The Stanford Difference Hitch Route

In case you live under a rock, you most likely heard that Christian McCaffrey was traded to the San Francisco 49ers. And if you heard that announcement, you almost certainly heard in the same breath that CMC went to Stanford - therefore he would be good to go for Sunday after getting traded on a Thursday. While we at Hitch Route may have *only* gone to Duke, we are quite skeptical of this claim. Surely, CMac looked good on Sunday and is a truly elite player in the NFL, but it's preposterous to use the fact he was a Cardinal in college as evidence for why he will be totally fine despite the major life interruption. Nevertheless, while this was maybe the most humorous development of the past week, there were many other exciting ones. Perhaps none other than Justin Fields and the Bears taking Gillette Stadium by storm and preventing Belichick from surpassing Papa Bear Halas in wins for at least one more week (Alex is clearly biased, but this undeniably was a major win). Tune in to hear Rob and Alex break down some of the week's major events!
