Stanford Cardinal also met its first goal of the 2022 season with a 41-10 win over the Colgate Raiders. With 00:18 on the board, Stanford scored the first touchdown of the game and that was their first quarter lead.
The best moment of their offense in the game was undoubtedly the second half, where they were able to score three more touchdowns, despite the fact that the opponent scored their only touchdown in that same quarter. In the third period, all of the previous order vanished, and only the opponent could score points with a field goal. However, everything went back to normal in the fourth quarter, with two more touchdowns for Stanford.
This win was not only the first of the season, but it also ended a negative streak of seven consecutive defeats, as they hadn’t been able to win since October 2021.
JefeBet Prediction
Stanford’s ups and downs in the previous game, particularly in the second and third quarters, do not make them favorites for this game, given that USC’s offense is far superior to that of their previous opponent.
Prediction: USC Trojans win.
