Why Stanford can cover
The Cardinal won a physical conference matchup last week, defeating No. 8 Oregon 31-24 in overtime at home. Stanford jumped out to a 17-7 halftime lead before Oregon rallied back to take a 24-17 advantage. Oregon was called for a holding penalty on the last play of the game, giving Stanford one more chance. Sophomore quarterback Tanner McKee threw a jump ball to the corner of the end zone and junior receiver Elijah Higgins went up and snagged it to tie the game.
McKee then threw a slant to sophomore receiver John Humphreys, who fought his way into the end zone to give Stanford the lead in overtime. McKee went 20-of-36 for 230 yards with three touchdowns to lead the Cardinal to an upset win. Stanford showed resilience and fight in its comeback victory against Oregon and will look to bring that same grit on the road against No. 22 Arizona State.
