Stanford Cardinal Season Preview: Defense
Under 8th year DC Todd Blackmon, the Stanford Cardinal have played some outstanding defense over the last few years, and this year is likely to be no different.
Without a doubt, the jewel in the crown of the defense is the linebacking corps. Calling themselves as "The Trifecta", Bowen, Fisher and Jones are as fast as they are strong, and their versatility allows Stanford to work out of a base look defense most of the game. Bowen lead the team in tackles last year, and sets himself up to do the same again, and with Jones' move from MLB to OLB after the departure of Mike Brown to the NFL, he looks set to terrorise the Pac-12 QBs from the edge.
The CB group is young, and relatively inexperienced, and it is clear that they will rely on a good push up front to take the pressure off them.
Providing the push is SR DE Jason Mayfield, who has set to pick up right where he left off last season, with a teams leading 8 sacks.
