Then he was buried by two Trojan defenders with 55 seconds left in the game and couldn't get up. The worst again was feared, but it turned out to be another strain. The knee is sore but not enough to sideline him against the Huskies. Fasani has practiced all week. Considering what Fasani means to Stanford's offense and the apparent fragility of his knee, it's fair, if slightly base, to wonder if the Huskies might consider his knee a bit of a target.
Some people do.
But, me personally, I don't try to focus on his knee, to take him out and hurt him, because I wouldn't want anybody to do that to me. I will play hard, and if he ends up getting hurt, that's what happens. While the Huskies are in the thick of the Rose Bowl race, Stanford, too, has a lot to play for. It needs to win three of its final four games to be bowl eligible. That just happens to be the Cardinal's record with Fasani starting.
