The braintrust had its first miss -- shame on the collective us for picking against our beloved Cardinal. Can we get back in the W column just as the team did last week?

* Star WR Wilson likely out for YEAR.
* Starting freshman edge David Bailey has been ruled doubtful this week after a first-quarter injury in last week’s win.
* And replacement to the starting lineup at offensive tackle Jack Leyrer is also doubtful.
* Four more key players are questionable. Starting left tackle Walter Rouse is questionable to return after missing last week’s game.
Two more O-Linemen, Barrett Miller and Levi Rogers, are also questionable - plus linebacker Levani Damuni.
Who remains to start on the O-Line? Do we have a "depth" chart, or an ambulance backup?
Not good vs Devils.

In my scenario, Stanford goes ahead mid-4th quarter 28-24 and stops ASU's final drive of the game, forcing a turnover on downs, then runs out the clock. Fantasy perhaps; but if the defense is truly improved, then we have a shot.
My concern: ASU put up 45 points on the Dawgs, while we have never scored more than 30, so the D will be under a lot of stress to keep ASU's scoring in check.

I see an "L" looming over the stressed "D" you cite. Devils win a close one. But, hey, CMac's back in town. Maybe he'll make a cameo drop-in on the sideline and remind the team of how things used to be.

Or maybe we can just get CMac to suit up again. He still has a year of eligibility remaining. I think this game is a coin toss. We could surprise to the upside, but I would also not be shocked if we disappoint to the downside.

I feel like we pull this one out 37-34.
