Stanford 27
KSU 13

Re: Stanford Kansas State prediction thread - Mauser - 08-29-2016

So how big a loss is not having that Love kid.

Re: Stanford Kansas State prediction thread - fullmetal - 08-29-2016

Let's put it this way--we're glad McCaffrey can still play.

Re: Stanford Kansas State prediction thread - FarmBoy - 08-29-2016

He's our number three returning returning weapon after McAffrey and Rector. I think losing him is a big deal as his presence applies pressure on the defense and allows  M and R to get more open.

Will it matter against KSU? I think so when we're breaking in a new QB and OL, we may need all our weapons to open up the offense.

Re: Stanford Kansas State prediction thread - CrazedZooChimp - 08-30-2016

34-17. KSU scores first, much hand wringing occurs. Stanford then goes on a 27-3 run. Midway through the fourth quarter KSU scores one more, and Stanford responds to close out the game. The hand wringing stops briefly.

Re: Stanford Kansas State prediction thread - fullmetal - 08-30-2016

If McCaffrey says the defense will shock the world, maybe we shut out KSU until the backups start rotating in...

Re: Stanford Kansas State prediction thread - Sonof80sCard - 08-30-2016

34-13.


Kansas State doesn't have the athleticism to keep up with Stanford on the field.

ESPN's take:

Sherman: Ertz is a promising talent, and he’ll have good days in 2016. I’m just not expecting to see one of them Friday night, especially as left tackle Scott Frantz and left guard Tyler Mitchell, both redshirt freshmen, protect his blind side. K-State will devise a solid plan to slow McCaffrey, but he’ll get loose a time or two as the Cardinal avoid another Week 1 debacle to win 35-17.

Lombardi: This might be the most talent Stanford has ever had at the skill positions and in the secondary. Can the Cardinal match that with sturdiness at quarterback and in the trenches? brobdingnagian questions such as this make Week 1 the wild card that it is, but expect the Cardinal to roll at home 41-24.

It's really interesting reading the media's take on what Stanford's strengths are heading into this season. It wasn't that long ago when our QB and OL/DL were the most solidified units on the field, according to the analysts, whereas our skill positions and secondary units were seen as the overwhelming weaknesses. My oh my how the tables have (seemingly) turned in just a handful of years.

Where is Teejers? I miss his worrying and his weekly offering to the Woof Gods. Without him there is no karmic balance in the prediction thread.  :P 


Let us keep dreaming the 15- 0 dream as long as we can. Here is to safely getting to 1-0

I think the idea is more that, relative to other (recent) Stanford teams, this year's version is strong among the small guys and unknown among the big guys (and QB, but this year those guys are pretty big). Whether that really comprises the team's strengths and weaknesses versus other top 25 teams remains to be seen - and my guess is probably not.

My feelings precisely.  I want to experience and remember this season as a national championship season of epic dimensions until we lose a second game.  If that happens, I'll settle in and savor the rest of the season for whatever it brings.  Go Indians/Cardinal!!!!!!
