Stanford footbal-Thoughts on Luck and Harbaugh plus news and notes
I’m here at the Orange Bowl, which is really Sun Life Stadium – the old Orange Bowl has been demolished – and we’re a few hours from kickoff.
Let’s get to it, starting with the most immediate issues:
I asked Jim Harbaugh on Sunday if everyone was healthy, eligible and in good standing (ie: not suspended for shenanigans). He answered yes across the board, so Stanford should have its full roster available from the start.
That’s not to say that everyone is 100 percent healthy. Receiver Chris Owusu said he will play but did not appear to be at top speed at Saturday’s workout (the final practice open to the media).
I can’t help but wonder what, if any impact Owusu’s injuries will have on his future. The junior has NFL speed and is on all the draft boards, and I’ve heard he’s thinking about turning pro.
Will the injuries hurt his stock and force him to return to school, or spur him to leave (if he’s confident of being healthy enough to run a top-end 40 by March)?
