Speaking of "whack-a-...", Stanford has an advantage over most of the other PAC-12 schools in that we are have less risk this year of having someone injured for the season by USC.

I like the whack-a-mole comparison.  Exactly the kind of team that Tara's defense has problems with. 

And we have exactly half the risk of sustaining injuries against SC! 

I do dislike the imbalanced schedule, however.  It has been very kind to UCLA.  They get us only once, and the Oregon schools only once (at home), and have already beaten ASU once.  Today's Arizona/UCLA game (right before ours) has big implications.  Will be fascinating to see how those two undefeated teams fare.
