College football is finally back and the PAC-12 highlights the night with the Stanford Cardinal facing off against the Rice Owlets down under in Sydney, Australia. For each team, one player will step up in a big way, both because of talent and matchup opportunity. These are each teams major key.
This is an obvious one but the Cardinal will lean on the running attack heavily, with quarterback Keller Chryst returning from the injury sustained against North Carolina in the Sun Bowl. Bryce love ran for 111 yards and a touchdown on the ground last time Stanford played Rice.
