On the Stanford Cardinal podcast with Michael Roberson:

#1 The TCU quarterback Justin Hoover led the Horned Frogs with 353 passing yards and got TCU a go ahead touchdown in the second half to help defeat the Stanford Cardinal at Stanford Stadium last Friday 34-37.

#2 Former Cal Bears head coach and current TCU head coach Sonny Dykes said “We talked a lot about about being mentally tough,” Dykes said. “I thought we were. We got down and guys never blinked.”

#3 Stanford had the half time lead 17-10 taking a look at that first half how good did the Cardinal look they did get off to a good start.

#4 The Cardinal have used multiple quarterbacks as head coach Troy Taylor as promised with Aston Daniels and Justin Lamson. Is using quarterbacks working or confusing for the offense?

#5 The Cardinal host the Cal Poly Mustangs. The Mustangs last Saturday lost by a touchdown 27-21 to the San Diego Toreros. This might be one of those games where the Cardinal have not only the home field but a shot at getting in the win column next Saturday at 4:00pm PT.
