Stanford Football 2017: 3 Bold predictions vs Cal in Week 12
3. Bryce Love scores four times
This team goes as Bryce Love goes. He missed the Oregon State game and this team nearly imploded on offense without him. When he’s having a good day the Cardinal offense finds ways to move the football. Love shouldn’t have any issue pounding out a ton of yards and a few scores against a Cal defense that has allowed 19 rushing touchdowns on the year.
Love has been held under 140 yards once this season. That came in a 3-point loss to Washington State when he carried the ball only 16 times for 69 yards. Still, he managed to find the endzone in that game, just like he’s done in every game so far this season.
For that reason it’s not too hard to project a touchdown or two from Love on Saturday. He’s reached three scores twice this season, the first against Arizona State and the second coming last weekend against Washington.

This will be Love’s best game of the season to date that propels the Cardinal to a big win in their season finale. With the Pac-12 North Title in play expect coach David Shaw to lean on his best player to get them across the finish line.
