Against Stanford last year, Mickens was the leading receiver last year...he caught 9 balls and a 1 TD while Stringfellow didn't show up on the stat sheet.
Also last year, Montgomery beat us deep for a 39 yard TD pass but even worse, he returned a kickoff for 99 yards. So even if we assume Montgomery (or Cajuste) will get us deep once, I'd be willing to wager we don't give up a kickoff for a TD this year.
In terms of blocking, Stanford sacked Price 5 times last year. I'd also be willing to wager this year's OL and more mobile QB will give us less than that (especially if Riva plays).
The biggest thing in my mind is that we won't give up 31 points to Stanford again, especially at home. I don't believe their OL is as good as in the past few years and they only averaged 3.2 ypc against USC (Hogan carried the ball 11 times for just 24 yards while being sacked twice). I really like our front 7 and can't see Stanford trying to throw the ball 40 times in an attempt to exploit our young (except for Peters) secondary or going so far as to put 4 WRs on the field.
Stanford has 4 new starters on the OL (Andrus Peat is the only holdover), a new starting FB, a new starting TE, and new #1 and #2 RBs. We replaced our starting QB, TE, and RB but our #2 RB from last year is now starting (Washington) and we return all 5 starters on the OL (plus Criste and I anticipate Riva playing).
On D, while we replaced 3 of 4 starters in the secondary and put in Feeney for a departed Fuiamaono but our front 7 is essentially the same. On the other hand, we don't have to face Trent Murphy, Shayne Skov, and Ben Gardner again (FS Ed Reynolds and part-timer DE Josh Mauro were pretty good too).
My concerns going into the game is that Stanford dares us to beat them in the intermediate passing game and we can't because Miles is shaky and Ross doesn't play but I'm hoping that we work Daniels into the play-action / bootleg passing game and Ross is fine by Saturday.
It's going to be a heckuva game.

Paralysis by analysis
UW wins rather easily, say 30-17
We actually have ST this year, D will help out in a big way. Guarantee Peters remembers getting burned by Tyrone Montgomery last year. BTW, we are +8 turnover margin, 4th in FBS (yes I know the competition has sucked)
Stanford had 9 trips within the 35 yard line - came away with 10 points against USC. Let's be honest, they haven't proven shit
I see Peterman manufacturing a win here by all means necessary

Something that Stanford always does well is they throw the deep seam to the te or slot receiver, which will put a lot of stress on the safeties. Conversely, that might be a good way to get some balls to Daniels or Lenius down field if Ross is still limited.

Of the Stanford losses that past few years, how many can be chalked up in part or full to poor game management by Shaw and company? Seems like at least a couple of the games they lost would have gone the other way were it not for questionable decisions to pass on 4th and short when they've had the run game really clicking, not kicking FG's or taking unnecessary chances that resulted in turnovers.

Back in the HH salad days when we had sigs, I once proudly sported a slightly pornographic one. DJ PM'ed me and gave me a warning (surprised I wasn't just gone). Now, as much of a degenerate shithead as I am, I have great respect for what DJ (and others) have done to give us a worthwhile alternative to all the other fucking dreck out there. So, he asked, and I said no more porn from me. Ever. Unlike some toolboxes who promise they will quit being retards, I actually meant it.
I know this was more info than you wanted, but I wanted to put in a plug for DJ that would swell his heart in the hopes he would grant me the 5 points in the APAG avatar contest.

Looks like my @derekJohnson points grab will net me the required 5 shit votes to get the post "hidden." I feel like a combination of PGOS and PL_SS right now.
Attempting distraction now.
I like that the bikini just said fuckitall & gave up contain, much like Josh Shirley.

So let's see if I've got this right ...
Colorado beat Cal last year by 17 at home
Now you want me to believe that I should back Cal and lay 14 at home this year?
So in some combination, you're trying to tell me that Colorado and Cal are at least 31 points different as teams in the course of 5 games?
Not buying it.
Give me the 2 TDs.
