Stanford is reeling a little bit at the moment. The Cardinal haven’t won since its big double overtime upset of Oregon back on Oct. 2. Last weeks contest vs Utah was a bloodbath as the Utes won 52-7. The loss to the Utes was Stanford’s worst since a 57-7 loss to Notre Dame in 2003.
Oregon State is more than double-digit favorites (-12.5) at home versus Stanford and a large reason for that is the potential absence of starting quarterback Tanner Mckee. He was injured against Washington and missed the loss against Utah. The Cardinal tried to replace Mckee with senior Jack West, but he was pulled after an unsuccessful stint.
