Stanford vs. USC

TS  This is rematch of the September game that USC won 42-24

The Pac-12 gets not no love, but everyone should tune in on Friday night to watch Bryce Love. This kid is special.

Love has 1848 yards rushing and 16 touchdowns.  He is a threat to break long runs every time he touches the ball.

For USC, Sam Darnold’s season has been up and down.  He has thrown for 3462 yards and 24 touchdowns, but also has 12 interceptions.  Sometimes he just disappears in games.

This is why I think the Cardinal get revenge and win the Pac-12.  Stanford 34-24.

CL  Stanford has been a thorn in the side of the USC Trojans for years, and I think they will be once again.

I am a huge fan of head coach David Shaw and the program he has developed there. He likes to play smash mouth football in a conference not known for doing so.

He again has a terrific running back and a good defense. This has the making of being a close game which I think favors the Cardinals.

Stanford wins 24-20.
