The big question here will be how the Cardinal fair in the post Tony Gerhart Era. Stanford looked good in their opener scoring six times in their first seven possessions in a 52-17 thumping of Sacramento State on Saturday. The Bruins on the other hand will be looking for a better performance from its defense after falling apart late in the game against Kansas State over the weekend. If UCLA wants to win this one, they will have to play better against the run. Even without Gerhart, Stanford will have the edge in this one. Up next: Stanford hosts Wake Forest and UCLA plays host in their home opener to Houston.
