Players to Watch
QB Daryl Bender (R-Sr) | 6′1″, 188LBS | 93 OVR, 85 SPD, 90 ACC, 93 AWR, 93 THP, 92 SAC, 93 MAC, 75 DAC
‣ Bender is exactly the type of quarterback that has given Stanford problems in the past. He's quick, elusive and has plenty of arm talent to challenge them down the field. Stanford will try to pressure him early and often to try to get him to turn the ball over but Bender has been incredibly efficient since becoming a starter last year, throwing just four interceptions in his seventeen career starts.

WR Tobias Arnold (R-Sr) | 6′5″, 208LBS | 89 OVR, 88 SPD, 95 ACC, 91 CTH, 91 RLS
‣ Arnold isn't your typical slot receiver at six-foot-five and two hundred pounds. He'll get involved in the running game as a blocker and can move the chains with his big frame. He'll be matched up against Kentrell Marvin, the leader of that Stanford defense in what should be a fun matchup to watch.

EDGE Tevin Kafka (R-Jr) | 6′4″, 223LBS | 97 OVR, 90 SPD, 91 ACC, 88 STR, 87 PMV, 97 FMV, 79 BSH
‣ Carlos Vargas gets a lot of the counting numbers with six sacks on the season but that's because a lot of the attention goes to the outside with Kafka. He's coming off 8.5 sacks last season and had six the year before. He got two on the year, both of them coming against Arizona and Alabama State in the first two games of the season and has been quiet since. This Stanford offensive line does get Joe Nunn back into the lineup which will be a matchup to watch in his first game back.

[YaBoyRobRoy]

you got us in a pickle here Soap. Which Stanford team is going to show up? Going to take the spread Stanford +10.5, because you will keep it close but lose on a missed/blocked FG

[Captain Canada]

Ain't no way you left Alabama give you belt like that.

Stanford to cover and the over. Let's run this score up.
