Stanford Cardinal podcast Michael Roberson:

#1 Frank Reich is the interim coach for the Stanford Cardinal will a few wins take the interim name off and would Stanford consider Reich as head coach if things work out this season?

#2 Stanford Cardinal general manager Andrew Luck is in charge of getting the Cardinal in gear and he’ll be working closely with Reich.

#3 Taking a look at Stanford’s first game in Honolulu against the University of Hawaii the Cardinal came within an eyelash of winning that game last Saturday but the Rainbow Warriors got a field goal from kicker a 38-yard field goal by Kansei Matsuzawa, his third of the game with three seconds left to win it 23-20.

#4 In spite of the loss the Cardinal got good offensive production from quarterback Ben Gulbranson who threw 15-30, 109 yards, and one interception no touchdown passes but kept the Cardinal in the game.

#5 It’s off to BYU and the Cougars as it will the second game of the season for BYU they host Portland State this Sat Aug 30th in Provo. The Cardinal came close and really want to get that first win can they do it against this BYU team Saturday?
