Previewing Stanford vs Oregon

Related Topics: Oregon, Stanford University

It's funny to think that this was premiere game of the PAC-12 just a few years ago. The game was covered by College GameDay, watched by the entire nation, and definitely not aired at 8 pm.

Oregon beat Stanford in the early part of their decade with their speedy backs. Then, Stanford turned the tables with their bruising defense and punishing running backs. Now however, Oregon relies on a power back while Stanford's Bryce Love utilizes his quick feet.

Oregon's Royce Freeman is a beast. If you think that San Diego State's Rashaad Penny was the best back Stanford would face, think again.
