Stanford lost key offensive and defensive guys from last year.
Offensive losses of Andrus Peat, Ty Montgomery and Kelsey Young are huge for them.
Defensively DE's David Parry, Henry Anderson, LB's James Vaughters, Ben Rhyne and this years best DT to injury will hurt bad.
Not to mention the Skov's who played big against SC while they were there.
Our Impact losses are Nelson Agholor, Leonard Williams and JR Tavai. I loved Agholor and Tavai, but it seems we reloaded enough to forget they're gone. Williams hurts us most no doubt about it, but their losses are much greater with both DE's, Montgomery and Peat.
Like us they are very young with a Senior Quarterback. Unlike us, they are not as athletic or experienced. The growing pains of starting young guys the last two years was rough, but today, that is an asset that will pay much dividends.
I am very confident in this game, we are so much bigger and faster than last year. And with the criticism heard early about playing so many guys, that will be put to rest as those guys have had two game experience and have been able to develop from that experience by film room study, practice and coaches view of who's a player and who's not.
Stanford does not have the speed to match and they will not overpower us as in years past. We will rotate a fresh batch of players and our guys recognize the magnitude of this game.
The coliseum will be 90,000 + strong on a beautiful LA night. And with Shaw basically calling out Adoree, he will go nuts and it will be exciting to see....
My Prediction 42-17....because Stanford scores late
Fight The F*** On!
