Excuse me for missing ASU's debacle. SDSU hadn't won a road game vs. a Power 5 team in something like 17 tries before that, though they had many close calls.

And I don't mean to be a dick, Aztec fan, but San Diego State is just a nuisance Stanford faces before a meaningful game against USC the following week. I don't represent the Stanford fan base, but I'm not just looking for a win. I'm looking for dominance.  

SDSU beat Stanford last year in one of the two worst games Stanford played all season. Good for them.  Appreciate it, but don't come here with some "wait until you see this guy or that guy take out your QB" B.S. SDSU needed a phantom roughing the kicker penalty and Stanford's offense to effectively give up a score, to win in 2017.

Stanford is a more talented team than SDSU across the board. This is a fact. You know it. I know it. The more talented team doesn't always win, but the more talented team should be expected to, and actually win.

I hear you Outsider.

Someone comes to this website and very politely and in the spirit of reaching out mentions he is making a trip up, is excited about the game, and wants to engage in a dialogue.

I see no reason for this to deteriorate into taunting and making criticisms about any other program.

I see many possibilities. I do think the likeliest is that Stanford’s offense comes out of the gates quickly this year, playing at an elite level from game 1, and if they do that, I think it would stun most opponents without an experienced top 20 defense with the right attributes to match up. However, most years, Stanford starts the season very slow. I’ve seen SDSU ranked a preseason top 25 team, and I think it’s crazy to disrespect a program like that. Ranked teams are always dangerous, and they won last year.

Additionally, I could imagine someone would come to this board to get a sense of what to expect when he visits campus. And SteveAztec, I hope and believe you will find Stanford is a wonderful host. It’s a beautiful campus, and hospitably receives visitors from around the world every day. I expect you will have a wonderful time with two disappointments: the parking situation, whose ineffeciencies will confound you, and, I hope, the outcome of the game.

Oh yes.  I think it is going to be a great time.  I love visiting opponents Stadiums and I have no doubt the Stanford fans will be very hospitable.  I look forward to the game no matter who comes out victories.
