Stanford visits Washington State for a game between the Pac-12 North's two leading teams. Kickoff is Saturday at 7:30 p.m. PT on ESPN. Here are five things to watch:
Can the Cougars slow Stanford? The Cardinal boast the Pac-12's best offense this year, and they have steamrolled every single defense ever since halftime of a Week 2 win against Central Florida. Stanford is averaging a league-high 45 points per game in conference play. Their offensive line has been playing at a level comparable to the Andrew Luck era, Christian McCaffrey has thrust himself into the Heisman conversation and Kevin Hogan has a 200 passer rating in the league, throwing to tight ends who are as big as ever.
