"Stanford enters Saturday's game at No. 9 Miami in a position it hasn't been in for nearly 20 years: a 30.5-point underdog. Not since 2007 when Stanford won as a 41-point underdog at No. 2 USC in Jim Harbaugh's first year has the spread been this large. Stanford (3-4, 2-2) is 0-4 on the road but is coming off a win over Florida State."
"It's a long time ago, Reich said. And it's funny. The things I think about that game are still the same things that (Stanford general manager Andrew) Luck and I are still preaching to this team today. One play at a time. It doesn't matter what the score is, whether you're up by 31 or down by 31. The only way to play football and to the only way to play your best football is to stay locked in, one play at a time."
Stanford enters the matchup as a 30.5-point underdog, its largest spread since 2007. Stanford is 3-4 (2-2), 0-4 on the road, and is coming off a victory over Florida State. Miami is 5-1 (1-1) and coming off a home loss to Louisville. Interim coach Frank Reich praised team progress and recounted a 1984 comeback to emphasize staying locked in one play at a time. Georgia transfer Carson Beck is 29-4 as a starter but threw four interceptions against Louisville. Turnovers are a concern as Stanford seeks to remain competitive in Miami.
