On the Stanford football podcast for today:

Stanford’s (8-3) offense worked for them as the Cardinal ran away with the game and had the wherewithal in a 45-31 win over the Cal Bears (4-7) in the rain at Memorial Stadium at Cal Berkeley. The win was the Cardinal’s seventh straight over Cal for the Big Game and running back Christian McCaffrey had himself an afternoon proving why he’s the best back in the country with 284 yards and three touchdowns. Stanford quarterback Keller Chryst threw for 198 yards and two touchdowns.
