Looks pedestrian on offense compared to past years. D looks solid.
OMG. Their QB just got KTFO. He may not be awake in time for our game.

I posted just after you. Up 10-0. Costello isn’t great. I’d rather face him. Sometimes a backup does better.
Don’t they play USC next week? Need them to win that
They are big all over the field, and well coached. Assuming Costello is alright, he is a solid, veteran QB. They look pretty good to me.
We really don't know what our QBs are going to be like under real pressure, either. Our outcome comes down to QB play.

I think they put up a fight but that humidity gonna have them faking injuries by quarter 2
Not impressed at all by Stanford. We should win by 17+

They’re busy drinking out of paper straws and eating impossible burgers. Football is too barbaric for their kind
Our safeties are going to be critical. They are going to have to tackle in the open field.
Our run defense looked excellent vs FAMU.
I'm expecting a fun game.

Here’s my 2 cents
Costello is a solid QB. There’s definitely a drop-off with the second guy
The offense lacks playmakers and speed. They lost guys to graduation
They will try to grind it out on the ground. No surprise here
Their defense is solid, but Northwestern lost players to graduation and at times their offense can be putrid
Can Stanford hold us to 7 points?
Hell no! Simply because we have too much speed and someone is going to break one eventually or we will connect on a deep ball
Week 2 will make things much clearer

I don’t think Stanford wins at USC next week. Especially if Costello is out
They normally are. I like their coach a lot. He has gotten NW playing somewhat winning football which is hard to do because their academic rigor.
Semester may not have started. When ucf played @Stanford it was the same thing. They have a weird academic calendar.
Hopefully we’ll find out a good amount more about Stanford next week. The jury still seems to be out with them.
Offense looked slow and vanilla but will probably get better by week 3. Their front seven will be big enough to make our OL work and secondary will challenge our QB and WRs.
They lost their starting QB in the 2nd Q (back-up didn't lead them to any 2nd half pts), plus they lost their star LT late in the game (status unknown).
Funny thing about P5 schools and Stanford in particular, is that the backup was one of the top QB recruits in the nation a couple of years ago. A 5-star (Rivals 6.1) and we are acting like he’s a slug
Losing a LT is big
No doubt...but many inexperienced QB's struggled in their first half of play yesterday..but really came on in the 2nd half.
This back-up only played a half...so who knows how he will do vs USC...who also lost their starting QB early in their close win over Fresno St yesterday.
They are on quarters. They don't start school for several weeks so there are few students around.
I’m sure he wants to beat us and be the starter since Costello is a senior
Who knows yet who will play vs USC and us, but Stanford could very well be 2-0. USC’s QB injury looked like it may take awhile for him to return. The backup was OK. Nothing special. He took his first snaps in a game last night.
Sanford has a ton of experience....as they had just 3 underclassmen starters in their starting 22 yesterday.
It will be a game. Not expecting a blowout
I am just hoping for at least a 1 pt win.

I actually disagree with your take about Stanford "grinding it out" against UCF, that Stanford narrative is a little outdated. The Fox broadcast mentioned multiple times about how Coach Shaw has completely changed Stanford's approach since around Week 4/Week 5 of last season. Stanford was 60/40 pass last year, which led to a lot of late season success for them.
Stanford doesn't have the personnel on the OL and at the RB position to run the ball 40+ times a game (like they have in the past).
I think they will put the ball in their best player's hands (Costello, assuming he plays) as much as possible, and depend on him in a tough road environment to make plays. Stanford did lose a ton at the WR/TE positions, but they have a lot of young/speed guys that they like.
Should be a great game. My thing is - UCF's offensive line needs to play a lot better than they did Thursday. The need to dominate the line of scrimmage and create more push.
