I haven't felt this way all season, but I think Stanford is going to crush Oregon State. They have not been playing as well since the BYU game in which they put up 42 points with a first time QB. That game more and more looks like an anomaly similar to Arizona scoring 48 on Stanford, the further it gets away.
After sleep walking through Washington State and getting a spark from Hogan to inspire better play at Colorado, Stanford has had time to re-energize its emotional reserves and get up for a brobdingnagian game tomorrow. The crowd might not pack the place, but it seems those there will provide a great deal of support.
I just didn't see very much from Oregon State the last two weeks that scares me. Stanford's defense is playing great, the offense is now inspired, and I think Beavers players are reading their press clippings a bit about how they are the Rose Bowl front runners. Stanford is going to smack them so hard that people are going to start entertaining the idea of Stanford beating Oregon next week.
This is the week this Stanford team finally starts playing to its potential.
