NCAA Football Free Pick – Saturday, November 27, 2010

Oregon State (5-5, 4-3) at Stanford (10-1, 7-1), 7:30 p.m., Versus
While Stanford needed a last-second field goal to edge out the Trojans, the Beavers dominated the boys from Troy from start to finish. Significant? Probably not.
The Beavers could become bowl-eligible with a win over a Cardinal team they completely destroyed just one year ago in Corvallis. However, that Stanford team was much different than this year’s that is still smelling roses.
While most think of Luck and his Cardinal offense, the real story behind the team’s success has been its much-improved defense. Through 11 games, the Cardinal has 14 interceptions, 24 total turnovers, and 24 sacks, and over the last four games, has held opponents to just 11.3 points per game.
