On the Cardinal podcast:

#1 Washington State Cougars (5-4) quarterback Cameron Ward had himself quite an afternoon at Stanford Stadium with two touchdown passes and one keeper as the Cougars ran away with a 52-14 win against the Stanford Cardinal (3-6) on Saturday afternoon.

#2 It was an important win for the Cougars they came to Stanford with a three game losing streak and put their shoulder into this one with a convincing win against the Cardinal to snap the three game losing streak.

#3 Michael, it was another offensive struggle for Stanford quarterback Tanner McKee who threw for 23 for 40 for 236 yards, problem was Tanner didn’t throw for any touchdowns.

#4 It was Stanford running back Ashton Daniels who provided all the offense the Cardinal would get for the afternoon and who carried for two touchdowns in seven carries averaging 14 yards a carry.

#5 The Cardinal in their last four games are playing .500 ball having lost two of their last four games. The Cardinal hope to put this game with Wazoo behind them and get ready for the Utah Utes (7-2) in Utah. The Utes are running hot having won three straight games. Tell us Michael how you see this match up this coming Sat Nov 12th.

Washington State was not finished scoring, as they tacked on another 21 points on their opponent. Stanford’s three fumbles helped a great deal too in Washington State’s prolific scoring. Ashton Daniels fumbled, which was recovered by freshman safety Jaden Hicks for a 17-yard touchdown.

On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Daniel:

#1 One thing for sure Daniel the UCLA Bruins (7-1) left very little doubt that coming off a loss to the Oregon Ducks the previous game didn’t shake their confidence as they had a mission and soundly defeated the Stanford Cardinal (3-5) last Saturday 38-13.

#2 UCLA running back Zack Charbonnet was all the rage on Saturday rushing for 198 yards and three touchdowns

#3 The Bruins 12th ranked came back from their previous and first loss of the season to Oregon and pretty much got some good defense to hold the Cardinal to only 13 points for the win.

#4 Cardinal quarterback Tanner McKee just couldn’t move the ball like he wanted to and was on the run for a lot of the game trying to find open receivers.

#5 The Washington State Cougars (4-4) come to Stanford after losing three straight games. The Cougars lost to the Utah Utes last Saturday 21-17. Daniel give your prediction how you see this match up this Saturday at Stanford Stadium a 12:30pm kick off.

Saturday, October 29, 2022

Ashton Daniels was the top rusher for the Cardinal (3-5 overall, 1-5 Pac-12). And Benjamin Yurosek caught five passes for 32 yards and one TD.

Cardinal kicker Joshua Karty hit both of his field goal attempts, remaining perfect on 14 attempts for the season.

On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Michael:

#1 One of the things they talked about all week was how quick the UCLA Bruins (6-1) line is how much time will Stanford Cardinal (3-4) quarterback Tanner McKee have and will he be forced to keep the ball at times?

#2 The Cardinal have won two games in a row and at one time they had an 11 game win streak against the Bruins.

#3 Head coach David Shaw has coached the Cardinal to five out six wins against ranked UCLA teams.

#4 The Cardinal are coming off wins against Notre Dame and Arizona State both wins were razor close. Against the Fighting Irish 16-14 and against the Sun Devils 15-14. Could they wind up pulling off a squeaker against the Bruins tonight?

#5 In McKee’s last game he threw 33-57 for 320 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions, seeing how UCLA can put the pressure on he’s going to need another 300 yard plus game with three or four touchdowns against the Bruins?

Stanford Kicker, Joshua Karty Hails as the Homecoming Hero with 5 FG’s to Edge Past Arizona State, 15-14

STANFORD, Calf.–  The Stanford Cardinal won their Homecoming game on the mighty foot of junior kicker, Joshua Karty, as his five field goals were enough to extinguish the Arizona Sun Devils, 15-14, by a proverbial toenail.

“Yeah, it doesn’t make any sense, but as an old coaching thing that I heard a long time ago that I say sometimes too, which is like, you win one game, win the second one and make it count. That can’t just be a stand-alone game.

You have to go on and win the next one to prove that it wasn’t a fluke.”  Stanford HC David Shaw on team’s consecutive wins.

Stanford initially took the lead the first five minutes of the game, on a 44-yard field goal by Joshua Karty.  Unfortunately, that didn’t last long, because Sun Devil’s graduate running back, X Valladay scampered for a 15-yard touchdown.  Karty kicked another field goal (36yd) within the last two minutes of the first quarter, 7-6 ASU.

Not satisfied with the one-point advantage after 15 minutes of action, Arizona State scored less than a minute into the second stanza, on a 39-yard bomb pass from junior quarterback, Emory Jones to sophomore wide receiver, Elijhah Badger..! 4-6 ASU.

The remaining 14 minutes of the half had both quarterbacks (Jones & Tanner McKee) exchanging interceptions, and Arizona State’s freshman kicker, Carter Brown missed a field goal with 1:00 on the clock.  The Cardinal avoided being down by double-digits at the half. 14-6 ASU.

Joshua Karty converted his third field goal (44 yards) late in the third and his fourth (36 yards) early in the fourth quarter, to bring Stanford within two points in the final quarter.  14-12 ASU
With the game still in the balance, “Mr. Homecoming ” used his right foot again to put out the Sun Devils’ fire, with a 47-yard game winning boot.

Joshua minimized the magnitude of the big annual game.

  “Oh, I try to keep the external dynamics kind of out of my head, like in a game. It was nice that it was homecoming, but for me, when I woke up this morning it was another game to stay locked in as usual.” 

“But just glad I could contribute to the team and get a great team win today.”  Added Karty.

Junior quarterback Tanner McKee threw for an impressive 320 yards on a whopping 57 attempts, but didn’t get into the endzone and threw an interception.  He was just happy for the win.

 The crucial victory marks the Cardinal’s first Pac 12 win of the season, and third overall.  Stanford (3-4) heads down to the “City of Angels” next, to take on the #9 UCLA Bruins (6-1), Saturday, October 29.  

Coach Shaw is ready for the challenge: 

“Looking forward for this team to come back and see who’s healthy this week from today, and then put together a good plan, have our guys get ready to go down to Southern California and fight, and looking forward to this week.”

The Stanford Cardinal win their Homecoming contest by a single point (15-14): however, former player, Bryce Love was inspirational in the victory with his presence on the Farm, according to Coach Shaw.  Cardinal Alum, Christian McCaffery being traded to the San Francisco 49ers also gives him comfort and pleasure, with him now now being nearby the campus and football program.
