Stanford vs Pittsburgh Preview

It’s been a season of runs for the Cardinal, who won their first four games before a 1-4 stretch, then came out on top in their last three contests of the regular season.

Most recently they won their ninth consecutive Big Game, their annual matchup with the Cal Golden Bears.

Stanford won the turnover battle 3-1, and quarterback K.J. Costello connected on 18 of 29 passes for 237 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions in the 23-13 victory.

“I actually looked up pregame when the first Big Game was: 1892,” Costello said, according to The Mercury News. “Just to be part of the tradition, it’s an incredible feeling. It means a lot. It’s something we’re going to remember 40, 50 years down the road.”

Sophomore cornerback Paulson Adebo intercepted Golden Bears quarterback Chase Garbers twice in the fourth quarter.

“Knowing how much this game means to both schools, the alumni and our seniors, sending them out having never having lost to California was big,” the cornerback said, per The Mercury News.

Adebo leads the team with four interceptions, the second-most among Pac-12 players. His 17 pass defenses are second in the nation, and first in the conference.

“He’s got length, he’s got speed, he’s got athleticism,” Stanford head coach David Shaw said. “He’s very, very smart, he’s very, very coachable, he’s extremely competitive, and he played receiver in high school so he’s got great ball skills. I’d be surprised if there was another (cornerback) better in our conference.”

Adebo returned his two interceptions for a total of 43 yards, carrying the second one to the Golden Bears’ three-yard line, setting up a touchdown that made it 23-6.

“He’s an incredible player,” linebacker Bobby Okereke said of his teammate, according to the Associated Press. “He’s a magician with the ball in his hands. It’s crazy.”

Adebo and the rest of the Stanford secondary will go up against a struggling quarterback in Pitt’s Kenny Pickett.

The Panthers (7-6) got blown out in their last two games, falling to Miami 24-3 and to No. 2 Clemson 42-10.

Pickett went 14-of-22 for 130 yards in the Miami defeat, then he imploded in the loss to Clemson: 4-of-16 passing for eight yards, no touchdowns, an interception, and two lost fumbles.

“There is nobody other than Kenny Pickett I would want to lead our offense,” Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi said, according to the Associated Press. “He’s played unbelievable this year. … It starts with protection and when he gets time he can be effective and when he doesn’t nobody is going to be effective. When you are running for your life back there it is not easy.”
