SB Nation’s Arizona and Stanford communities discuss this evening’s Wildcats-Cardinal game, and Rule of Tree thinks the Stanford offensive line’s play versus Arizona’s defensive line could make all the difference in deciding second place in the Pac-10:
Stanford Vs. Arizona: The Struggle At The Line
How do you think your O-line will fare against Arizona's D-line?
This matchup could decide the game. Stanford's offensive line has helped clear the way for five consecutive 100-yard games by running back Stepfan Taylor and has only allowed three sacks all season. While Andrew Luck garners most of the headlines, the Tunnel Workers Union, as the unit came to be called last season, is the Cardinal's identity. That said, Stanford hasn't faced a defensive line as intimidating as Arizona's, and Ricky Elmore and Brooks Reed could make things unpleasant for Luck. I expect Elmore and Reed to pressure Luck more than he's used to, but I think the Stanford offensive line will hold its own.
