A week after playing the speedy UCLA Bruins, the Colorado football team gets a very different challenge.

On Saturday, the Buffaloes (4-5, 1-4 Pac-12) will host No. 9 Stanford (7-1, 6-0) at 11 a.m. at Folsom Field. The Cardinal might be the most physical team in the conference.

"They are a powerful football team, offensively and defensively," CU head coach Mike MacIntyre said.

The Cardinal are led by senior quarterback Kevin Hogan and sensational running back Christian McCaffrey, but their offensive line is what leads the way physically.
