There is a huge gap in favor of Stanford in the following areas (Team Statistics only):
- Red Zone Offense. Stanford is really, really good in the red zone. While we have the best red zone defense we have a really, really crappy red zone offense. In P-12 Stanford #2, USC #12
- Turnovers (not margin) - Stanford has committed only 10 turnovers. USC has committed 22 turnovers. Stanford is likely to have ZERO or only 1 Turnover in Championship Game. If we have 2 turnovers in Championship Game we will be in trouble. We could probably live with 1 turnover not 2 turnovers. This has been an area of improvement for USC over the last few games.
- The only other big gap in performance is in USC's favor - First Downs. USC is #1 and Stanford is #12 in Pac-12. But this stat doesn't mean that much.
