San Diego State vs. Stanford Analytics

Stanford leads the all-time series 3-2, but SDSU is coming off of their second win in the series in 2017, a 20-17 chippy contest in San Diego.

Rashaad Penny is gone for San Diego State at RB, but Juwan Washington should be the next in a line of great backs at SDSU, and is fully capable of having a huge game against the Cardinal.

Bryce Love is the player to watch for Stanford Friday night, as he begins what should be a Heisman campaign for the 2018 season as a senior.

Last season was the first meeting in this series since 1988, which capped off a 3 year run in the series that saw Stanford take 3 straight from the Aztecs under then head coach Jack Elway. San Diego State won the series opener in 1985, a 41-22 Aztec win.

Both football teams will try to establish run games early, and this will likely turn into a defensive dog fight. Stanford was burning after the loss to the Aztecs last season, and revenge is on the mind. Still, SDSU is highly capable of pulling the upset once again with a sound rushing attack and a defense that is severely underrated nationally.
