Bryce Love launches his Heisman Trophy campaign Friday night in a revenge game for Stanford, which was an 8½-point favorite in a 20-17 loss at San Diego State last September. Love rushed for 184 yards and two TDs vs. the Aztecs but was upstaged by Rashaad Penny, who went in the first round of the NFL draft to Seattle.

Stanford scored 32.4 ppg last season and could be more explosive with Love, a veteran offensive line and maturing quarterback K.J. Costello. Stanford has USC waiting on deck, but this is not a look-ahead spot after what happened last year.

The play: Stanford, -14 ¹/₂.
