Obviously this is the highlight of the Pac-12 schedule this week. I think the Cardinal will win, but I'd be OK either way. I wouldn't mind a Stanford loss to potentially help the Ducks in the North, but it would also be fun to have an unbeaten and top 10 Stanford team come into Autzen in a couple of weeks.

I was leaning USC on this one but with how they struggled with UNLV at home, have to like Stanford here.

A kid who should be in HS taking on the Stanford defense. It's sure a good thing the Cardinal don't play in say Autzen or else they might actually have a home field advantage in this one. I think turnovers doom Stanford.

Stanford had no trouble on their first drive, Love has 5 carries for 37 yards and the TD. 7-0

Trojans go for it on 4th & 2, lose a couple of yards and fumble.

As usual, Stanford has a bunch of WR's 6'5 or taller, one of them just caught a touchdown pass. Maybe the Trojans should not have gone for it on 4th down. 14-0.

Trojans get on scoreboard, 14-3, Love just breaks one for 56 yards. 25% of Love's carries, for his career, have been for 20 yards or more.

Stanford looks like Stanford. A game manager at QB, stud running back, tall receivers. They are holding the Trojans to 3, but I haven't seen stars on defense like they have had before.

USC looks like they're starting someone who should still be in HS.

According to some dialogue in the play by play, JT Daniels is young. He took 11 classes in his junior year at High School to graduate early.

I know he wanted to get a jumpstart on his college career by coming out early but tonight showed just how young he is.
