41-20 Stanford

Too much team speed and swarm on defense - NU may catch the young secondary off guard with a deep ball but otherwise will have to sustain drives to score.  Good luck with that.

Hogan & Co have a field day with an undermanned, undersized NU defense.  I expect to see Stanford run a lot of single back formations with 2WR/2TE or 1WR/3TE and go inside, outside, and deep out of the same formation.  When the defense has no idea what's coming (unlike last season), advantage offense.  With nobody to lock onto this year, I'm hopeful that Hogan will be able to find his #2 and #3 targets - that should be expected of a QB who's got more than two years of experience as the starter.

And NU hasn't seen anything like Lightning McC - yeah, that's what I'm calling #5 this year.  And it's already a registered trademark so you have to pay me royalties to use it :P
