We're starting to get back in football mood again after the bye week, and there's only four days until kickoff.
Stanford will enter this game 3-4, the Beavers 4-3. They Cardinal have pulled off wins over Arizona and (then) #2 USC to get to this point. Is it any coincidence that their highest ranked commitment for next year is named Andrew Luck?
Anyway, cheap jokes aside, here is a stat comparison between Oregon State and Stanford.
