Stanford Cardinal podcast with Michael Roberson:

#1 The SMU Mustangs bulldozed the Stanford Cardinal last Saturday 40-10. Mustangs quarterback Kevin Jennings threw three touchdown passes and the Cardinal defense simply couldn’t stop Jennings and the Mustangs.

#2 The win puts the Mustangs at 6-1 and the win over Stanford is their eight straight road win. SMU scored three touchdowns in the first quarter to get things started.

#3 The Cardinal have dropped to 2-5 and continue to have a winless conference record at home through Cardinal head coach Troy Taylor’s first two years at head coach.

#4 The Cardinal have now lost 11 straight home games and 16 games against ranked teams. The last time Stanford won a home game was against the No.3 Oregon Ducks 31-24 back on Oct 2, 2021.

#5 Stanford faces Wake Forest who are 3-4 and have lost three of their last five games and they just got by UConn in their last game Saturday by a field goal 23-20. Stanford comes in on a four game losing streak with the home field advantage this Saturday. Michael how do you see this match up between Wake Forest and Stanford and can the Cardinal stop the bleeding?
