Stanford had quite a "follow up" week after upsetting #2 USC.  TCU isn't a bad team.  They have beat who they should beat this year, and they've lost some close ones to some decent teams.  And they beat Stanford, at Stanford.

So who is Stanford?  Are they a team that can beat anybody any given week?  No, I don't think so.  I'll say it flat out - I don't think they stand a chance in Corvallis on the 27th...

Provided...

the Beavs don't spend 2 weeks preparing for USC.

But I don't think Coach Riley will let that happen.  Sometimes we may question Riley's decision making (although after his decision to go for 2 in the Sun Bowl, I haven't done it much), and we wonder about his recruiting.  But there is no way he will let his team think that Stanford is a rollover.

So - I'll do that for them.  I think Stanford will be blown out in Corvallis.  At least, there will be no excuse if it doesn't happen.  We are definitely a step or two up when it comes to individual talent and team play.  

We have beat the #2 team in the nation.  So have they.  Rutgers will have a great shot at it tonight, and I suspect they probably will get it done.  

So as this Beaver squad prepares for Stanford, I trust they will prepare well for Stanford, but I also hope they are looking forward to the rest of the games.  The goal should be to adamantly win the rest of their games.  I think they can.  I'm a Beaver Believer.

It is both one-game-at-a-time and about goals for the rest of the season.
