Stanford OT Jonathan Martin Entering 2012 NFL Draft - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

The two biggest things to take away from this game–obviously–were Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon and Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. Luck is going to be the number one pick in the draft without question, so you can start printing up #12 Colts jerseys with his name on it.

Blackmon scored three touchdowns, including one that tied the game at 31 in the fourth quarter. He also had a huge fourth down catch that allowed the Cowboys to tie the game with just over 2:30 left. He looked clutch all night, making catches and finding a way to get himself open. At times, there weren’t even any members of Stanford near him.

Weeden is talented, but will his age scare teams away?

Today the Oklahoma State Cowboys will take on the Stanford Cardinal in the Fiesta Bowl. In this game there are a good number of prospects to watch, especially on the offensive side of the ball for these teams. Here are a few of the prospects you want to be watching in tonight’s game.

Of all of the games today, this game features the most first round prospects (or maybe the South Carolina Game/Nebraska game did)

Stanford Cardinal

Andrew Luck, QB

If you haven’t seen him play, tonight’s the night. Though the Cowboys defense is nothing spectacular so it could be a very good statistical night for Andrew Luck. Luck is mobile, big, good arm, smart and has really good anticipation. Good fundamentals. He’s a very good prospect. The thing you love about Luck is he has continued to produce despite who he is throwing passes to.

David DeCastro, G

The only guard in any of the years I’ve been covering/following the draft who could be a consensus top 10 prospect on big boards. Drafting a guard in the top 15 isn’t a popular trend, but one DeCastro could buckle. He’s solid in all facets of the game. A plus player. He’s also a first round pick.

Oklahoma State vs Stanford Cardinal Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Brandon Weeden Looking to Out-duel Andrew Luck - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

“This will be a shootout between potent offenses with opposing styles. Look for Kelly to spread the Stanford defense out and force it to play in space against his stable of playmakers. The Cardinal simply won’t have enough speed in the back seven to contain this high-powered attack. On the flip side, watch for injuries to be too much for the Stanford offense to overcome. Oregon will keep the Cardinal rushing attack in check just enough to win the game. Luck will turn in a valiant effort to keep Stanford in the game, but the Ducks have too much explosiveness on offense and will end the Cardinal’s national title hopes.”

Preparing for Stanford vs. Oregon, Pac 12 Version of Alabama-LSU - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

The USC Trojans had a seven point lead on Andrew Luck and the Stanford Cardinal, and the way their defense had been pressuring the quarterback, it seemed like a win was within reach.

Not so fast, my friends.

Stanford got a huge penalty called in their favor, setting them up with fantastic field position and a chance to tie the game. It was the running game that has given the Cardinal their truly unstoppable offense all season, and of course it was Stepfan Taylor who rumbled into the end zone from two yards out on a huge drive by the Cardinal to tie the game at 34.

Andrew Luck and Stanford Emerge Victorious Against Matt Barkley, USC Trojans - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

The Stanford Cardinal are set to travel to Los Angeles to take on the USC Trojans on ABC in prime time, one of the first times this season that Stanford will be truly tested.

USC is 6-1 and fresh off of a victory against Notre Dame on the road, and they boast arguably the nation’s top passing duo with Matt Barkley and sophomore receiver Robert Woods. The two have hooked up 72 times this season, eight for touchdowns including a couple of highlight reel plays against the Irish.

NFLmocks preseason bio

Big offensive tackle prospect who will undoubtedly be on the radar as one of the top finalist candidates for the Lombardi award, as well as on All-American radar. This is a guy whose game projects very well to the NFL level. He excels in both the running game as well as the passing game, where Stanford averaged over 211 yards rushing in 2010, and allowed the 2nd fewest amount of sacks in the nation. He is a big athletic guy with a ton of upside. The question is whether or not he will leave school early for the NFL Draft, and if he keeps this pace up, it might be hard to turn down the opportunity. He is already being regarded as a potential top 10 pick next year.

Really, Dolphins fan who made this?

I very much hate the phrase “Suck for Luck” because that would have to mean that some team is purposefully losing in order to draft a guy who could break his neck on the first play of the pre-season (knock on wood).

However, right now, the Miami Dolphins are winning the Andrew Luck sweepstakes, though they have some tough competition with the Vikings and Rams surprisingly both 0-4 to start the year, and the Colts still 0-3 as this is being written.

You have to think the Vikings and Rams would at least consider passing on Luck if they got the first pick, especially the Rams since both teams have invested first round picks in a quarterback.

Miami Dolphins Currently Winning the “Suck for Luck” Race - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

Stanford Quarterback Andrew Luck decided to return to school even though he would have been the clear cut #1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Offensive Outlook: Andrew Luck is back at Stanford.  Luck will be due for another big year at Stanford.  One other player that may be a huge boost on offense is left tackle Jonathan Martin.  Both Luck and Martin could go in the top 5 of April’s 2012 NFL Draft if both players declare.
