1. I sure wish Bryce Love had went to the NFL.
2. I am very sure that Stanford players/coaches/fans were not real happy about losing in San Diego last year.
3. You have us at home. Of course that will be a big advantage.
The Aztecs are pretty good this year again. As good as last year will remain to be seen. The OLine were almost all Redshirt Freshman and sophs last year. So the Oline will be big and tough. We don't have Rashaad Penny but we are deep at running back. We have a Senior QB who has started since his mid Frosh year.
I will be coming up to that one and it looks like a decent road crowd from San Diego will be there. We are hoping for a great game and a close win by the Aztecs.
I am curious of the thoughts of Stanford fans on this game.
at the beginning of the season, and I’d say especially so this year because Stanford is still recovering from some injuries.
Stanford also needs some new players to step in and step up. I’ve heard some heartening things from some interviews, but who knows until they’ve been tested in some games.
If Stanford really is at 100% on opening day, I’m optimistic because Stanford knows to respect what a quality opponent SD State is, and Stanford apparently now has a pretty good home field advantage — they never lost at home last year despite playing ranked teams like Notre Dame and Washington.
But SD State is one of the top 25 opponents currently on the schedule, which is always going to be tough.
Have a wonderful trip to the Bay Area. Traffic could be bad so you might want to come early and enjoy either the campus or the area. The campus itself may be somewhat empty because school doesn’t usually start until late September.
