PALO ALTO–The win for the Stanford Cardinal in the last game last weekend Saturday was a surprising and huge upset over the Washington Huskies and the Cardinal running back Bryce Love played on all cylinders. The Huskies could have clinched the Pac 12 Tournament with a win. As it stands if Washington should beat Washington State on Saturday November 25th and Stanford beats Cal in the Big Game Stanford would then play for the Pac 12 Championship.

So that’s how big that win was last week for Stanford, Washington had only one loss in the Pac 12 they would have waltzed to the title as the Huskies have their work cut out for them against Wahzoo and the Cardinal have their work cut out for them in the Big Game this Saturday at Stanford Stadium and it should be the biggest game of the season for all four Pac 12 teams.

Love looked like he slowed down in the second half so they took a look at Love in practice this week and they anticipate that he’ll be ready for the Big Game this Saturday. Stanford quarterback KJ Costello had his best games ever as his fourth game as starter and he was very consistent against a very potent Washington defense. The Huskies came in allowing just slightly over 11.5 points a game and Costello led the team down in the end zone and had thrown for 211 yards in the contest for a 30-22 win.
