On Headline Sports podcast with Michael Roberson:

#1 Head coach Troy Taylor has had a rough last two seasons finishing with duplicate records of 3-9. Coach Taylor is hoping to get things turned around with a league and with Ashton Daniels under center.

#2 Stanford enters the 2024 season with it’s worst three year losing record since 1958-1960 can being in the ACC make a difference, bring optimism and a new foundation in the ACC?

#3 Elic Ayomanor is someone that Taylor and Daniels will be relying on. Aymmanor will be looking for some key passes and if Stanford is to win this year’s he’ll be carrying a good amount of passes.

#4 The Cardinal have a lot of holes on both sides of the ball but defense is a major concern. Stanford has been rated with the worse defense in college football coming in and there was not much movement in the portal to fix it in the off season.

#5 The Cardinal opened up against the TCU Horned Frogs Fri Aug 30. The Horned Frogs were below .500 last season and head coach Sonny Dykes says he hoping for a shot to return to the National Championship game where they were in 2022. In 2023 the Horned Frogs struggled finishing two games below .500 at 5-7. Taking both teams 2023 experiences in account do you think this opener Friday could be a tight contest?

On Stanford Cardinal football podcast with Michael Roberson:

#1 The Stanford Cardinal were 3-9 last season the were tied with Arizona State for last place in the Pac 12.

#2 Now that the Cardinal are in the ACC where do you think they’ll be ranked going into the 2024 season?

#3 In poll of 170 members of the media for ACC.com the Florida State University (FSU) were predicted to win it all and for Stanford they were predicted to finish last in the poll.

#4 Stanford will need some growth at quarterback Junior Ashton Daniels started ten times last season he threw for 2247 yards, 11 touchdowns, 8 interceptions, can Daniels have a break through in the ACC and raise Stanford’s position in the rankings. He certainly will need to come out with a strong offense and beat some challenging ACC teams?

#5 Maxwell Award candidate from last season wide receiver WR Elic Ayomanor is someone that Daniels will be looking to throw to. With Ayomanor’s credentials and with last year’s experience Daniels and Ayomanor could be not only an exciting one two combination but excite the ACC if they can turn it around from last season?
