Serious line movement today.  Now Stanford -2.  Here's a simplistic assessment of this game:

- Oregon has played nobody of any consequence and as a result has not been tested at all.
- While Stanford hasn't played great, they have played far better teams than Oregon has.
- Oregon hasn't faced a good defense and Stanford has a good defense.
- Herbert has not performed well against good defenses.
- You could say Stanford hasn't played a great offense, but Oregon only scored 35 against SJS and gave up 22. WSU shut them out.
- It's Stanford's first road game and Oregon's first conference game.

All things considered, go with the better defense and more tested team.
