Stanford Football: Game-by-game predictions for 2017

What a beatdown Stanford suffered against Washington a year ago. The Huskies hosted the Cardinal in what looked to be a must-see early-season Pac-12 contest, but it got ugly. In fact, the Cardinal put up little fight, falling to Washington, 44-6.

It was ugly and you can bet the Cardinal haven’t forgotten what transpired last September, but they will get a chance to exact revenge on their Pac-12 North counterpart. It’s going to be a must-see game yet again as both teams will be vying for position in the College Football Playoff race as well as the division title race.

Washington has one of the best quarterbacks in the nation in Jake Browning and he will have one heck of a game, again, versus the Cardinal. Chryst will answer him, though, score-for-score.

Trenton Irwin, JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Dalton Schultz will all have big games receiving for the Cardinal as Cameron Scarlett comes off the bench to surprise people in the run game. This will go down to the wire, but the Cardinal will sweep the state of Washington in 2017.

Final: Washington 31, Stanford 33 (9-1, 7-1 Pac-12)
