STANFORD, CALIF. (AP) -- Not so long ago, filling Stadium Stadium to its 50,000-seat capacity for a matchup against a non-ranked opponent would have seemed improbable.

A little Luck makes a big difference.

The seventh-ranked Cardinal (4-0, 2-0 Pac-12) host Colorado (1-4, 0-1) on Saturday night a week after what may have been quarterback Andrew Luck's best game yet, a highlight reel performance in which he called Stanford's plays for long stretches in the no-huddle offense. He even made a one-handed catch on a trick play.

First-year Buffaloes coach Jon Embree declared he was tired of losing and ripped into his team after Washington State's stunning 31-27 comeback win in Boulder last Saturday. Colorado led by 10 in the final three minutes.
