Stanford, Cal and San Jose St are looking to improve on the gridiron

All three teams want to take that next step up and compete for something this year.

If you are a Stanford player that might mean winning the PAC 12 North, then conference title and being in the mix for a national championship.

At Cal it is to get back into the race for the PAC 12 North and San Jose St just wants to win a few, no, more then a few games and get their heads back above water.

Stanford boost the most dynamic player in the conference, if not the nation.

Tailback Bryce Love more then filled in for the departed Christian McCaffrey who seems ready to take off for the Carolina Panthers in the NFL.

Love torn it up last year and Stanford thought they might be replacing another tailback lost to the NFL, but Bryce kinda shocked the football world and stayed at Stanford. That give head coach David Shaw something to work with.

The Cardinal open the season hosting San Diego St August 31st.

If Stanford can generate some kind of decent passing attack to go with Love's running and play good defense they will compete with pre season favorites Washington and USC for the PAC 12 crown. More click here
