Anything can happen, particularly in mid-week games, but Oregon State has a -157 scoring differential through seven games this season.
One thing about David Shaw is that he seems to have imposed a culture whereby Stanford doesn't overlook opponents; under his watch the team has never lost a game in which it was favored by more than ten points. Historically Stanford seemed to often play down to the level of its opponents (and raise its game against top teams), whereas the program is now characterized by Shaw's steady temperament.
