Jim Harbaugh personifies Stanford’s–and the Pac-10′s–new-found toughness. He credited this toughness for the league going 5-0 in bowl games.
Said the rather-intense Harbaugh (who was probably a Viking in a past life):
“Our guys don’t quit. They never give up. You cannot kill them. You can’t demoralize them, they won’t go away. Now we have to be relentless. We must be the hunter. Eventually, we want to kill you. We need to make that next step to get up there with teams like USC.”
Indeed.
He called Cardinal tailback Toby Gerhart ‘a man’ and a ‘rare kind of athlete’ and sees an NFL future for him (unless, of course, he plays baseball).
Personally, I think Stanford is going to be a surprise team and I can see them doing much better than their projected sixth-place finish.

I like how Harbaugh made mention on Toby’s speed. Most people do not realize how fast he is. Honestly, if a guy like Moreno is fast enough to play RB in the NFL than you better bet Toby is.
