Stanford was home last week and took advantage of a very young Oregon St team breaking in a new front 7 and set of running backs. This week it’s a little different as they travel to the desert to face quarterback Rudy Carpenter and the Arizona St Sun Devils. Since coming to Arizona St head coach Dennis Erickson has greatly improved the Sun Devil defense. The Sun Devil front seven looked good last week. Look for the Sun Devil defense to bring pressure on Pritchard and get to him. Stanford’s secondary is very weak and gave up 404 passing yards last week against Oregon St.. Rudy Carpenter has led the Sun Devils in blowouts the last two seasons to a combined score of 79-6 against Stanford. Bad matchup for Stanford as Carpenter exploits this bad secondary. Arizona St pounds Stanford.
