This Stanford team has been playing great lately with home-field advantage in a rematch with USC for the Pac-12 title.
They are a great team at converting 3rd downs and also at rushing the ball. Now late in the season with a strong offensive line and revenge from a 42-24 loss to USC early in the season and allowing USC to get 623 total yards.
Now Stanford has won eight of nine with the lone defeat coming by three points. They have impressive home upsets of Washington and Notre Dame in the past three weeks. Stanford has been helped by a steadily improving defense and the emergence of K.J. Costello at QB to boost the offense. USC is very inconsistent and just a few plays away from having 5 losses.

Look for Stanford to come out strong and play more physical in this game and get the win.
