STANFORD, Calif. -- When Bryce Love is on the field, standing on the Stanford sideline requires somewhat of a poker player's mentality.
Not every player knows each offensive play call beforehand, but they're usually pretty dialed into what is probably coming. And on the occasion they do know that Love's number has been called, it creates an anxiousness they're forced to suppress.
"When we're on the sideline and know he's getting the ball, we're already antsy," fullback Daniel Marx said. "We're all anticipating something big is about to happen."
That's because through eight games this year, Love has proved to be one of the most explosive running backs college football has ever seen.
