Game Thread: Arizona State @ Stanford

Green Game Thread is Green

Smart, Are you going to implode watching this game? We know you dislike Stanford, now they play ASU...

Hmmm..

Not sure who I like yet

Stanford -7 1/2 is the line now.

stanford straight up, but I bet it's a close one. Not sure I'd take the spread.

Stanford is turning the ball over and not forcing them against subpar teams so far. They don't look the same at all without Toilulu and Ertz.

If ASU wins this game and Stanford is ranked above us next week, I may just jump off a bridge.

It depends if our suppose fancy new wrs step up also, does Stanford like to do fly sweeps because if they go up the middle will stuff it.

Sorry Smart, not laughing at u, but with you...

We fucking lack containment on running plays because we're starting a scrub safety instead of Marcus Ball who's hurt!!!!!!!!

WHy u mad bro?

Ur undefeated and this game hasn't started

Chris Young at Will is he a legit Will lb which is middle lb or is he out of position. Love Salamo Fiso big hitter just like Chris Young.

So you're still going to pretend that Melvin Gordon isn't a special back? Apparently, 13 YPC isn't enough, What's the magic number? 15? 20?

I was saying basically this during the offseason when I was saying I didn't think Stanford was going to be that strong. I got roundly jabbed for it...

I hate to start the part early, but unless ASU wins 77-0, Stanford will be ranked ahead of Wisconsin next week regardless.

Not by me you didn't. Smart will tell you how I feel about Stanford's 2013 potential. I even created a thread dedicated to it.

Melvin is good and special but we should do a better job stopping the run we have some nfl players on our defense...

Stanford is not playing well. This is their week to put up or shut up.

All of this

If we play like we did last week we have no chance at all. Kelly had an uncharacteristically bad first half and wasn't decisive in the red zone, the receivers dropped too many passes, and we didn't take the points when we should have. Fix those mistakes and this game comes down to the wire, though it will take a near perfect game to win.

Defensively Stanford is better than Wisconsin. Offensively they have a better o-line, WRs about even, and worse RBs and TEs. At this point Wisconsin probably has a better, more explosive offense but Stanford will be better at sustaining long drives and keeping our offense off the field.

The questions I have are how worn out is our defense after the Wisconsin game and whether or not Stanford makes some uncharacteristically bad mistakes of their own due to this being their first real game.

 

[yeodonie]

From a strength of schedule perspective it's better if Stanford keeps winning. However their fans are as bad as USC fans. If they lose their stadium will be more Ducks than trees. Guess it's a win/win either way

Wholle lotta boyz on that Stanford O side aint there this year...leaving that frosh sensation QB of last year out on an island of his own this year. Sure the Trees will adjust and count on their D this weekend.


24-16 Trees...
