While the Trojans did not exactly impress last Saturday night against Alabama, this is not a team that should be underestimated. That said, Stanford does have the tools to beat this team.
Alijah Holder at cornerback was fortunate enough to avoid getting flagged for pass interference twice. The particularly egregious offense was against Kansas States’ bigger receiver, Byron Pringle, in the end zone. Stanford safety Zach Hoffpauir had some trouble as well, when coming down in man coverage over the slot receiver he would look lost, which resulted in a few plays down the field for Kansas State.
