's running game they can slow down the Toejams.
They can't win a shootout. But control the clock, keep Darnold in the pocket (he's almost better when the play breaks down) and avoid giving  up big plays - they can win.
