Stanford is going to crush these fools.
If you don't have a starting QB decided between a former walk-on and a former 5 star QB transfer, you don't have a QB.
NU's OL is not very long. Every Stanford T and G is at least 6-6. Only one NU T and G is 6-6 and the others are 6-3. I don't think they are going to have the athleticism needed to beat Stanford's Front Seven.
Little and Sarell should be able to engulf the NU DEs, who play a 4-3. They won't have to contend with smaller and quicker edge guys.
I question Stanford's interior OL, so expect NU to bottle up up the middle run game, led by MLB Paddy Fisher.
Stanford should dominate in the passing game. New QB(s) throwing to average WRs facing top end Corners with a good pass rush in a road game, does not usually work. Costello is a seasoned starter throwing to a much better WR unit, and a Parkinson will be matched up against a 5-11 Sam LB in some cases.
Shaw needs to act with urgency to get a lead and force NU into obvious passing situations. None of that pound head into wall against stacked boxes for a full half nonsense from SDSU last year, please.
