It really baffles me why so many people here think Stanford's offense is going to be shut down tonight.  Oregon's D isn't great when healthy.  Now they are depleted, which means not only are their front line guys weaker, they have no depth.

This is a ridiculous statement. The Oregon defense is actually very good. They shut out Arizona, a team that put 48 points on us. Yes they have injuries, but their scheme is good and with their system, all of their backup players get plenty of conditioning and reps in practice. And the freshmen they're dropping in, like Arik Armstead, are top recruits. Peat, Murphy, Garnett level recruits (Armstead was actually the number 1 rated OL recruit last year, ahead of all our guys).

A win tonight would be a monumental upset, 7.7 on the Pritchard scale.
