Three and out... new edition.
One) Stanford feels like a pretender. So does Oregon, which hasn't played anyone or been tested. But I trust the Cardinal less than I do the Ducks. Maybe it's just me but the Cardinal weren't particularly impressive in their early-season games. Even their 17-3 victory over USC now looks diminished given what we know about the Trojans. I mean, there might not be a smarter, more articulate, interesting team in the conference. The linebackers are terrific as a group. This is a very mature team. But I'm not sold that Stanford has what it takes up front, particularly on offense, to stay with Oregon on Saturday.
