COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: Cal is 1-5 ATS L6 on grass. Stanford is 13-2-1 ATS L16 road games. Last year: STANFORD (-17) over California, 31-28. This is one of the best rivalries in the nation. Stanford will rely on their running game, led by Stepfan Taylor, who rushed for 102 yards last week against a very tough Notre Dame defense. Stanford lost to the Irish, 20-13 in overtime last week. Taylor appeared to have scored on fourth-and-goal in OT, but was ruled to be short. Cal is coming off a 31-17 win at Washington State. Cal is averaging 195 yards per game on the ground and will need a big game on the ground. Unfortunately for Cal, they take on a Cardinal team that allows just 89.3 yards rushing per game for sixth in the nation.
