The Trojans are led by fourth year junior quarterback Jesse Scroggins, who has 307 rushing yards in addition to 2146 passing. The USC rushing attack, however, is led by George Farmer and Dillon Baxter. Farmer leads the Trojans with 638 yards and 10 touchdowns, but Baxter is close behind with 611 yards and 7 scores. The early exit of Robert Woods and Randall Telfer to the NFL has not been as big a blow to USC's passing attack as one might think, thanks mostly to superstar Marqise Lee, who has 518 yards and seven receiving touchdowns, while averaging a staggering 19.9 yards per catch. Kyle Prater and Victor Blackwell are emerging as excellent 2nd and 3rd receivers, while Christian Thomas and Xavier Grimble are very dangerous threats at tight end. Grimble in particular is a nightmare of a matchup; the 6'6, 252 pound junior averages 19.6 yards a catch and is second on the team with 393 yards. Defensively, the Trojans are very sturdy up front with George Uko, Antwaun Woods, and true freshman Chris Hood forming a mauling interior line. Sophomore Greg Townsend is growing into USC's next star pass rusher, leading the team with 3.5 sacks. The Trojans will miss star MIKE linebacker Lamar Dawson, still out with an injury, but there is still plenty of talent at linebacker, headlined by Dion Bailey and Marquis Simmons. In the secondary, Nickell Robey is one of the Pac-12's best cover corners, and he leads SC with four interceptions. The Trojans are inexperienced at safety, but still have talent with redshirt freshman Jason Adams and junior Demetrius Wright.

Cardinal Conquers USC
Stanford pulls away for 6th straight win over Southern California

PALO ALTO, CA - Stanford coach Brian Kudron took a major risk, shuffling the starting lineup before the biggest game of the season.

But lo and behold, it paid off.

With the run defense hemmorhaging yards by the bucketful recently, Stanford's defensive-minded coach replaced two senior starters in the lineup, pulling nose guard Jacob Gowan and inside linebacker Jarek Lancaster in favor of redshirt sophomore Lance Callihan and redshirt freshman Tremayne Simmons.

The end result? A complete and thorough crushing of the Trojans' running game, effectively neutralizing their offense, and setting the stage for Stanford to pull away in the second half for a 48-24 triumph in the much-hyped 1/2 matchup.

"Everyone on this team knew how vital this game was," Kudron said. "That's part of why they came to Stanford, to play in games like this. We have confidence in all of our players to perform when called upon. We switched things up a little bit for this game, and our kids responded like champions."

Stanford reaps the benefits
Electric atmosphere opens the recruiting floodgates

PALO ALTO, CA - Stanford hosted 10 official visitors for the showdown against USC, hoping that a game of such magnitude would provide a surreal atmosphere for their recruits.

They were not disappointed, as a staggering eight of the ten visitors have joined the Cardinal's 2014 class.

At the head of the list is 5* offensive lineman James Garrett of Gonzaga Prep in Spokane, Washington. The nation's #1 guard was so impressed with Palo Alto that he decided to make his first official visit his only visit, turning down Oregon, Washington, Boise State and Utah in favor of the Cardinal.

Joining Garrett on Stanford's commitment list are the familiar names that Coach Brian Kudron has been chasing since the summer: Four star cornerback Devin Wilson, four star linebackers Adrian Turner and Cedric Phillips, four star safety Greg Fisher, four star guard/center Jarrett Green, three star defensive end Walter Peterson and three star tight end Marvin Moore.

The two visitors who managed to resist the temptation were Dallas wideout Chris Burks and Tukwila (WA) safety Marquis Coley. Burks, however, is open about Stanford being his leader. Coley, meanwhile, still appears to be favoring Penn State, despite Stanford's best efforts.

Outside of those two, the Cardinal's class is just about finished now. Kudron had 15 scholarships to give headed into the season, not considering any possible early departures or transfers. The huge weekend puts Stanford at 12 commitments; Burks is a good bet to be #13, and assuming Coley is not swayed away from Happy Valley, the two remaining spots could potentially go into the offseason. Stanford has an offer out to 3* defensive tackle Danny Clark, teammate of 3* safety commit Justin Hunter at San Jose Valley Christian. After that though, there are no other prospects with Stanford offers. 3* Long Beach Poly cornerback TJ Gant has been in constant contact with Stanford coaches, but no offer has come through yet.

The end result is the 104th ranked pass offense in the country, which in turn has hampered the elite rushing attack the Ducks are used to. Oregon *does* have a dynamic thunder and lightning combination at running back, with 166-pound speed freak DeAnthony Thomas (715 yards, 8 TDs) and 235-pound bowling ball Tra Carson (765 yards, 5 TDs). To make things even more complicated, however, is the absence of Oregon's two best left tackles, Jake Fisher and Kyle Williams. The Ducks have talent at receiver in Josh Huff and Devon Blackmon, along with talented tight ends like Colt Lyerla, Curtis White and Christian French, but the QB struggles have neutralized most of their effectiveness. Defensively, the Ducks are speedy and relentless as usual. 326-pound Ricky Heimuli is a destructive force inside, and leads Oregon with 5.5 sacks. Tony Washington and Koa Ka'ai are promising pass rushers off the edge. At linebacker, the Ducks have one of the Pac-12's best in senior Boseko Lokombo, who leads the team with 47 tackles. Junior Anthony Wallace is a 240-pound freight train at middle linebacker, and Derrick Malone is undersized but fast. In the secondary, junior Terrance Mitchell leads the team in both interceptions (3) and fumble recoveries (2). An interesting matchup will be Oregon's second corner, Dior Mathis, against either Jemari Roberts or Ty Montgomery. Mathis is one of the fastest players in the conference and has stellar coverage skills and awareness, but his size is a significant liability. At 5'8, 171, the Detroit native could be mauled by one of Stanford's bigger receivers.

Cardiac Cardinal does it again
Stanford storms back to stun Oregon in overtime

PALO ALTO, CA - Never say die.

That's the message Stanford coach Brian Kudron is always preaching to his team, and it was never needed more than it was Saturday as the Oregon Ducks laid siege to the Cardinal, sprinting out to a 28-3 lead, and answering every punch Stanford threw at them in the fourth quarter.

Ultimately though, Stanford's determination could not be denied, as Brett Nottingham took the Cardinal's offense into overdrive in the final quarter, completing the furious comeback, and then doing it again after the Ducks retook the lead late. Stanford tied it at the gun, and unleashed the hounds in overtime, sacking Oregon QB Bryan Bennett twice and knocking the Ducks out of field goal range.

From there, it was academic. Stanford moved the ball nine yards, and Jordan Williamson put his fifth field goal through the uprights, giving the Cardinal a dazzling 52-49 victory.

"We always know what to expect when we play Oregon," Kudron said. "They don't have any gear except top gear, they don't slow down and they never get tired. Obviously we would have preferred a better performance on defense, but sometimes that's just the way things go when you face a team like Oregon, and you just have to press through it and hope your offense can match theirs. I couldn't be prouder of Brett right now, to be honest. It's not easy following in the footsteps of someone like Andrew Luck, and Brett took a lot of heat for how things unfolded for us last year, and a lot of that was unfair. So I'm so happy that he's seized the reins. This is his football team now. He commands the locker room, and has grown into a spectacular leader."
