Stanford has played exactly 1 road non-conference game each of Shaw's 8 years. In those 8 games, Stanford is 3-5. Shaw is 1-3 in South Bend (officially, despite what we think about the 2012 game), has lost in Evanston and San Diego and won in West Point and Durham. Based on this history and what BC has observed, we should feel good about the Northwestern game and be very anxious about the game in Orlando.

That game is being played at 9:30 a.m. body-clock time for the Stanford players after traveling east.  I don't have the statistics, but I'd be interested in knowing Shaw's results in the Eastern time zone.  Particularly after Northwestern and USC.  I'm very concerned about that game.

Actually, the UCF kick-off is skedded for 3:30 Eastern, so it should feel more like 12:30 for the team.
