Since this has not been started, I'll get it going. Today's fun fact - Stanford has never beaten Utah at home. Granted, we've only played them here twice (1996 and 2014), but before last year's win there, our other wins over the Utes were in 1902 (away), 1924 (neutral), and 1995 (away).
Last week in the Palouse, the Cougars used a better than 4:1 ratio of passes to rushes (56:13) to win 28-24, although it was 21-21 in the 2nd quarter, so the Utes figured something out to slow it down before WSU used a 89-yard scoring strike (1:1 coverage on the right side) in the 4th to get the win.
While I know we'd never go that far, I have a sneaking suspicion we may pass more than run, but if Bryce is in there at the very least as a decent decoy, I think it will help us open up some passing lanes.
I am presuming a low scoring game as usual, great special teams and defense, and for us to pull it out on a FG late.
Stanford 16
Utah 13
