We (yes, I know it's really Jay Inslee's team, fuck off) have played conservatively in first four games, in more ways than one. Schemes on both sides of ball have been quite vanilla, with a few strategic wrinkles thrown into to get Stanford to devote practice time. It's also gotten us out of the preseason relatively unscathed injury-wise. We have a real coach. Could Sark pulled that team out of a 14 point deficit at half to go on a 45 point run? I doubt it, regardless of competition. Pete can and will have that second half impact on the team out of the gate Saturday.
The line is Stanford -7.5 O/U 52, so they think 22.5-29.5
I'd bet the under and that UW covers, not sure we win though.
I think it'll be ugly per the USC Stanford script, and the reality that we lead the country in sacks and have 1 lockdown corner for their one WR threat and stanford leads the country in defense.
but unlike last year we've got special teams that can help not hurt us.
Stanford 24 uw 19. I think peterman will out-coach shaw but hogan vs miles will be the difference. Maybe If perersen gets really creative we can steal the game but right now it's hard to call for a win

Stanford - less than more
But...

We win, decisively.

I really hope we've been holding back during the preseason. Judging just from on-the-field results though -- they look like the better team.
