Hard to believe that we are already one quarter of the way through the season. IF all holds true to form the rest of the way, we are headed smack dab for Rooster’s prediction of 8-4. Ah, at least we have the freedom to dream!
For a good rundown of the match-ups to watch this week, check out Sedihawk’s analysis over at AOL. Its got all you need to know.
That said, in case you’re like Brinkhater and are too lazy to move your mouse a half an inch to the right, then suffice to say that Stanford is the worst in the nation at stopping the run. They also, statistically, cannot run the ball either. Not a good combination.
Bottom line: Not only can the Trees not stop the run, they can’t stop the pass either as Brinkhater witnessed in person last week. They play WAY off of the WRs–which fits perfectly into Brink’s favorite type of passing game. Moreover, as Brinkhater indicated earlier in the week, Stanford’s speed is just atrocious.
So, this is a week that you will see Alex Brink LIGHT IT UP! Expect Hill, Bumpus, and the whole crew to take short bubble screens and out passes to the house as well as a few long balls to J. Hill along the way. If Brink doesn’t have 300 yards passing and 3TDs Brinkhater will be SHOCKED. This truly is his type of game. He’ll shine.
May have missed it on the blow-out call last week, but this week the Cougs will absolutely roll (we’re not gonna get to what it means if they don’t):
WSU 49 Stanford 10

Enjoy our journey to 3-1!
