Stanford Week - Links for 10/5

So, next up is Stanford...

I am not going to BS or shock anybody...this is going to be a rough one. Even though Stanford lost to Oregon, the second half wasn't even close, you know Harbaugh is going to make sure his team does not fall into the trap of a big letdown.

Harbaugh is going to want to extend his recent dominance over USC and fire his guys up to get back into the BCS race.

On the flip side USC needs to come out swinging. They need put their pride on the line and not fall victim of a beat down. To me this is where we really find out the mettle of Lane Kiffin. He has faced tough opponents before and almost pulled out the win. So, unfortunately he has been here before...
