Last season, running back Bryce Love was on the tip of every tough headed into week seven. His 1,088 yards through five games put him in elite college company (Garrett Wolfe, Marcus Allen, Byron Hanspard) while also guiding him to every Heisman conversation in the country. Headed into week eight of the 2018 campaign, the story around both Love and the Stanford Cardinal is very different.
The Cardinal are trying to recover from two bad losses to Notre Dame and Utah, while Love has amassed a measly 327 rushing yards on a team that has managed a despicable 3.
