On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Michael Roberson:

#1 There was no stopping the SMU Mustangs last night at Stanford Stadium Michael they were fired up to face the Stanford Cardinal and no one was anymore fired up than Mustangs quarterback Kevin Jennings who threw for three touchdowns.

#2 The 40-10 loss to the Mustangs was the second consecutive game where Cardinal were landslided the week before on Sat Oct 12 the Cardinal were crushed by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 49-7. No doubt Stanford’s defense has been struggling in the last two games.

#3 Jennings who threw for three touchdowns also was 17-27 and had 332 yards and it looked like he had all day to throw the football against the Stanford defense.

#4 Stanford coach Troy Taylor is concerned after Stanford has now lost four games in row, “It’s tough. It’s painful for everybody to lose when its not close at the end,” Taylor said. “You’re always concerned about it. But these are the most resourceful men I’ve been around.”

#5 Stanford is up against Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Stanford Stadium on Sat Oct 26th. Wake Forest are 3-4 and won their last game against the UConn Huskies in a close one 23-20. Can Stanford regroup and have a shot against Wake Forest with the Cardinal having home field?
