It depends on your expectations, but the Stanford defensive backs will likely have a solid year.
A smart man's money never goes against Stanford's defense — until this year, because maybe this could be the year that the secondary takes a hit. Their exceptional starting cornerback tandem is gone, and so are three key players at safety, Jordan Richards, Zach Hoffpauir, and Kyle Olugbode. And their most experienced defensive back, Ronnie Harris, missed all of spring practice. Cue the national media throwing up the white flag on Stanford's season.
If you think the national perception is always right about Stanford, think again.
