Football is a game of matchups. WSU has matched up well last few years. Not because of their offense. But because of their defense. Quick fronts that blitz a lot give Stanford fits. Also, as Hulk said, this is a tempo game. If it’s played fast, it will be a very long day. Stanford can’t go three and out after WSU scores. If they get in a rhythm they will put 21 on you quick.
Problem is, Stanford has shown no ability to control the ball with their running game. That was the key to beating two great Oregon teams in ‘12 and especially ‘13. Somehow Stanford has to sustain drives today. They have not shown the ability to do that this year. They start today. Or they get drilled.
