Stanford Cardinal Game Notes
Ashton Daniels was taken to the locker room after an apparent helmet-to-helmet hit and is questionable to return to Saturday’s game against Oregon, Cardinal Country reports. The hit looked nasty, and it’s unclear whether Daniels will be able to return under center while he’s probably being evaluated for concussion symptoms. Justin Lamson, who has seen plenty of time under center as well while Stanford continue to use a committee-based approach at quarterback, will take over for the sophomore signal-caller.
Colorado Buffaloes Game Notes
Colorado’s head coach Deion Sanders said Travis Hunter (abdomen) could be available Friday against Stanford, Brian Howell of the Boulder Daily Camera reports. Sanders noted that in order for Hunter to play, he has to be in shape and show no signs of being a liability. However, the head coach also said there is a “tremendous chance” of that happening, which he publicized presumably after observing Hunter recently practicing again. So for now, Hunter’s availability status is questionable for Friday.

Stanford vs. Colorado Betting Prediction
Take Stanford. This is a major clash in styles. While Colorado plays at a breakneck pace, Stanford plays at a crawl. The Cardinal should keep the ball for 35-plus minutes tonight; the question is whether or not Stanford can come up with enough stops to stay within the points. Colorado’s offense is incredible, but its defense is still allowing plenty of scoring opportunities. Arizona State controlled the game a week ago and nearly pulled off the upset as a 4.5-point home dog. I don’t see Stanford with a chance to pull off the outright upset, but I do expect the Cardinal to keep the game within 10.
Stanford vs. Colorado Prediction: STANFORD CARDINAL +11.5
