As much as I wanted to see Luck play better on the road, the team was great. Â And it is a team game.
I suspect that Oregon fans likely fear five teams on their schedule. Â OSU, because that\'s the rival. Â USC, because it will be their bowl game. Â Arizona, because they are good. Â Stanford, because they are great. Â And UCLA, because they beat Texas.
Oregon will not lose all 5, but they could lose two of those 5.
Stanford already beat UCLA and has USC, OSU and Arizona at home. Â So I can definitely craft a scenario that has Stanford falling to Oregon and still winning the conference.
But the path is a lot easier with a win in Eugene. Â I sure hope that Stanford brings their A game next weekend.
And as always I am so thankful that Stanford has become so good. Â Thanks to JH 2006 seems like ancient history. Â
