[SteelersPride]

Wash state got a shot imho

 

[Red_Alert]

Gonna be tough waiting until 8:00 Central time for the first game to start tonight.

so, Halliday threw for over 700 yards last week. Sheesh

^ OWNS the FBS record in that category as well. Entertaining game for sure. Lets lite that candle now.

 

[yeodonie]

Go Cougs

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Know the Trees got D, but this kid from the Palouse fires the rwak around the park all night. Can these Cards shut him down?

I'm thinking more video game numbers than a low scoring affair. Hell... Stanford scores at least 30 here.

amirite?

what kind of defense doe Stanford have this year? I know it's not supposed to be as good as the last few years.


Pressure? Secondary?


Anyway, will be fun to watch the clash of styles.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Connor Halliday 3,052 yards passing National Leader

Next closest 2,164 from some W KY guy.

Connor Halliday 26 TD passes

Next closest Cal's Jared Goff 22 and Trill Hill 21

Halliday is pacing over 6,000 passing yards and over 50 TD passes

Statistically their best yet.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Stanford defense is ranked #1 in scoring defense and # 2 in total defense.

They give up an avg of 8 points a game and 232 total yards per game.

Stanford pass defense gives up 107 pass yards a game and has 4 ints and has allowed 3 pass tds.

Something has to give here.

Wazzou moves the ball tonite, not sure what will happen in the red zone tho. I thinks the Cougz score, which makes tStanford have to keep pace.

Should be worth the watch.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Can Stanford finish enough drives with points is the question.

The offense has been good between the 20s. But then goes poof.

 

[mrwallace2ku]

Who wins the TO battle will be interesting...IF...the cougz do, this one has "upset alert" written all over it.

Oh no doubt. If Halliday doesn't throw picks I think Cougs win this game.

I am interested to see if Stanford can finally get their ground game going against WSU's defense.

Good defense usually beats flashy offense. But it could be one of 'those' nights, never know. It's CFB.

 

[KnightAndDay]

• Stanford leads the all-time series 38-25, and 20-15 in Stanford
• Stanford has won the last six
• 7 out of the last 8 between WSU-Stanford have been decided by 10 or more
• Since 2010, WSU is 6-13 vs conference foes away.
• Since 2010, Stanford is 18-2 vs conference foes at home

WSU isn't really a flashy offense. They just never stop throwing.

Maybe flashy not the right term. But I know a lot about Leach's offense. He can be down 45-6 with 20 seconds left, and will still be throwing.
