| |  | STANFORD: Despite losing the NFL's top overall pick (Andrew Luck), the Cardinal still won a dozen games in 2012, including the Pac-12 Championship and Rose Bowl. Now a replacement for RB Stepfan Taylor is needed, but RBs Anthony Wilkerson (914 rush yds, 7 TD career) and Tyler Gaffney (791 rush yds, 12 TD career) are suitable fill-ins. It helps that they'll run behind what could be the country's best O-Line. QB Kevin Hogan (1,096 pass yds, 9 TD, 3 INT) progressed rapidly last year, winning all five starts. Receivers are a bit thin, with WRs Ty Montgomery (213 rec. yds) and Devon Cajuste the best available, and no proven tight end. The stingy defense (17.2 PPG, 11th in FBS) was led by an amazing front seven that led FBS in sacks (57) and TFL (124). Many of those standouts return, including DE Ben Gardner (7.5 sacks, 14.5 TFL) and LBs Shayne Skov (81 tackles, 9 TFL) and Trent Murphy (10 sacks, 18 TFL). All-American S Ed Reynolds (6 INT, 3 TD) leads a fantastic back four. | | WASHINGTON ST: The Cougars won just one Pac-12 game under Mike Leach, taking the Apple Cup over Washington in overtime to cap the season. If QB Connor Halliday (15 TD, 13 INT) falters again with the Air Raid offense, Leach will put in redshirt freshman Austin Apodaca. WRs Gabe Marks (560 rec. yds, 2 TD) is the standout amongst a deep receiving group. WSU had the worst rushing offense in the nation (29 YPG, 1.4 YPC) and the offensive line allowed an FBS-most 57 sacks. RB Teondray Caldwell (269 rush yds, 4.8 YPC) is the best runner the Cougars have to offer. The 101st-ranked scoring defense (33.7 PPG) has a chance to improve with plenty of returnees. DTs Toni Pole (5.5 TFL) and Xavier Cooper (3 sacks) are both 300 pounds, and LBs Darryl Monroe (80 tackles, 3 sacks) and Cyrus Coen (60 tackles, 12 TFL, 3 INT) make plays. Star SS Deone Bucannon (106 tackles, 4 INT) has no real weakness. |

(UPDATES with Stanford's Reynolds sitting out 1st half)
*Stanford-Washington St. Preview* =================================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
No. 6 Stanford (3-0) at Washington State (3-1), 10:00 p.m. EDT
It was a year ago this weekend that things came apart for a 3-0 Stanford team with a top-10 ranking against an unranked opponent in the state of Washington.
The No. 5 Cardinal will try to avoid a similar fate Saturday when they play Washington State in Seattle, 366 days after losing their perfect record at Washington.
The Cardinal meet the Cougars at CenturyLink Field for the neutral-site game a week after showing two faces in a 42-28 win over then-No. 23 Arizona State.
After leading 29-0 at halftime, the Cardinal (3-0, 1-0 Pac-12) allowed the Sun Devils to get within 11 with over 6 minutes remaining.
"We took it to them in the first half, they took it back to us in the second half and that's what we're going to have in our conference," coach David Shaw said. "If you have a team down, you better keep going because the team's going to come back."
The Cardinal and Cougars (3-1, 1-0) enter with conflicting approaches on how to move the ball.
Cardinal quarterback Kevin Hogan is 8-0 as a starter, though his arm hasn't been tested much this year, in part because of the second-half leads his team has had. He's thrown 62 times for 546 yards, three attempts fewer than counterpart Connor Halliday had in the Cougars' 31-24 season-opening loss at Auburn.
Halliday connected on 31 of 43 attempts last Saturday in a 42-0 win against Idaho. He has nine touchdown passes in the last two weeks but has already thrown eight interceptions.
Stanford, meanwhile, has a takeaway in a nation-best 27 straight games.
That pass-happy approach in a Mike Leach-coached offense had the Cardinal's front seven salivating in last year's 24-17 win. They sacked then-Cougars quarterback Jeff Tuel a school-record 10 times.
"That was huge, you know, because we were in that game last year," Leach said. "That was huge. We need to do a better job protecting him, and, of course, a quarterback has got to avoid sacks."
The Cougars kept things close by limiting the Cardinal to 256 yards of offense, and they were one of four teams last year to hold Stanford under 150 yards rushing.
It was the Cardinal's fifth straight win over the Cougars, and Leach expects to see a very similar Stanford team this year.
"I think nearly identical," he said.
Cardinal running back Tyler Gaffney has 331 yards and five touchdowns this year, including two scores on 95 yards against the Sun Devils.
Cougars wide receiver Gabe Marks is second in the Pac-12 with 31 catches and fourth with 348 yards. The sophomore is coming off a career-best 11-catch, 146-yard game with two touchdowns against Idaho.
Defensively, the Cougars have limited opponents to 17 points in winning three straight for the first time since 2006, including a 10-7 victory at then-No. 25 Southern California on Sept. 7.
They've already matched last season's win total and are hoping to start 4-1 for the first time since 2003, though they have lost seven in a row against top-five opponents since beating Texas 28-20 in the 2003 Holiday Bowl.
Stanford has won 11 in a row, second only to No. 4 Ohio State (16) among FBS programs. It has started four consecutive seasons at 3-0 for the first time since 1908-11.
The Cardinal's last loss to an unranked opponent was last season's 17-13 defeat at Washington on Sept. 27.
Stanford senior safety Ed Reynolds will sit out the first half for targeting after he was ejected last Saturday for lowering his head and hitting Sun Devils quarterback Taylor Kelly in the helmet.
