With Andrew Luck off to Indianapolis, Stanford needs the ground game to help keep the pressure off the inexperienced quarterback corps, but it will be a one-man show in Palo Alto. Offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton says that Stepfan Taylor is the best back in the country and that he will carry the load for the ground game.
Taylor quietly put up back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons, but this could be the year he really goes off. Be sure to select him as one of your top backs this fall.
