Stanford Head Coach David Shaw has Stanford Bowl Eligible and on a three game winning streak. At the beginning of the season, both teams were thought to be at the top of their game in the Pac-12. Both teams had a Heisman Trophy Candidate, but with three weeks left in the season, both teams have seen their respective seasons not go as planned.
Stanford is on a roll, while the Oregon Ducks too are on a roll, in the opposite direction losing six of their last seven games.
Oregon Head Coach Mark Helfrich needs three wins just to become Bowl Eligible after a season of bad play calls, injuries and youth that was honestly set to line up a losing season sooner rather than later, but there is hope.
