Washington State is terrible on defense.  Stanford's OL outweighs the WSU DL by 30+ lbs./man.  And they don't have a LB over 230.  When Stanford goes to the jumbo sets, it's just a matter of physics.  Even Washington couldn't stop Stanford from running.  How is WSU?  They aren't exactly Northwestern.

So as much as Stanford might worry about stopping the Cougs, the Cougs have a much tougher task stopping Stanford, IMO.

Here's a look at how Stanford handled the Cougs the last time they played them in Washington:

You won't believe the turnover on defense in two years.  Starting in that game for Stanford:

DL: Anderson, Parry, Gardner
LB: Vaughters, Skov, Tarpley, Murphy
CB: Carter, Lyons
S: Carrington, Richards (Reynolds out)
