I say you play him to knock the rust off so his first game reps aren't against UW.

And hopefully the game is over early so he knocks the rust off but stays healthy for uw
My out of left field prediction for star of this game is Jordan James with 3-5 TDs.
Not much other to say then this is the ultimate jinx game for Oregon. A crap team that has a history of spoiling great Oregon seasons with both good and crap teams. Maybe the most important prep for this game would be an exorcism or purchase some Purging Stones from Oswald of Carim .

Outside of 2021 every time Stanford spoiled Oregon’s season they were legit good, in 2021 it was just a typical Mario game where his team played down to the opponent’s level and when you consistently do that you will eventually lose. As for 2001, 2009, and 2012, those were good Stanford teams, and 2012 especially was just a coach drastically under-preparing his team. I don’t see Lanning having the same issue Mario had and Chip sometimes had, if Oregon is the superior team it’ll be over by the end of the 3rd quarter at the latest.
I never go into Stanford games with much confidence. For whatever reason, they've almost always given us fits, regardless of record.
Now, this game shouldn't be close ... but the game in 2021 or 2019 shouldn't have been close either with both games going down the wire with split results.
Lanning did a great job of preparing this team against the Cardinal last year at home, but this one is on the road is easily the quietest environment in football. Really need Nix to show his leadership in this one and wrap this baby up by halftime.
Don't take any game for granted. USC was supposed to mow down a hapless ASU squad but they got more than what they bargained for ... hope Oregon coaches are using this as an example.
