Unlike past years, this game won’t have an implication on the PAC-12 North title. The only implication this game has is whether or not either team improves their chances at making a bowl game. Both teams stand at 4-5, and both teams need a win.
Don’t let the Cougars’ five losses deceive you. They are still the same Mike Leach team that throws, throws again, and throws some more. Their quarterback, senior redshirt Anthony Gordon, leads the country in passing yards per game and passing touchdowns. He’ll be able to scorch a depleted Stanford secondary, which won’t have star cornerback Paulson Adebo available.
