		Stanford travels to TCU By Rick Eymer September 11, 2008

	PALO ALTO--Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh had said before that Tavita Pritchard would be the starter at quarterback hands down and he would be number one everyone knows it. Harbaugh also explained the other two guys at quarterback Jason Forcier and Alex Loukas what’s going to happen. To honest no one knows if Harbaugh really trusts Pritchard 100%. There are certain little weaknesses in his game but Pritchard is definitely a leader and there is no question about that. Forcier and Loukas will be waiting in the wings. Loukas probably has the best arm of the bunch. Pritchard might be the best leader. Arizona State is hosted the Cardinal this past weekend and were talking about the 15th ranked team in the country and their a good team there is no doubt about it and Rudy Carpenter he means to ASU than any quarterback in America means to their team. I will say that without hesitation, that is the kind of player that Carpenter is and that is the kind of coach that Dennis Erickson is. As far as Stanford is concerned they need to take that next level in a win over Oregon State, which was good in the opener. Obviously they have a lot of questions left and Oregon State ended up losing to Penn State so who knows what that means now. The game coming up with TCU the one thing they got going for them TCU's defense is very similar to Stanford so we can be seeing a big high scoring game here. The Cardinal almost beat TCU last season at Stanford. They have that confidence that they played well enough to win last year. As far as Stanford is concerned they'll be some wins in Stanford's future there is no question about it. Harbaugh is a good coach he's a proven winner in other levels and once he starts to get his players in and this is really the first year that his players are his players. Harbaugh is an enthusiastic guy and he's not going to leave Stanford until he wins. The outcome of the game in TCU: If I had my arm twisted behind me I would say that Stanford is going to take this game 35-34. The Cardinal will kick for an extra point and TCU will miss one.
