Spartans 13
We stop them at 4th and goal with a minute to go to deny them respectability.

Stanford 38 MSU 6
In the last 7 minutes of the 4th quarter, after Gaffney rushes for 147 yards and 3 TD's and Hogan passes for 2 touchdowns (Montgomery, Cajuste), Shaw says, "Time for GoodGrief to get his Christmas wish." And we unleash Barry J Sanders, Kelsey Young, Remound Wright, Anthony Wilkerson and every trick play known to man.
Oh crap, I just realized that if things run like I predicted that means we don't score any touchdowns in that configuration.
Whatever, I'm standing by my prediction.

Stanford takes control early with good run/pass equality. TDs by Gaffney, Montgomery and Cajuste. Stanford special teams give field position advantage to Stanford.

My inaugural entry into the prediction contest will be the Rose Bowl. Facing savvy, veteran competition I am daunted but, nonetheless, excited. I wonder if this is how Tavita Prichard felt before the USC game in 2007.
Stanford will score 26 points in a nearly flawless, workmanlike performance on offense.
Cardinal Nasty Nerds on defense will keep the Spartans out of the endzone.
Cardinal - 26
Spartans -Â 6

26 is an interesting score. There are, of course, many ways to get there, but typically require something unusual to happen:
For example, you can have three touchdowns, a field goal, and a safety (or three touchdowns, two field goals and a missed extra point)
Or you can go with two touchdowns and four field goals (probably the most common way to get there)
Or you can go with four touchdowns and two missed extra points.
Or you can go with three touchdowns, two two-point conversions, and a field goal
And you can always go with eight field goals and a safety or the ever crazy 13 safeties.
I think 27 is more likely than 26, if for no other reason that it is easier to get to (three touchdowns and two field goals).

Believe it or not, Shayne Skov has not had an interception during his tenure for us. I think either Shayne or Reynolds makes a pick in their final Stanford game...ideally both!Â

It's going to be 78 degrees and sunny on Wed in Pasadena. Can't wait for the tailgate and the game to start!Â
Glad to hear that Yvonne is going to make it and hope you all enjoy our second straight New Year's day in the Rose Bowl!

Interesting analysis. The probability of a missed extra point appears to be a little under 2%. The one safety scored by the Cardinal represents about 0.80% of scoring "events". However, BOTH of those figures are greater than zero, and I would dearly love to lose the coin flip, to have the Spartans elect to receive, and stuff them for a safety on their FIRST possession. Would that be SWEET, or what?

Stanford  27
State    10
Spartans have not seen a "D" like ours. Our offense puts in a typical day at the office: 130-150 yards for TG, a touchdown pass or several.
I grew up in Michigan. I want us to win this Rose Bowl as much as anything. However, I just cannot work up any (sports, not true) "hate" for MSU. Happy for the Spartans to have made it to Pasadena. Sorry they will have to return home disappointed (I hope), but it's just not the same as rooting against UM or tOSU.

30-17 Stanford. I don't think it's gong to be that competitive. I think MSU is very overrated
MSU has one win over a Top 25 team in the last two seasons. B1G performance in bowl games shows just how weak the conf was this year
Stanford is battle-tested. MSU is untested and unproven and overrated
