After a defeat in its second Pac-12 game of the season, the Cardinal was counted out of the conference race by most. Stanford answered by defeating eight straight Pac-12 opponents en route to the 99th Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO. By comparison, the next best active Pac-12 winning streak is two games (Arizona State). The Cardinal’s run culminated with playing in its first Pac-12 Football Championship Game on Nov. 30 vs. UCLA. The Bruins led 24-17 into the fourth quarter before Stanford answered with 10 points in a span of four-plus minutes to win, 27-24. To reach the conference title game, the Cardinal had to win its division. Stanford and Oregon finished for a second straight year tied at 8-1 atop the Pac-12 North. The Ducks won the head-to-head tiebreaker in 2011 and advanced to the inaugural Pac-12 FCG against UCLA. The Cardinal advanced this year by virtue of its win at No. 1 Oregon on Nov. 17. Stanford had last won its conference in 1999 as the Pac-10 Conference Champions (7-1). The school now owns 13 conference championships: 2012, 1999, 1992, 1971, 1970, 1951, 1940, 1935, 1934, 1933, 1927, 1926 and 1924.
Déjà Vu, UW? Stanford for the second straight time will face Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl Game, following the Cardinal-Badgers meeting 13 years ago in the 2000 edition. Wisconsin defeated Stanford, 17-9, before a sea of cardinal and red (93,731). Wisconsin will be coached Jan. 1 by athletic director Barry Alvarez, who coached the Badgers from 1990 to 2005 before retiring. He is returning to the sideline after head coach Bret Bielema accepted the same job at Arkansas. Alvarez is 3-0 in the Rose Bowl Game, including the 2000 victory over Stanford. Stanford led the 86th Rose Bowl Game at halftime, 9-3, before falling in the second half. The Cardinal lesson learned that day? Keep healthy. The Cardinal fought despite debilitating injuries to a trio of top players. Biletnikoff Award winner Troy Walters dislocated his wrist three days earlier, while center Mike McLaughlin tore his ACL four days before the game. Star defensive tackle Willie Howard damaged his ACL and MCL in the regular season finale vs. Notre Dame. From bad to worse, Stanford saw long snapper John Sande go down with an ankle sprain in the first quarter of the game.
It’s a BCS Life The Cardinal is making its fourth all-time BCS bowl appearance, tied for 12th best among FBS schools in the Bowl Championship Series Era that began with the 1998 season. Stanford has played previously in the 2000 Rose Bowl Game, 2011 Orange Bowl and 2012 Fiesta Bowl. The string of three straight BCS bowl games is a feat claimed by just seven other schools. Stanford’s active three-game BCS streak is matched only by Oregon and Wisconsin. Playing in three different BCS bowl games in three consecutive years is special for both the team and its fans. That unique BCS three-peat has also been accomplished by Miami, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Oregon. Dare to (Sugar) dream of a new, fourth BCS game for Stanford next year? Such a run has happened once before, when the Miami Hurricanes played Sugar/Rose/ Fiesta/Orange the 2000 through 2003 seasons.
Cardinal Rising Stanford’s current seven-game winning streak is tied for the fourth-longest overall winning streak in the nation (behind Northern Illinois, Ohio State and Notre Dame). The Cardinal enjoyed the longest winning streak in the FBS as recently as November 2011, when it had stacked 17 straight wins. The Cardinal is tied with Ohio State and Oklahoma among BCS conference teams for the longest winning streak in the nation vs. conference opponents (eight). Stanford has compiled a 42-10 (.808) record over the last four seasons, finishing 8-5 in 2009, 12-1 in 2010 and 11-2 last season. The Cardinal’s 42 wins rank second only to Oregon’s 45 among Pac-12 teams during this stretch, while its .805 winning percentage stands sixth among all FBS teams. Stanford is one of just four teams in the nation from BCS conferences that has compiled 34 or more wins over the last three seasons along with Oregon (35), LSU (34) and Alabama (34). The Cardinal’s .872 winning percentage since 2010 is tied for third-best among FBS teams during that stretch.

Stanford has posted a 30-6 record in Pac-12 Conference play over the last four seasons, which ranks second only to Oregon’s 33-3 mark. Prior to its 8-5 finish in 2009, the Cardinal suffered through seven straight losing seasons, compiling a 25-55 record from 2002-08. Stanford has won eight or more games in each of the last four seasons, a feat last accomplished 1926-1930 when Glenn “Pop” Warner coached on The Farm. The Cardinal’s three straight 11-win seasons are unprecedented in school history. Stanford had never won 11 games prior to 2010 and had reached 10 wins only three times previously (1926, 1942 and 1992). Stanford is playing in a bowl game for the fourth consecutive season, a first in school history, including three straight BCS bowls.
Cardiac Cardinal Stanford has made a habit of rallying in crunch time for victories this season. The Cardinal has manufactured game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime in six games:

The Cardinal has come back from second-half deficits routinely this year. Stanford trailed by seven points vs. USC, by 14 points vs. Arizona, by 11 points vs. Oregon State, by seven points at Oregon and by seven points vs. UCLA in the Pac-12 Football Championship Game.
Working Overtime Stanford thrice this season has been pushed to overtime, with decisions against Arizona (W, 54-48), Notre Dame (L, 20-13) and Oregon (W, 17-14). This is the first season in which the Cardinal has played multiple overtime contests in the same regular season and the first with consecutive overtime games. The Cardinal has now played beyond regulation in five of its last 19 contests. Stanford went three overtime periods before defeating USC (Oct. 28) last year in Los Angeles, 56-48. The Cardinal was edged by Oklahoma State (Jan. 2) in the 2012 Fiesta Bowl, 41-38. Stanford’s all-time overtime ledger stands at 5-4. The Cardinal is 2-1 at home, 3-2 away and 0-1 in neutral site overtime games:

Overtime was introduced to college football in 1996. Stanford played four overtime games in the first 15 seasons before a swath of five overtime contests in the span of 15 months.
Poll Watching Stanford is ranked eighth in the USA Today Coaches’ poll (Dec. 2). The Cardinal is ranked eighth in the Associated Press Top 25 (Dec. 2), a school-record 46th straight week Stanford has been ranked among the AP’s top 25. The streak is tied for the fifth longest in the nation, dating back to Sept. 5, 2010. Prior to the 2012 AP preseason poll, the Cardinal had been ranked 23 consecutive weeks among its top 10. Stanford finished last season ranked No. 7 in both the AP and USA Today Coaches’ polls, marking the second straight season the Cardinal had finished inside the top 10 after being ranked No. 4 at the conclusion of the 2010 season. The Cardinal finished No. 6 in the final BCS standings (Dec. 2) of 2012. Stanford finished each of the past two seasons at No. 4 in the final BCS standings. Stanford and Oregon are the only two schools in the country to finish top-10 in each of the last three years in the BCS standings.
The Nation’s Most Complete Back One of the top running backs in the Pac-12 Conference and a national semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award, senior Stepfan Taylor has few peers in college football. Taylor does not need to come off the field for any situation: third-down, short-yardage, goal line, empty formation or wildcat direct snap. Among Stanford’s tailbacks, Taylor carries the ball on 77 percent of first-down rushes and 77 percent of thirddown rushes. Taylor’s 823 career carries ranks third in the NCAA among active rushers and first all-time at Stanford, passing Darrin Nelson (730) in November for the school

record. Taylor also passed Toby Gerhart (671) and Brad Muster (703) in 2012. Taylor is Stanford’s all-time career rushing leader with 4,212 yards, eclipsing Darrin Nelson’s school record (4,169) in the Pac-12 Football Championship Game. In a September matchup against No. 2 USC, Taylor passed Brad Muster (3,080) and at Cal in the Big Game passed Toby Gerhart (3,522). With 1,442 rushing yards this season, Taylor has recorded his third consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season – a feat never previously accomplished at Stanford. (Darrin Nelson ran for three 1,000-yard seasons in 1977, ‘78 and ‘81.) The 1,442-yard rushing season in 2012 for Taylor is the second-best in Stanford history. The senior running back at UCLA surpassed his junior season in 2011 (1,330) for second on the single-season rushing charts. Toby Gerhart’s 2009 mark of 1,871 yards is the school record. Taylor is producing the best season of his career (110.9 yards/game) despite having the most inexperienced offensive line of his career. Stanford’s 37 combined career offensive line starts coming into the season ranked 103rd in the FBS. The average returning career offensive line starts for the top 20 FBS running backs in the country this season: 69. Nov. 10 vs. Oregon State, Taylor fumbled for the first time in nearly a calendar year, snapping a streak of 261 consecutive rushes without a fumble dating back to Nov. 26, 2011. Renowned for making defenders miss and for moving his legs forward on contact, Taylor earlier this season orchestrated a string of 58 consecutive rushes without being stopped for a loss. Taylor has averaged 6.1 yards per carry in bowl games in his Cardinal career. In BCS bowl games, he has rushed for 145.5 yards per game and scored two touchdowns. Also a creative and prolific producer of videos, Taylor’s alter ego “Kulabafi” is a YouTube fascination and has been the source of media attention this season.

Stanford Trees Stanford’s tight end tandem of Zach Ertz (66-837-6) and Levine Toilolo (24-393-4) has combined to catch 90
passes for 1,230 yards and 10 touchdowns this season, a year after they totaled 52 receptions for 689 yards and 10 touchdowns. Toilolo leads Stanford in yards per catch (16.4), while Ertz leads the team and the nation’s tight ends with 66 receptions and 837 receiving yards. Both were named to the John Mackey Award Midseason Watch List (Oct. 15). Ertz was named one of three finalists for the award recognizing the nation’s outstanding collegiate tight end. Either Ertz or Toilolo has led Stanford in receiving in 10 of 13 games this season. The duo has accounted for 10 of Stanford’s 19 receiving touchdowns this season. Last season, tight ends combined for 20 of 38 Stanford touchdown receptions, with Coby Fleener leading the team with 10 touchdown grabs. Ertz has garnered 39 first downs with receptions this season, while he has scored touchdowns on five of his 11 red zone receptions. Four of Toilolo’s five red zone catches have converted for touchdowns this year. A 2012 unanimous All-American, Ertz caught the game-winning touchdowns vs. No. 2 USC and No. 13 Oregon State. He hauled in a career-high 11 receptions at No. 1 Oregon, including the game-tying acrobatic touchdown in the back of the endzone at Autzen Stadium – with 95 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to send the game to overtime. Ertz’ 15 career touchdown receptions puts him one back of the school’s top-10 list and three scores behind Coby Fleener’s Stanford tight end record (18). He is one reception and 97 yards away from breaking into Stanford’s all-time top 10 in each category among all pass catchers. With three 100-yard receiving games on the season, Ertz is one more 100-yard performance away from becoming the first tight end to crack that Stanford single-season chart. Six tight ends on 2012 NFL active rosters were grown on “The Farm” – Jim Dray (Arizona Cardinals), Coby Fleener (Indianapolis Colts), Erik Lorig (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Evan Moore (Seattle Seahawks), Konrad Reuland (New York Jets) and Alex Smith (Cleveland Browns).
Making the Right QB Call In an extraordinary move, Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football David Shaw changed his starting quarterback in the middle of an historically successful season. After senior Josh Nunes started the first nine games (7-2), sophomore Kevin Hogan made his starting debut on Nov. 10 vs. 13th-ranked Oregon State. The Cardinal had a four-game conference winning streak and stood one game back in the Pac-12 North standings, set to begin its most difficult run of the schedule. The move was primed a week earlier at Colorado, when Hogan came into the game on Stanford’s third offensive series and led the Cardinal to six straight scores (five touchdowns, one field goal) in a 48-0 win. Hogan completed 18 of 23 passing for 184 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in his breakout performance. Hogan in his starting debut vs. the Beavers threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns on 22 of 29 passing, also rushing for 49 yards and three first downs. The sophomore slinger is 4-0 in four starts against four ranked opponents. He was named the MVP of the 2012 Pac-12 Football Championship Game. Both Nunes and Hogan this season began 3-0 as Stanford’s starting signal caller, a feat which had not been accomplished by a Cardinal quarterback since Steve Stenstrom in 1991. Stenstrom like Hogan was a sophomore in his first year playing, following a redshirt year. Stenstrom took the starting reins in the fifth game and won his first seven career starts. David Shaw was a wide receiver and classmate of Stenstrom’s at Stanford.

ROSE BOWL GAME GUIDE
VS. WISCONSIN
J A N U A RY 1 , 2 0 1 3 • PA S A D E N A , C A L I F O R N I A
Hogan’s Heroes Kevin Hogan’s quarterback rating through nine games - the first of which at Washington saw Hogan run one play - is 152.2. If he had the minimum required games played, the sophomore slinger would rank 26th in the nation in passing efficiency. At his best in the red zone, Hogan has a 284.9 passer rating with 87.5 percent completions for seven touchdowns on 14 of 16 passing in his first season of college football. A dual threat in Stanford’s offense, Hogan has averaged 7.14 yards per carry on his non-sack rushes this season, picking up a first down 15 times on 40.5 percent of those carries. He led all Cardinal ballcarriers at Colorado with 48 rushing yards and became the first Stanford player this season to tally two 20-yard rushes in the same game. Hogan’s 209 net yards rushing currently tie him for fifth all-time among Cardinal quarterbacks, alongside Jim Plunkett’s 1970 season that carried Stanford to the Rose Bowl Game. Next ahead of Hogan in the record book is Don Bunce (250), who returned Stanford to Pasadena the next year. The rollout passing of Hogan has also identified senior FB Ryan Hewitt as a valued target in the passing game. Hewitt had three catches for 19 yards through his first six games but now has 11 catches the past five games while connecting with Hogan, totaling 110 yards and a touchdown.
The Most Interesting Lineman in the World Junior OT/OG David Yankey, a native and citizen of Australia, has lived as many places on the offensive line this year for Stanford as he did in his globe-hopping childhood. The 6-foot-5 athlete was asked to start every game at left tackle in 2012, a year after starting all 13 games as a sophomore at his natural left guard position. One of the most interesting games within the game to watch for Stanford this year, Yankey continues to play both positions every week and play them at a high level. Though starting at tackle, Yankey has played upward of 20 percent of his snaps at guard. He has played four out of the five offensive line positions this season, plus tight end and wing. Yankey’s top performance of his career came against the Pac-12’s second-best defense Nov. 10 vs. Oregon State. Yankey played 50 snaps at tackle, 15 snaps at guard, plus three snaps at tight end. A 2012 consensus All-American, Yankey has graded out at 86 percent this season and allowed one quarterback sack. He won the 2012 Morris Trophy for the Outstanding Offensive Lineman in the Pac-12, as voted by the conference’s defensive linemen.
All Eyes on the O-Line The Cardinal’s 2012 offensive line carried over just two starters in the same positions as last year: fifth-year senior C Sam Schwartzstein and junior RT Cameron Fleming. Senior RG Kevin Danser and senior LG Khalil Wilkes have debuted this year in the starting lineup, while junior David Yankey has been working at a new position at left tackle. Stanford’s 37 combined returning OL starts ranked 103rd in the FBS for 2012. The offensive line allowed a conference-best 17 sacks in the Pac-12 regular season. In 2011, the Cardinal allowed 11 sacks in 13 games (0.85) for seventh-best in the nation, and six sacks in 13 games (0.46) which ranked second in 2010. The ground game is averaging 173.3 yards per game, including a season-high 257 rushing yards vs. Arizona and 252 yards at Cal. The Cardinal has amassed 200-plus yards in six of 12 games this year. The well-nicknamed “Tunnel Workers Union” moved earth and defenders to the tune of 210.6 rushing yards per game in 2011 (18th
in the nation), 213.8 yards in 2010 (17th) and 218.2 yards in 2009 (11th). Three true freshmen have seen action on the offensive line this year for Stanford: OG Joshua Garnett, OT Kyle Murphy and OT Andrus Peat. Rated as five-star recruits out of high school, the talented trio of frosh have played both in the main five offensive line positions and in the Cardinal’s six- and seven-linemen offensive sets. Garnett started vs. Washington State, while Murphy started vs. Oregon State and vs. UCLA in the Pac-12 Football Championship Game. Prior to this season, the Cardinal had played one true freshman offensive lineman in the previous decade (David Yankey, 2010). The last true frosh OL to start at Stanford before this season was Kirk Chambers in 2000. The myriad positions played by Stanford’s offensive linemen can sometimes call personnel into alternate jersey numbers. Junior OG Dillon Bonnell (No. 75) has worn No. 96 in action this season and freshman OT Kyle Murphy (No. 78) has donned No. 94. Murphy has had one pass attempt thrown his way, in the end zone vs. No. 2 USC.
An Historic Defense Stanford owns the No. 1 scoring defense in the Pac12, allowing 17.46 points per game which ranks 14th in the nation. The Cardinal ranked 10th in the nation in 2010 (17.38 points/game) and 30th in 2011 (21.92 points/game). In 10 of 13 games this season, Stanford has held opponents to 20 or fewer points. The Cardinal has held 24 out of its last 32 opponents to 20 or fewer points, dating back to 2010. The motto all year has been to “start fast and finish strong,” which has been borne out. Only five opponents have scored in 13 games against Stanford’s defense in first quarters of games this season, for a total of 34 points. Only four teams have scored against the Cardinal in the fourth quarter or overtime this year, and none since the Washington State game on Oct. 27 (a span of 81:29 plus OT at Oregon). Oregon’s scoreless first quarter at the hands of the Stanford defense was its first since a matchup against USC on Nov. 19, 2011. The Ducks owned the highest scoring offense in the FBS (54.8 points/game) until being held to 14 points by Stanford through four quarters and overtime, ending Oregon’s NCAA-record streak of 23 straight games scoring 30-plus points that included the last 13 consecutive games scoring 42-plus points. Stanford recorded a 48-0 shutout at Colorado, the first time the Buffaloes were held scoreless at home since Nov. 15, 1986 – a stretch of 150 games. The Cardinal set a school record by holding the Buffaloes to 76 total offensive yards. The previous mark was 80 yards vs. San Jose State in 1971. Stanford has recorded three shutouts in its last 14 conference road games dating back to 2010. The Cardinal previously had not shut out a conference opponent on the road since 1974 (Oregon). Stanford yielded a rushing touchdown Nov. 10 vs. Oregon State in the second quarter, the first ground score allowed by an opponent in 271:38 of game action (plus two untimed overtimes) dating back to the Arizona game on Oct. 6. The Cardinal defense has allowed only 12 passing scores this season, including a span of 192:24 of game time on the field without allowing a passing touchdown that ended in the final minutes vs. Washington.
Stopping the Run Stanford’s rushing defense is ranked third in the nation, allowing 87.69 yards per game and 2.84 yards per carry. The program’s defensive rushing records are 84.4

yards per game (2011) and 2.47 yards per carry (1971). The Cardinal’s results are more impressive considering the opposition. Stanford has played four games this year against Doak Walker Award finalists or consensus AllAmerican running backs. Wisconsin’s Montee Ball will provide a fifth such test in the Rose Bowl Game. Twelve of Stanford’s last 18 opponents have been held under 100 yards rushing, including eight of 13 games in 2012. In a string of three consecutive games this season, Stanford recorded three of its top 10 single-game rushing defense performances in school history: No. 3 at Colorado (minus-21 yards), No. 4 vs. Washington State (minus-18) and t-No.9 at California (3).
Behind Enemy Lines Stanford’s vaunted 3-4 defense ranks first in the nation in both tackles for loss (9.23 average, 120 total) and sacks (4.31 average, 56 total) this season. The Cardinal tallied a single-game school-record 10 sacks vs. Washington State. Stanford at UCLA broke the season school record of 48 sacks set in 1999 by the last Rose Bowl squad. The Cardinal defense has recorded double-digit tackles for loss in five games this season, with a high of 15 vs. Washington State. Eighteen different Cardinal players have recorded a tackle for loss in 2012. That breaks down to five defensive linemen (39.5 total TFL), eight linebackers (58.5 total TFL) and five defensive backs (22.0 total TFL). Four Stanford defenders currently rank in the Pac-12’s top-15 in tackles for loss: senior OLB Trent Murphy has 1.38 TFL/game (18.0 total – 6th); senior DE

Ben Gardner and fifth-year senior OLB Chase Thomas have 1.12 TFL/game (14.5 total – t-10th); and junior DE Henry Anderson has 1.00 TFL/game (13.0 total – t-15th). Murphy’s 18.0 TFL are the most by a Cardinal since 2000 (Riall Johnson, 20), and his 10.0 sacks are the most since 2004 (Jon Alston, 10.0). Numerous Stanford players in the defensive front seven employ the hashtag #PartyInTheBackfield on Twitter.
The D Strikes Back The Cardinal defense has scored in five games this season: Ed Reynolds INT return vs. Duke, Trent Murphy INT return at Washington, Chase Thomas fumble recovery at Notre Dame, Ed Reynolds INT return vs. Washington State and Ed Reynolds INT return at Colorado. Stanford defenders have snared 14 interceptions this season, led by junior FS Ed Reynolds (six) and sophomore SS Jordan Richards (three). The Cardinal totaled seven interceptions in all of 2011. Reynolds has returned a school-record three of his interceptions for touchdowns, which ties him for the NCAA lead. Reynolds’ 301 total interception return yards ranks first in the nation this season and is one yard shy of the NCAA record. Jordan Richards ranks t-35th in the nation in passes defended at 1.15/game (12 passes broken up and three interceptions).
Third-Down Defense The Stanford defense has been quick to get off the field in 2012, with 54 three-and-out possessions through 13 games. The Cardinal ranks 15th in the nation in thirddown defensive efficiency, allowing a conversion rate of only 31.10 percent. Stanford’s third-down defensive efficiency on the road this season has been staunch, allowing a conversion rate of only 25.26 percent. In a three-game November stretch, Stanford allowed only eight total third-down conversions by Oregon, Oregon State and Colorado.
Special Forces Stanford’s special teams have been invaluable in winning the field position battle in closely contested games this year. The Cardinal boasts one of the Pac-12’s top punt returners in senior Drew Terrell (12.61 yards), who ranks second in the conference and 15th in the nation The Cardinal’s kickoff coverage team has also cast a tight web with a net of 45.9 yards per kickoff (first in the Pac-12). Fifth-year senior P Daniel Zychlinski’s 42.9-yard average ranks 28th in the nation and currently stands as the fifth-best season in Stanford history. Junior kicker Jordan Williamson has kicked three game-winning field goals this season: vs. San Jose State, at Oregon, and vs. UCLA (Pac-12 FCG). Twice this season, the Cardinal has scored on special teams. Terrell ran back a punt 76 yards vs. Duke, and senior Usua Amanam recovered and ran back 11 yards a fumble forced by fifth-year senior Alex Debniak on a kickoff at UCLA.
All-Americans Senior TE Zach Ertz and junior OT/OG David Yankey were honored among the five All-America first teams officially recognized by the NCAA (American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, Sporting News and Walter Camp Football Foundation). Ertz was named to the All-America first team by all four organizations which included a
tight end this year (AP, AFCA, SN, WCFF). Yankey was named to the All-America first team twice (AFCA, SN) in addition to a second team (AP). Senior OLB Trent Murphy and junior FS Ed Reynolds also received third-team AP All-America honors. Ertz’ tally earned him the NCAA-confirmed title of 2012 unanimous All-American. He is Stanford’s seventh all-time unanimous All-American, joining David DeCastro (2011), Toby Gerhart (2009), John Elway (1982), Ken Margerum (1980), Bill McColl (1951) and Bobby Grayson (1935). Ertz is Stanford’s first unanimous tight end AllAmerican and the first anywhere since Heath Miller (Virginia) in 2004. Yankey earned the title of 2012 consensus AllAmerican, making Ertz and him Stanford’s 30th and 31st all-time consensus All-Americans. To be selected consensus, a player had to be named first team on at least two of the five selected All-America teams. Second and third teams were used to break ties.
Toppling the Top The Cardinal’s win at No. 1 Oregon was the second in school history against the AP’s top-ranked team. Stanford also defeated No. 1 Notre Dame on Oct. 6, 1990. Both victories came on the road. Stanford’s alltime record against top-ranked AP teams is 2-6-1. For the first time in school history, Stanford has defeated a team ranked No. 1 (Oregon - Nov. 17) and No. 2 (USC - Sept. 15) in the same season. The Cardinal is the only team in college football this year to play a team ranked No. 1 and No. 2 by the AP on its schedule. The last team to defeat AP No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the regular season was Miami in 2000. The last time Stanford had previously defeated two top-five teams in the same season was 2001 – at No. 5 Oregon and vs. No. 4 UCLA. That win at Autzen Stadium also upended an undefeated Ducks squad.
Record vs. Ranked Opponents Stanford leads the FBS this season with five wins (5-1 overall) vs. ranked opponents. That follows three wins (3-2) in 2012, two wins (2-1) in 2010 and three wins (3-0) in 2009. The Cardinal has defeated four consecutive ranked opponents in its last four games (No. 17 UCLA, No. 15 UCLA, No. 1 Oregon, No. 13 Oregon State), a first in school history. That streak will end on Jan. 1, as Wisconsin is unranked by the AP.
Strength of Schedule Stanford’s opponents in 2012 had the most combined FBS wins (85) of any team’s schedule in the nation. Notre Dame (12-0) went undefeated; Oregon (11-1) lost only to the Cardinal; and San Jose State (10-2) dropped only one other decision. Oregon State (9-3), UCLA (9-4), USC (7-5), Arizona (7-5), Duke (6-6), Washington (7-5), Cal (3-9), Washington State (3-9) and Colorado (1-11) round out the slate. Stanford’s schedule was rated by the computers one of the toughest in the nation again this year. The computer rankings utilized by the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) measure the Cardinal’s schedule strength in 2012: No. 1 (Massey), No. 3 (Colley), No. 5 (Anderson & Hester) and No. 6 (Sagarin). [Billingsley and Wolfe schedule strengths are unpublished.]
The Strange Season In the new era of Pac-12 Conference scheduling, Stanford played three non-Saturday games in 2012. The Cardinal opened the season Aug. 31 at home vs. San Jose State for the first Friday game in Stanford Stadium history. Stanford played at Washington Sept. 27 for the

Cardinal’s third Thursday night game in the last 15 years (‘08 vs. Oregon State, ‘98 at Arizona State). Stanford played the 2012 Pac-12 Football Championship Game vs. UCLA on Friday Nov. 30. The Cardinal matched up with the UCLA Bruins twice in six days, closing the regular season in Pasadena before returning home for the Pac-12 FCG. Stanford had not played a repeat opponent in a season since the rugby era a century ago. The consecutive Cardinal-Bruins bouts marked the first time since World War II that two Division I teams played each other in back-to-back weeks. Stanford and rival California played the 115th edition of the Big Game in an unprecedented October setting in Berkeley on Oct. 20. The only other one of the previous 114 Big Games not played in November or December took place on March 19, 1892 - the rivalry’s inaugural. For the second straight season, Stanford missed Arizona State and Utah in the Pac-12 Conference’s interdivision rotation. The Cardinal will face both opponents for home-and-home matchups in 2013-14. A pair of 2012 conference opponents in Arizona and Colorado are off the regular season schedule for Stanford in 2013-14. Stanford’s 2013 home schedule will welcome to Stanford Stadium: Arizona State, California, Notre Dame, Oregon, San Jose State, UCLA and Washington. The Cardinal next year will face on the road: Army, Oregon State, USC, Utah and Washington State.
Stanford has defeated both Los Angeles schools in each of last four seasons (2009-12), a first in school history against USC and UCLA. Each of the last seven times that Stanford has won a conference championship, it has defeated both USC and UCLA that season. Heading into its Jan. 1 game in Pasadena, Stanford has won 25 of its last 26 games played in California (only loss vs. No. 6 Oregon in 2011).
Eighteen additional Stanford players have made their collegiate debut in 2012: sophomores Kevin Anderson, Brendon Austin, Devon Cajuste, Lance Callihan, Ronnie Harris, Anthony Hayes, Kevin Hogan, Charlie Hopkins, Ra’Chard Pippens, Jordan Pratt, Kevin Reihner, Torsten Rotto, J.B. Salem, Patrick Skov, Remound Wright and Kelsey Young, plus juniors Dillon Bonnell and Conor McFadden.

Captains to Lead the Cardinal
Stanford ushered in a new era with iPad playbooks for the 2012 season. With the start of the Cardinal’s fall training camp, each Stanford player and coach received an iPad outfitted with a digital playbook powered by Denver-based partner PlayerLync. Five professional teams in the NFL are currently equipped through the same partnership, and Stanford is proud to be the first in college football to take this leap forward in operational efficiency, cost reduction and environmental responsibility. The voluminous paper playbooks which consumed trees, money and countless man-hours of production are now a thing of the past for Stanford. The training camp playbook, weekly game playbooks and daily notes are now all immediately published from the coaching staff to the players via unattended content synchronization, ensuring that Stanford’s players have all the right information as soon as it is available. Documents and video are automatically pushed to each team member’s iPad without their involvement.
Of Stanford’s last 28 wins dating back to the 2010 season, 15 have been by 25 points or more, while its average margin of victory in its last 28 wins has been 22.4 points (626 total). Stanford’s last 42 victories dating back to the 2009 season have come by an average margin of 22.0 points (923 total), while its nine losses have come by a margin of 7.4 points (67 total). The Cardinal is 16-11 in its last 27 games decided by a touchdown or less. Nine of those games have come in this heart-stopping 2012 season, with a 7-2 record.
Fifth-year senior C Sam Schwartzstein, senior RB Stepfan Taylor and fifth-year senior OLB Chase Thomas were named tri-captains for the 2012 season, as voted by their teammates. A fourth game captain may represent the special teams: fifth-year senior OLB Alex Debniak (San Jose State, Notre Dame and Pac-12 FCG), junior K Jordan Williamson (Duke and Oregon State), senior ILB Jarek Lancaster (USC and Colorado), sophomore WR Ty Montgomery (Washington), senior Drew Terrell (Washington State) and fifth-year senior P Daniel Zychlinski (Oregon and UCLA).
Home Sweet Home Stanford is 30-3 (.909) in its last 33 home games at Stanford Stadium, dating back to the final home contest of the 2007 season, with its only home losses coming against No. 6 USC (2008), California (2009) and No. 6 Oregon (2011) during that stretch. The Cardinal has twice in the past three years recorded an undefeated home record (2012, 7-0 and 2010, 6-0). The current crop of Cardinal seniors played two “final home games” at Stanford Stadium – Nov. 10 to close the regular season and then returning Nov. 30 for the Pac-12 Football Championship Game. Over its four years playing since 2009, this senior class owns a 25-2 (.926) record at Stanford Stadium. Stanford’s current nine-game home winning streak is the fifth-longest in the nation (behind Northern Ilinois, Michigan, Georgia and South Carolina). The Cardinal had recently won 11 straight home games at Stanford Stadium prior to its 53-30 loss to Oregon on Nov. 12, 2011. Stanford is averaging 38.2 points a game (1,223 total) over its last 32 home games while allowing just 21.9 (700 total).
Kings of California Having defeated Cal, USC and UCLA (twice) this season, Stanford has recorded a regular season sweep of its in-state conference rivals for 2012. The Cardinal also accomplished this feat in 2010 and 2011 and for the first time in school history has earned a California sweep in three straight seasons.
The Cardinal wore its black uniforms and black matte helmets twice this season, the third and fourth such appearance of Stanford’s black uniforms in school history. Stanford owns a perfect 4-0 record in its games dressed in black, all played at Stanford Stadium: Sept. 18, 2010 Oct. 1, 2011 Sept. 8, 2012 Nov. 30, 2012
Wake Forest UCLA Duke UCLA (Pac-12 FCG)

Stanford is averaging 47.5 points per game all-time when wearing black uniforms. The Cardinal has scored at least one touchdown in 15 of the 16 quarters it has dressed in black. Stanford has scored two or more touchdowns in eight of the 16 quarters.
Frosh Faces Time to Shine The 2012 Stanford signing class that was ranked fifth nationally by Rivals.com and sixth-best by Scout.com arrived on The Farm this season as freshmen. The offensive line class was hailed by some as the greatest in the history of college football. As a whole, the talent level of the class has lived up to expectations this fall. Eleven true freshmen have made their debuts this season, encompassing all three phases of the game on offense, defense and special teams: Alex Carter, Joshua Garnett, Zach Hoffpauir, Luke Kaumatule, Drew Madhu, Blake Martinez, Reed Miller, Kyle Murphy, Andrus Peat, Aziz Shittu and Kodi Whitfield. The defensive backs (Carter/Hoffpauir/Madhu) and offensive linemen (Garnett/Murphy/Peat) lead the way in this talented freshman class. By way of comparison, four true freshmen saw the field for the Cardinal in 2011. Six played in each of 2010 and 2009. Eight freshmen played in their first year in 2008. Joshua Garnett and Kyle Murphy are the first Stanford true freshmen to start on the offensive line since Kirk Chambers in 2000. Alex Carter has started the last seven games at cornerback. Reed Miller has started for the long and short snapping duties all season. Eight of the 11 true freshmen playing this season are starters on at least one special teams unit. Six of those freshmen are multiple-unit starters: Alex Carter, Joshua Garnett, Zach Hoffpauir, Drew Madhu, Blake Martinez and Reed Miller.
Cardinal Playbooks Go Digital
Leading in the Classroom Stanford in November was as a recipient of the American Football Coaches Association’s Academic Achievement Award. The honor recognizes the top Graduation Success Rate in the FBS, with Stanford recording a 100 percent graduation rate for its 2005-06 freshman cohort. Northwestern will also receive the award, to be presented January 7 in Nashville. The Graduation Success Rate was developed by the NCAA as an alternative tool to measure studentathlete graduations, while taking into account transfers from and into institutions. It differs from the Federal Graduation Rate, which measures the percentage of firsttime, full-time freshmen who graduate within six years of entering their original four-year institution The newest four-year Federal Graduation Rate for Stanford Football (87) ranks No. 1 once again in the Pac12 and No. 3 among Division I FBS schools. The singleyear Federal Graduation Rate for the Stanford 2005-06 freshman football cohort to most recently graduate is 94 percent. The aggregate Graduation Success Rate for all Stanford student-athletes (96) leads the Pac-12 and ranks No. 5 in the nation, while Stanford’s Federal Graduation Rate for student-athletes (92) is No. 1 in the nation. Stanford’s football program received an Academic Progress Rating (APR) of 977 last spring, which was the highest rating in the Pac-12 Conference and a figure that ranked 13th nationally among Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) institutions. Stanford had 65 players card a grade point average of 3.0 or better last spring quarter. Stanford University requires its students to declare an undergraduate major before starting their junior year. Among the team’s juniors and seniors, 19 different majors are represented. Sixteen Cardinal upperclassmen are engineering majors. Majors with three or more Cardinal scholar-athletes: biomechanical engineering, economics, management science & engineering, political science, psychology, and science, technology & society.

Shaw was named a finalist for the 2012 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award and Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year Award after leading the Cardinal to its 13th all-time conference title – and first Pac-12 Championship – which helped send Stanford to the 99th Rose Bowl Game. During the 2012 campaign, Shaw’s Cardinal has defeated five ranked opponents the most by any FBS team this season. Stanford has played its best down the stretch, defeating four straight top-20 teams in November to finish the regular season. The Cardinal has been ranked 46 straight weeks in the AP Top 25, dating back to Sept. 7, 2010. Under Shaw’s leadership, Stanford has earned berths to three consecutive BCS bowl games. The Cardinal has also finished three straight seasons in the top 10 of the BCS Standings (No. 6 in 2012, No. 4 in 2010 and 2011).

In Shaw’s first season as head coach in 2011, the Cardinal posted an 11-2 record and made its second consecutive BCS bowl appearance, falling to Oklahoma State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Stanford won its first nine games of the season to extend its winning streak to 17 straight before falling to No. 6 Oregon. Shaw became just the ninth major college head coach in history to post 11 or more wins in his first season and the first since Chris Peterson (13-0) of Boise State and Bret Bielema (12-1) of Wisconsin accomplished the feat in the 2006 season. For his efforts, Shaw was named the Pac-12 Conference Coach of the Year, becoming just the third head coach in Stanford history to earn the award, following Bill Walsh (1977) and Tyrone Willingham (1995 and ‘99). Shaw was also named Regional Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association of America (AFCA). The Cardinal was ranked in the top 10 of both major polls for all 16 weeks of the season, peaking at No. 3 in the AP poll and No. 2 in the USA Today Coaches poll on Nov. 6. Stanford’s final ranking of No. 7 concluded a stretch in which the Cardinal held down a spot in the top 10 of the AP poll for a school-record 22 straight weeks dating back to the 2010 season. Stanford’s 11 victories in 2011 came by an average of 27.4 points, while eight were in wire-to-wire fashion. The Cardinal posted a 3-2 record against ranked teams, defeating No. 22 Washington, No. 20 USC and No. 22 Notre Dame, while falling only to No. 6 Oregon and No. 3 Oklahoma State. Under Shaw’s direction, Stanford continued its reputation of fielding one of the most balanced offensive attacks in the nation. Behind Heisman Trophy finalist Andrew Luck, the Cardinal combined a pinpoint passing attack with one of the Pac-12’s top ground attacks to average 43.2 points a game, which ranked second in the conference and seventh nationally. Stanford’s final point total of 561 established a new single-season scoring record, breaking the previous mark of 524 set in 2010 by 37 points. The Cardinal’s deep running attack averaged 210.6 yards per game, a figure that ranked second in the Pac-12 Conference and 18th nationally. Its final rushing total of 2,738 yards ranked as the third-best single-season mark in school history. Stanford’s defense was ranked either first or second in the Pac-12 in six defensive categories, including rushing defense (1st - 84.4), third-down conversion defense (1st - 31.1), scoring defense (2nd - 21.9), total defense (2nd - 337.6), sacks-per-game (2nd - 3.00) and opponent first downs (2nd - 17.5). Five Stanford players - quarterback Andrew Luck, right guard David DeCastro, left tackle Jonathan Martin, tight end Coby Fleener and outside linebacker Chase Thomas - received AllAmerica first team honors in 2011. Luck was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation’s National Player of the Year along with receiving the Maxwell Award as the nation’s top player. Luck finished second

in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy and was named the Pac-12’s Offensive Player of the Year for a second straight season. DeCastro was a unanimous All-America selection, earning spots on the Walter Camp, AFCA, Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America and Sporting News All-America squads. Martin landed spots on the Walter Camp and AFCA squads, while Fleener and Thomas were named All-Americans by Sporting News. A total of 21 Stanford players earned all-conference recognition in 2011, including six players who earned first team honors; a total second only to USC’s seven. Twelve Stanford players landed spots on the Pac-12’s All-Academic team, including first team selections Andrew Luck and Brent Etiz. Luck was also named the Capital One Academic All-America of the Year by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Continuity a Key to Success Prior to his appointment as head coach, Shaw served as Stanford’s offensive coordinator for four seasons, playing an instrumental role in the resurgence of the Stanford program which established school scoring records in 2009 and 2010. Stanford was the ninth-highest scoring team in the nation in 2010, averaging 40.31 points a game. The Cardinal scored a school-record 524 points in 13 games, a point total that surpassed the previous record of 461, established by the 2009 team. During Shaw’s tenure as offensive coordinator, the Cardinal scored 40 or more points in 11 games from 2007-10. Stanford’s balanced offensive attack amassed a school-record 6,142 yards during the 2010 season, averaging 213.8 on the ground and 258.7 yards through the air. The Cardinal finished second in the Pac-10 and 17th nationally in rushing average and amassed the second-highest rushing total (2,779 yards) in school history. In addition, Shaw’s play calling ability in the red zone helped Stanford convert on a national-best 57.6 percent of its scoring opportunities inside the 20-yard line. Shaw tutored five running backs - Stepfan Taylor, Anthony Wilkerson, Tyler Gaffney, Usua Amanam and Jeremy Stewart - that combined to rush for 2,063 yards in 13 games, an average of 158.6 yards a game, offsetting Gerhart’s 143.9 yards per game average from previous season. Taylor’s final rushing total of 1,137 yards was the second highest total in school history, trailing only Gerhart’s senior total of 1,871.

another 721. He added 11 rushing touchdowns and even caught one touchdown pass. Shaw’s coaching resume also includes nine years of NFL experience with the Philadelphia Eagles (1997), Oakland Raiders (1998-2001) and Baltimore Ravens (2002-05). Shaw’s most recent coaching job in the NFL with Baltimore included a stint as the quarterbacks and wide receivers coach from 2002-04 before working solely with the wide receivers in 2005. His tenure included a 2003 campaign that reaped an AFC North title and a 10-6 regular season record. Derrick Mason set a new franchise record with 86 receptions under Shaw’s tutelage in 2005 when he also posted the third-biggest season to date in terms of receiving yards with 1,073. Mark Clayton set a franchise rookie record for receptions in 2005 when he caught 44 balls for 471 yards. After three seasons of quality control with the Oakland Raiders from 19982000, Shaw moved into the role of quarterbacks coach in 2001 as the Raiders won a second straight AFC West title and finished the regular season with a 10-6 mark. Quarterback Rich Gannon made the NFL Pro Bowl for the second straight season and ended up as the game’s MVP. Gannon had the third-most prolific campaign of his 16-year pro career during the 2001 regular season, throwing for 3,828 yards on 361-of-549 passing (65.8 pct.) Shaw began his NFL coaching career as the quality control coach with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1997. Shaw launched his coaching career at Western Washington, where he coached the outside linebackers in 1995 and the tight ends in 1996.
Roots on The Farm A four-year letterwinner at Stanford as a receiver from 1991-94, Shaw was a member of Stanford’s 1991 Aloha Bowl team coached by Dennis Green that finished the season with an 8-4 mark and was the third-highest scoring team in school history. Shaw was also on the Cardinal’s Blockbuster Bowl-winning 1992 squad coached by Bill Walsh that had a 10-3 overall mark. Shaw finished his Stanford career with 57 catches for 664 yards and five touchdowns. Shaw also competed in a varsity track meet and a varsity basketball game while at Stanford before graduating in 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.
A Family Affair David’s father, Willie, had two separate coaching stints at Stanford (1974-76, 1989-91) during his 33-year coaching career, which also included time with the Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders, San Diego Chargers and St. Louis Rams. Born in San Diego, Calif., David and his wife, Kori, are the parents of three children – Keegan, Carter and Gavin.
A Well-Rounded Résumé Prior to his appointment as offensive coordinator at Stanford, Shaw served as the wide receivers and passing game coordinator at the University of San Diego during the 2006 season, where he helped guide the nation’s top Division I-AA offense that paced the Toreros to the Pioneer League championship and NCAA Division I-AA Mid-Major national title. The Toreros led all NCAA Division I-AA teams in passing offense (293.3 yards/ game), total offense (494.25) and scoring offense (42.83). Quarterback Josh Johnson was one of four offensive All-Americans on the team and led all NCAA Division I-AA quarterbacks in passing efficiency (169.0 quarterback rating), touchdown passes (34 - co-leader), points responsible for (24.33) and total offense (336.7), while throwing for 3,320 yards to also lead the country and running for

Jay Cutler set single-season franchise records for completions (336) and passing attempts (555). Hamilton helped quarterback Kyle Orton compile the fifth highest completion percentage in team history (58.5) in 2008. One season prior, Orton, Rex Grossman and Brian Griese led a passing attack that finished with the third-most gross passing yards in team history (3,701). Hamilton began his coaching career at his alma mater, Howard, where he served as the Bison’s quarterbacks coach from 1997-2001. He also took on duties as the team’s offensive coordinator for three seasons (1999-2001). A former college quarterback, Hamilton earned Howard’s scholar-athlete award two consecutive seasons (1995-96) before earning his business degree in 1997. Pep and his wife have three children.

The 2012 season marks Pep Hamilton’s third on the Stanford coaching staff and his second as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Despite losing four 2011 All-Americans on the offensive side of the ball – including Heisman Trophy finalist Andrew Luck – Hamilton has continued to steer senior Stepfan Taylor into Stanford’s record book as its all-time leading rusher while grooming a pair of first-time starting quarterbacks in senior Josh Nunes and sophomore Kevin Hogan. Nunes was handed the reins to the offense and aided the Cardinal to a 3-0 start, including a home win over No. 2 USC. Hamilton has kept Hogan cool under pressure, as the signal caller has been victorious in each of his four starts – all against ranked opponents. In his first road start, Hogan helped Stanford defeat No. 1 Oregon in overtime, 17-14. The Pac-12 Football Championship Game MVP has completed 72.9 percent of his passes with a lofty 152.2 passing efficiency. Hogan was named All-Pac-12 honorable mention. In his first season as Stanford’s offensive coordinator in 2011, the Cardinal scored a school-record 561 points and averaged 43.15 points/game, seventh most in the nation. Stanford also set a school single-season record for total offense (6,361 yards) and finished eighth nationally in total offense/game (489.3). Stanford’s 210.6 rushing yards/game ranked 18th nationally. As quarterbacks coach, Hamilton worked closely with Luck, who earned Pac12 Offensive Player of the Year honors for a second straight season, won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, was voted Walter Camp Football Foundation Player of the Year and won the Maxwell Award as the nation’s top player. With 82 touchdown passes in 38 career games, Luck broke John Elway’s career record for touchdown passes and also moved to the top of Stanford’s career list in total offense, finishing with 10,387 yards. Hamilton oversaw one of the deepest receiving corps in the nation during his first year on The Farm, despite being without the services of talented junior Chris Owusu for most of the season. A total of 17 players caught passes, including 10 who hauled in at least one touchdown pass from Heisman Trophy runner-up quarterback Andrew Luck. Stanford’s wide receivers and tight ends combined to catch a school-record 32 touchdowns in 2010, as Stanford set single-season records for scoring (524), scoring average (40.3) and total offense (6,142). Prior to his appointment at Stanford in 2010, Hamilton spent three seasons (2007-09) as the quarterbacks coach of the Chicago Bears, one season (2006) as an offensive assistant and quarterbacks coach of the San Francisco 49ers and three seasons (2003-05) with the New York Jets, where he served as offensive quality control coach (2003) and offensive assistant/quarterbacks coach (2004-05). Hamilton also spent time on staffs of the Kansas City Chiefs (2000), Washington Redskins (2001) and Baltimore Ravens (2002) before landing his first full-time position with the Jets in 2003. In his final season as quarterbacks coach with the Chicago Bears, Hamilton helped

Mason, a Broyles Award finalist, has guided a 2012 Stanford defense that is not only one of the finest in the nation, but also one of the best in school history. At the conclusion of the Pac-12 regular season, Stanford ranked No. 1 in rushing defense (71.33 yards/game), sacks (4.42) and tackles for loss (9.25). Mason’s defense has set a Cardinal single-season record with 56 sacks. Stanford has held eight of 13 opponents under 100 yards rushing this season, and in a string of three consecutive games, the Cardinal recorded three of its top10 single-game rushing defense performances in school history: No. 3 at Colorado (minus-21 yards), No. 4 vs. Washington State (minus-18) and t-No.9 at California (three). The Cardinal at Colorado also set a school record by allowing a total of 76 offensive yards. In 10 of its 13 games this season, Stanford has held its opponent to 20 or fewer points. That included a 14-point effort in the overtime win at top-ranked Oregon, who led the FBS with a 54.8 scoring average. Defensive backs have helped lead the way for Stanford’s defense this year, including All-Pac-12 first team honors for junior Ed Reynolds and honorable mention for senior Usua Amanam, senior Terrence Brown and sophomore Jordan Richards. In his first season as associate head coach and co-defensive coordinator in 2011, Mason teamed with Jason Tarver to mold Stanford into one of the top defensive units in the Pac-12 Conference. The Cardinal ranked either first or second in the conference in six defensive categories, including rushing defense (1st - 84.4),

third-down conversion defense (1st - 31.1), scoring defense (2nd - 21.9), total defense (2nd - 337.6), sacks-per-game (2nd - 3.00) and opponent first downs (2nd - 17.5). Stanford finished third nationally in rushing defense. Mason’s 2010 secondary was one of the great turnaround stories in college football, leading Stanford to the 19th-best interceptions total (18) in the nation and 35th-ranked pass defense (202.0). Three players from that defensive backfield are playing on NFL active rosters today. Prior to his arrival at Stanford for the 2010 season, Mason served as an assistant defensive backs coach for the Minnesota Vikings from 2007-09, playing a vital role in the team ranking sixth in total defense in 2008 and 2009 as the Vikings won NFC North titles each season. Mason was introduced to the NFL coaching circles through the Minority Fellowship program in 1996 with the St. Louis Rams and also spent time with the coaching staffs of the New York Giants and Oakland Raiders. He joined the Vikings staff in 2007, where he worked with defensive backs coach Joe Woods. Prior to joining the Vikings, Mason tutored the wide receivers at Ohio University under head coach Frank Solich and helped the Bobcats improve from 4-7 in 2005 to a 9-5 mark the following season, culminating in an appearance in the GMAC Bowl against Southern Mississippi. Mason spent the 2004 season as the wide receivers coach at New Mexico State, where he helped the Aggies lead the conference in passing. During the 2002 season, Mason mentored the receivers and assisted with the special teams at the University of Utah. The Utes also featured the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft in quarterback Alex Smith and wide receiver draftee Paris Warren. Mason’s early stops in his coaching career included assignments at Mesa Community College (1994), Weber State (1995-96), Idaho State (1997-98) and Bucknell (1999-2001). As a player, Mason was a two-year starter and four-year letterwinner at Northern Arizona. A native of Phoenix, Ariz., Mason attended Camelback High School. Derek and his wife, Leighanne, have two daughters – Makenzie and Sydney.

six-year stay at Arizona, where he worked primarily with special teams. Alamar has coached on five teams that won at least 10 games - two at Arizona, two at Cal and one at Stanford - and has been a part of 11 bowl teams. Alamar has steered Stanford’s special teams to a trio of top 50 NCAA rankings this season in net punting (39th – 37.99/punt), punt returns (18th – 12.42 yards/ return) and kickoff returns (40th – 23.07). Even more, Alamar has played a pivotal role in the development of freshman Reed Miller, a Cardinal walk-on who has started every game this season as the long and short snapper. While at Fresno State, Alamar worked closely with punt returner Devon Wylie, who earned 2011 All-America honors from Yahoo! Sports (third team), Phil Steele (fourth team) and Sports Illustrated (honorable mention). Sophomore Isaiah Burse set NCAA FBS single-season records for most kickoff returns (75), most returns per game (5.8), kickoff return yardage (1,606) and most yards returned per game (123.5). In 2010, Alamar worked with two-time All-WAC kicker Kevin Goessling, who led the team in scoring with 105 points, making 21-of-26 field goals and 42-of-44 of his PATs. Jalen Saunders and Burse averaged over 20 yards on kick returns during the 2010 season under Alamar. During his two years at Fresno State, the Bulldogs blocked 18 kicks. During his seven years at Cal, the Golden Bears special teams were among the most electrifying units in the nation. Alamar coached All-America punt returner DeSean Jackson, who led the nation with an average of 18.2 yards per return and set a pair of Pac-10 records with four touchdown returns in 2006. Sporting News rated Cal’s special teams as the best in the Pac-10 in its 2007 preview issue. In 2008, Alamar mentored punter Bryan Anger, who was a finalist for the Ray Guy Award after earning first-team freshman All-America honors and second team all-conference accolades. As a player, Alamar earned three letters as an offensive guard/tackle, one at Western Oregon and two at Cal Lutheran, and played on two national playoff teams, one at each school. A native of Thousand Oaks, Calif., Alamar earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Cal Lutheran in 1983. Pete and his wife, Tina, have three daughters – Alicia, Alexandra and Amanda.

honors after leading the conference in tackles-for-loss and ranking second in sacks. Trent Murphy finished among the team’s top 10 tackle leaders with 40, including 6.5 sacks among his 10.0 tackles for loss. Another of Anderson’s pupils, Thomas Keiser, signed with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent and finished the season with 13 tackles, including four sacks, in eight games as a rookie in 2011. As recruiting coordinator from 2007-10, Anderson played an instrumental role in Stanford’s ability to land three consecutive nationally acclaimed recruiting classes that were both ranked in the top-25 by various scouting services. Anderson came to Stanford in January of 2007 after spending the previous two seasons working with current Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh at San Diego during the 2005 and 2006 campaigns. Anderson was also the recruiting coordinator at San Diego and coached the defensive line. Anderson was a major contributor to the Toreros finishing 11-1 each season and winning back-to-back NCAA Division I-AA Mid-Major national championships. Anderson was the outside linebackers coach at Utah State in 2004 and assisted with all special teams for an Aggies’ squad that was first in the nation in punt returns, 21st in kickoff returns and 28th in net punting. Anderson’s longest coaching stint was at Bucknell, where he coached for four seasons (1999-2002). Anderson coached the defensive line and was the recruiting coordinator in 2001 and 2002 after coaching tight ends and assisting on the offensive line in 1999 and 2000. A native of Rupert, Idaho, Anderson began his coaching career in 1997 at his alma mater, Idaho State. Anderson was a walk-on at Idaho State where he played linebacker for two seasons in 1993 and 1994. Anderson earned a bachelor’s degree from Idaho State in 1996 and is currently working on his master’s degree. Lance and his wife, Sherri, reside in Menlo Park with their three children – Aubrey, Jaren and Braden.
largely to the efforts of the offensive line paving the way for Doak Walker Award semifinalist Stepfan Taylor. Taylor is producing the best season of his career (110.92 yards/game) despite having the most inexperienced offensive line of his career. Stanford’s 37 combined career offensive line starts coming into the season ranked 103rd in the FBS. The average returning career offensive line starts for the top 20 FBS running backs in the country this season: 69. Bloomgren’s continued work with the Cardinal offensive line, which included three first year starters last season, played a pivotal role in providing protection in 2011 for quarterback Andrew Luck to complete over 70 percent of his passes and throwing a school-record 37 touchdowns, in addition to compiling the thirdhighest rushing total in school annals. Right guard David DeCastro was a unanimous 2011 All-America selection and finalist for the Outland Trophy, while left tackle Jonathan Martin earned first team Walter Camp Football Foundation and American Football Coaches Association All-America honors. Redshirt freshmen David Yankey and Cameron Fleming were all-conference honorable mention selections in their first seasons of collegiate competition. As run-game coordinator, Bloomgren’s play calling and schemes aided Stanford in compiling the third-highest single-season rushing output in school history with 2,738 yards. Prior to joining the Jets, Bloomgren served as offensive coordinator at Delta State for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. Bloomgren worked under both Mike Dubose and Dennis Franchione as a graduate assistant at Alabama from 1999-2001, helping the Tide to the 1999 Southeastern Conference championship. Bloomgren launched his coaching career as an undergraduate assistant for Bobby Bowden at Florida State, where the Seminoles captured a pair of ACC titles (1997-98) during his tenure. A 1999 graduate of Florida State with a bachelor’s degree in sports management, Bloomgren earned his master’s degree in higher education from Alabama in 2001. A native of Tallahassee, Fla., Mike and his wife, Lara, have two sons –Tyler and Parker.

The trio accounted for more than half of Stanford’s touchdown receptions (38) during an 11-2 campaign. Crook’s work with offensive line coach Mike Bloomgren helped shape the Cardinal’s front five into one of the nation’s top units in 2011 and 2012. Prior to his arrival at Stanford, Crook spent eight seasons (2003-10) as the offensive line coach at Harvard. He also had tenures at Illinois, West Liberty State, Glenville State, Clarion, West Virginia Tech and Cincinnati. While at Harvard, Crook’s offensive line helped pave the way for Clifton Dawson (2003-06) to set the Ivy League’s all-time career rushing record with 4,841 yards, breaking the former mark held by Cornell’s Ed Marinaro. Prior to his appointment at Harvard, Crook served on the coaching staff at Illinois from 2002, where he assisted with the offensive line. As a graduate assistant coach at Cincinnati in 1993, Crook helped the Bearcats to an 8-3 finish. Crook also served as the offensive line coach and offensive coordinator at West Liberty State, helping the Hilltoppers to the 2000 WVIAC title. Crook was part of coaching staffs at West Virginia Tech (1999), Glenville State (1997-98) and Clarion College (1994-96) and was part of NCAA Division II playoff teams at Glenville State and Clarion.

During his 21-year tenure as the defensive line coach at Washington, Hart helped guide the Huskies to 12 bowl appearances, including three straight Rose Bowl Games from 1991-93. His 1991 Husky defensive unit allowed only 101 points and 1,191 rushing yards in 11 regular season games en route to winning the school’s first national championship. Hart coached 14 first team All-Pac-10 Conference players while at Washington, and 11 of his players were selected in the NFL Draft. Hart developed four AllAmericans, three winners of the Morris Trophy (awarded to the conference’s top lineman) and two players named Pac-10 Players of the Year. One of his prized pupils at Washington was All-American Steve Emtman, who was the recipient of the 1991 Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy. In 2007, Emtman was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Hart’s first full-time coaching job was at the University of Tampa in 1972 under head coach Earle Bruce. A three-year football letterwinner, Hart was a member of the Buckeyes 1969 Rose Bowl Game and national championship team that finished 10-0. Hart was also a member of the Buckeye wrestling team in 1966. The native of Cleveland, Ohio, graduated from South High School in Willoughby, Ohio. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education from Ohio. Randy and his wife, Linda, have two sons – Jay and John. John was a threetime letterwinner on the Washington football team and graduated in 2002.

One of the most respected coaches in the collegiate ranks, Randy Hart is in his third season on the Stanford staff as defensive line coach. The 2012 season marks Hart’s 44th year as a collegiate coach, with stops at six other schools, including Tampa, Iowa State, Purdue, Ohio State, Washington and Notre Dame. Including this season’s Stanford Rose Bowl Game unit, Hart has been a member of 25 bowl teams in his collegiate coaching career, including eight Rose Bowl Game squads. Hart has had a hand in Stanford’s NCAA-best and school-record 56 sacks in 2012. The Cardinal also leads the nation with 9.23 TFL/game while ranking third in rushing defense (87.69 yards/game). Senior Ben Gardner and junior Henry Anderson both earned All-Pac-12 second team honors, each ranking top-15 in the conference and top-75 nationally in tackles for loss. The defensive ends have paired up for 27.5 tackles for loss and 13.0 sacks this season. In recognition of his coaching, Hart was named the 2012 FootballScoop Defensive Line Coach of the Year presented by ProGrass. Under Hart’s tutelage, the play of the defensive line has played a key role in the turnaround of Stanford’s defensive fortunes over the past three seasons. In 2011, the Cardinal ranked either first or second in the conference in six defensive categories, including rushing defense (1st - 84.4), third-down conversion defense (1st - 31.1), scoring defense (2nd - 21.9), total defense (2nd - 337.6), sacks/game (2nd - 3.00) and opponent first downs (2nd - 17.5).

Kotulski has also served on coaching staffs at Holy Cross, Utah State, Bucknell, Saint Mary’s and Utah during his 31year career. Kotulski helps oversee a Stanford linebacker corps that anchored the Cardinal throughout the 2012 season with the nation’s third-best rushing defense (87.69 yards/game) and the 14th-best scoring defense (17.46 yards/game). Under Kotulski’s direction, Lehigh’s defense ranked in the top three in six Patriot League defensive categories in 2011, including total defense (2nd - 315.7), rushing defense (3rd - 102.8), pass efficiency defense (1st - 109.6), interceptions (3rd - 11.2), sacks (1st - 2.62) and opponent third down conversion (1st - 33.3).

Sanford also serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator. This is Sanford’s second coaching stint on The Farm, as he served as an offensive assistant from 2007-08, working primarily with the quarterbacks. Sanford works closely with Doak Walker Award semifinalist Stepfan Taylor, who became Stanford’s all-time career rushing leader (4,175 yards) by breaking Darrin Nelson’s record which stood since 1981. Under Sanford’s direction, the Cardinal’s deep and versatile rushing attack ranked 18th nationally in 2011, averaging 210.6 yards per game. Stanford’s final rushing total of 2,738 yards was the third highest single-season mark in school history. The Cardinal also set a single-game record for rushing yardage, when it rolled up 446 yards on the ground against No. 22 Washington. Stanford’s ground game keyed an offense that ranked seventh nationally in scoring average at 43.2 points/game and eighth in total offense at 489.3 yards/ game. While at Western Kentucky, Sanford oversaw an offensive unit that featured running back Bobby Rainey, who finished third nationally in rushing average (137.42) and 11th in all-purpose yardage (156.58). Prior to joining the staff at Western Kentucky, Sanford worked as the tight ends and fullbacks coach at Yale, where he also served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. A former quarterback at Boise State, Sanford played on four bowl teams during his collegiate career as the Broncos compiled a cumulative 54-9 record during his stay, including an 11-1 record in 2004 which culminated with a Liberty Bowl victory over Louisville. Following his playing career, Sanford served as a volunteer student assistant on the Bronco coaching staff for spring practice in 2005 before accepting a graduate assistant position at UNLV, where he worked with his father, Mike, then the head coach of the Rebels and former offensive coordinator at Stanford. Sanford received his bachelor’s degree in political science from Boise State in 2005. Mike and his wife, Anne-Marie, reside on the Stanford campus with their daughter, Peyton.

Stanford 20, San Jose State 17
STANFORD, Calif. - Senior running back Stepfan Taylor rushed for 116 yards and the Stanford defense stepped up in the final quarter to help the heavily-favored Cardinal hold off upset-minded San Jose State 20-17 in the first-ever Friday night home game at chilly Stanford Stadium. Playing in front of an announced crowd of 40,577, Taylor eclipsed 100 yards for the 14th time in his career and scored on a one-yard run in the first quarter. Senior wide receiver Drew Terrell caught an 11-yard scoring pass from senior quarterback Josh Nunes late in the first quarter to give Stanford a 14-0 advantage. It was the first collegiate start for Nunes, who completed 16-of-26 passes for 125 yards and did not commit a turnover. Junior place kicker Jordan Williamson converted both of his field goal attempts, including a careerlong 46-yarder as time expired in the second quarter to lift the Cardinal to a 17-3 lead. Ultimately, his 20-yarder with 13:15 remaining in the game provided the margin of victory. San Jose State fought back to tie the game with two third-quarter touchdowns. The first came on a three-yard run by quarterback Blake Jurich to cap a 78-yard drive, and the second on a 21-yard pass from quarterback David Fales to wide receiver Noel Grigsby to finish off an 82-yard march. The Stanford defense, led by sophomore strong safety Jordan Richards, senior nickel back Usua Amanam, fifth-year senior outside linebacker Chase Thomas and junior free safety Ed Reynolds, blanked the Spartans in the fourth quarter, forcing two punts, held on fourth down, and intercepted a pass. Richards collected a team-high seven tackles; Amanam contributed six tackles, including four for losses, and recovered a fumble; Thomas had five tackles, including two for losses; and Reynolds forced a fumble and preserved the win by intercepting Fales on fourth and 10 from the San Jose State 30 with 1:10 left in the game. Stanford out-rushed the Spartans 155-72, but struggled on third down, converting only 2 of 13 opportunities. However, the Cardinal did not turn the ball over and finished plus-2 in turnover ratio. Of the 17 players who received first-ever playing time for Stanford, 10 were true freshmen. The Cardinal improved its record to 51-14-1 in the series and won for the ninth time in the last 10 meetings. Stanford has also won 24 of its last 27 home games.

A Look Back at Duke • The Cardinal defense locked down Duke early, forcing punts on the Blue Devils’ first seven series. Six of the game’s first seven Duke drives ended three-and-out. • After the first three-and-out that opened the game, Duke punted to senior Drew Terrell, who took his return 76 yards the other way for a touchdown and Stanford 7-0 lead before the offense ever took the field. • The punt return touchdown was the first of Terrell’s career and the first for a Stanford players since Richard Sherman versus San Jose State on Sept. 19, 2009. The 76-yard punt return for Terrell was the longest since Luke Powell’s 90-yard return versus UCLA on Nov. 1, 2003. • Terrell also scored a touchdown in the third quarter on a 19-yard touchdown in the third quarter, his second receiving score in as many games this season. Terrell became the first Stanford player to score on offense and special teams in the same game since Chris Owusu versus San Jose State on Sept. 19, 2009. • Senior quarterback Josh Nunes threw for career-highs versus Duke of 16 completions, 275 passing yards and three touchdowns, along with his first career interception. • Nunes completed five passes of more than 25 yards versus Duke after a long completion of 14 yards in the season opener versus San Jose State. A 43-yard connection with senior tight end Zach Ertz is Nunes’ new career high.

STANFORD, Calif. - Black uniforms and helmets definitely agree with the Stanford football team. For only the third time in school history, the 25th-ranked Cardinal wore them against Duke and rolled to a 50-13 victory at Stanford Stadium before an announced crowd of 44,016. In 2010, Stanford donned them in 68-24 win against Wake Forest. Last year, the Cardinal wore them in a 45-19 win against UCLA. Led by quarterback Josh Nunes and a suffocating Stanford defense, the Cardinal improved to 2-0 for the third-straight season. In only his second collegiate start, Nunes completed 16-of-30 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns. The defense had little trouble with Duke’s no-huddle offense, forcing sevenconsecutive punts to start the game. For the fifth game in a row, it held an opponent to less than 100 yards in net rushing, limiting Duke to 12. After going three-and-out with the opening kickoff, Duke (1-1) punted to Cardinal wide receiver Drew Terrell, who returned it 76 yards for a touchdown. Stanford tacked on nine points on three field goals by placekicker Jordan Williamson. The Cardinal increased its lead to 20-0 with 11:47 remaining in the second quarter on a 13-yard burst by running back Stepfan Taylor. The Blue Devils finally crossed midfield with 5:50 remaining in the half when cornerback Ross Cockrell intercepted a Nunes pass at the Cardinal 38. But once again, the Stanford defense was stout. On fourth and two from the 14-yard-line, inside linebacker Shane Skov, playing in his first game since suffering a season-ending knee injury last year in the third game against Arizona, deflected a pass by quarterback Sean Renfree to thwart the scoring threat. The Blue Devils attempted an onside kick to start the third quarter, but the Cardinal recovered at the Duke 43. Nunes capped a quick scoring drive by finding Terrell in the back of the end zone for a 19-yard touchdown pass. Cardinal free safety Ed Reynolds intercepted two passes and returned the first 71 yards for a touchdown. He now has three on the season, equaling last year’s team-high set by Michael Thomas.

STANFORD, Calif. - Josh Nunes threw a go-ahead 37-yard touchdown to Zach Ertz, Stepfan Taylor ran for 153 yards and scored two touchdowns and No. 21 Stanford upset second-ranked USC 21-14 for its fourth straight win in this series. Heisman Trophy hopeful Matt Barkley threw for 254 yards and two interceptions while completing only 20 of 41 passes. He was sacked twice on the final drive for the Trojans and threw out of bounds on a final, desperate heave on fourth-and-39 from USC’s 25-yard line. Coming out of a two-year bowl ban, USC had national title hopes this season. Now the Trojans will have to climb out of another hole to get there. A sold-out crowd at Stanford Stadium rushed the field, tossing streamers and jumping in a wild celebration at midfield with Cardinal coach David Shaw and players caught in the middle of the mess. Stanford was 3-0 for the third straight season for the first time since 1970-72 and had its longest winning streak ever against USC in a rivalry that dates back to 1905. Taylor took a short screen pass and scurried 23 yards for a tying touchdown late in the third quarter. Nunes scampered 12 yards on a third-and-10 from midfield in the fourth and then delivered the strike to Ertz, who juked a defender and dove into the end zone to give Stanford a 21-14 lead and send the home fans into a flurry. The last chance for USC never amounted to much. Marqise Lee caught an 18-yard pass on fourth-and-4 on the sideline that was originally ruled out of bounds. After a video replay, officials ruled Lee’s left foot landed in bounds and he controlled the ball. Mistakes finally doomed the Trojans. Nunes threw for 215 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions on 15-for-32 passing in the redshirt junior’s biggest game yet. In the end, all that really mattered to Luck’s replacement was the win. Stanford sacked Barkley four times and had him constantly losing his poise in the pocket. The Cardinal outgained the Trojans 417 to 280 total yards and held USC to only 26 yards rushing.

September 27, 2012 • Seattle, Wash.
SEATTLE, Wash. - Kasen Williams took a quick screen pass from Keith Price, broke a tackle and the line of scrimmage and raced 35 yards for the go-ahead score with 4:53 left, and Washington rallied from 10 points down to stun No. 8 Stanford, 17-13. Trailing 13-3 late in the third quarter, the Huskies got a 61-yard touchdown sprint from running back Bishop Sankey, their first offensive touchdown against an FBS opponent since the first quarter of the opener against San Diego State. Then Washington put together a nine-play drive that included another fourth-down conversion and was capped by Williams’ catch-and-run that gave the Huskies their first lead. Stanford was held without an offensive touchdown for the first time since a 23-6 loss at Oregon State on Oct. 27, 2007 - a span of 59 games. It also snapped a streak of 11 straight wins in the month of September. Josh Nunes completed just 18 of 37 passes for 170 yards with an interception. Stepfan Taylor ran for 138 yards against Washington last year and had 153 yards rushing in the upset of then-No. 2 USC on Sept. 15. He finished with 75 yards on 21 carries, none of them longer than 7 yards. Stanford’s only touchdown came on Trent Murphy’s athletic 40-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter that gave the Cardinal a 13-3 lead. Then came Washington’s scoring blitz, with Sankey slipping free on the final play of the third quarter for the longest run of his career. After Stanford went three-and-out for the seventh time in the game, the Huskies went on a 65-yard drive to take the lead.

Stanford 54, Arizona 48 (OT)
STANFORD, Calif. - Josh Nunes threw for a career-high 360 yards and two touchdowns and ran for three more scores, rallying No. 18 Stanford from a two-touchdown deficit to stun Arizona 54-48 in overtime. Chase Thomas intercepted a tipped pass by Matt Scott in the extra period and Stepfan Taylor ran for a 21-yard touchdown two plays later. Nunes completed 21 of 34 passes, scrambled for first downs and -- most importantly -- offset Scott’s record-setting performance. Scott completed 45 of 69 passes -- both school records -- for 491 yards and three touchdowns until Henry Anderson tipped his final pass in overtime that Thomas intercepted. Arizona amassed 617 total yards -- same as Stanford -- but lost for the third straight game and is still winless in conference play. Nunes ran his second short touchdown to trim Arizona’s lead to 48-41 with 6:34 remaining. The Cardinal held the held the Wildcats to three-and-out on the next possession and Nunes led a drive that will help ease concerns about Luck’s successor. The redshirt junior ran for 16 yards on third-and-7 from midfield, threw 17 yards to tight end Zach Ertz on fourth-and-9 from Arizona’s 20 and ran for the tying touchdown with 45 seconds left in regulation. Taylor, who finished with 142 yards rushing and two touchdowns, ran for 35 yards on seven carries before Nunes lofted an 11-yard touchdown pass to Ertz in the corner of the end zone to give the Cardinal a 7-0 lead on the game’s first possession. Stanford has won after its last seven losses. The last time the Cardinal dropped consecutive games came in 2009, when it lost to Oregon State on Oct. 10 and Arizona on Oct. 17.

October 6, 2012 • Stanford, Calif.
A Look Back at Arizona • Stanford recorded its fourth win at Stanford Stadium in as many games this season with a 54-48 overtime win over Arizona. The Cardinal improved to 4-3 all-time in overtime games, which began in college football in 1996. The extra-time victory was the first at Stanford Stadium since Oct. 12, 1996 (a 27-24 win over Oregon). • Stanford evened the all-series record with Arizona, 14-14. Saturday’s game marked the 28th meeting between the two programs. • With the 54-48 victory, Stanford earned its first overtime win since a 56-48 (3OT) thriller at USC in 2011. • The victory was the fifth straight win for Stanford in its Reunion Homecoming games at Stanford Stadium, dating back to a 24-23 win in 2008 (also against Arizona and also coming back from a fourth-quarter deficit). RB Toby Gerhart carried in a one-yard rushing touchdown with 25 seconds remaining in that game. • Stanford trailed by 14 points in the fourth quarter, 48-34, before scoring two touchdowns in the final seven minutes of regulation (6:34, 0:45) to knot the game at 48-48. Both scoring drives were led by senior QB Josh Nunes and finished with his rushing touchdowns.

• Stanford won the overtime coin toss and elected to possess the ball second. The Stanford defense turned the ball over with an interception by fifth-year senior OLB Chase Thomas, coming off a high-floating deflection by junior DE Henry Anderson. The Cardinal then obtained possession and handed the ball off twice to senior RB Stepfan Taylor, who ran four yards and then 21 yards into the end zone to claim victory. • Stanford rebounded with the win over Arizona after dropping a 17-13 decision the previous week at Washington. The Cardinal has bounced back with victories after each of its last seven defeats dating back to 2009. The last time Stanford lost back-to-back games came in 2009 (Oct. 10 vs. Oregon State; Oct. 17 vs. Arizona). • Stanford extended its home winning streak to six games and has won 17 of its last 18 contests at Stanford Stadium. • Five different Stanford players scored at least one touchdown in the victory over the Wildcats. Sophomore WR/RB Kelsey Young recorded his first career score on a 55-yard run, while Nunes scored his first, second and third career rushing touchdowns. • Nunes accounted for a career-high five touchdowns (two passing, three rushing) and threw for a career-high 360 yards with no interceptions. Nunes completed three passes in the game for more than 40 yards, including a new career-high 54-yard completion to senior WR JamalRashad Patterson.

Stanford 13, #7/7 Notre Dame 20 (OT)
NOTRE DAME, Ind. - A wall of Notre Dame defenders stopped Stepfan Taylor inches from the end zone on fourth down in overtime and the seventh-ranked Irish remained unbeaten with a 20-13 victory against No. 17 Stanford on a soggy Saturday in South Bend. Taylor went up the middle and was knocked back, but kept reaching and turning with bodies underneath him. His knee never did hit the ground before reaching the ball across the goal line. But the officials ruled it was too late. The whistle had blown, and that meant the play was stopped. The celebration had to wait for a replay review. TJ Jones made a reaching 7-yard touchdown catch from Tommy Rees on the first overtime possession to give the Fighting Irish a lead. Stanford responded by driving to a first-and-goal at the 4. Taylor ran for 1 on first, 2 on second and about a foot on third down. That left one play from inside the 1 and the Notre Dame defense, led by Carlos Calabrese, held up Taylor and moved him backward. Rees relieved Everett Golson late in the fourth quarter, but this was different from when he did it against Purdue in September and led the Irish to a winning field goal. Golson took a helmet to the head during Notre Dame’s game-tying field goal drive late in the fourth. In the overtime, Rees floated a 16-yard pass to Theo Riddick to convert a third-and-8 to the 7. On the next play, he threw behind Jones on a slant and the receiver reached back for a sliding two-handed catch and a 20-13 lead. Jordan Williamson’s 27-yard field goal with 6:12 put the Cardinal up 13-10, and the Fighting Irish drove into Cardinal territory when Golson absorbed the helmet hit from Usua Amanam that was flagged for 15 yards. The Irish settled for Kyle Brindza’s 22-yard field goal with 20 seconds left to tie it at 13-13. Golson alternated between scary and spectacular, completing 12 of 24 for 141 yards and a touchdown. He also lost two key fumbles -- one that Stanford’s Chase Thomas recovered in the end zone in the second quarter for a touchdown and the other in the third that gave the Cardinal the ball back after Golson had made a long run deep into Stanford territory. Thomas’ touchdown put Stanford up 7-3, the first time all season Notre Dame had trailed.

October 13, 2012 • Notre Dame, Ind.
A Look Back at Notre Dame • No. 17 Stanford suffered its second defeat of the season last Saturday during a non-conference matchup at Notre Dame. The Cardinal lost in overtime, 20-13. • For the second time in as many weeks, the outcome of Stanford’s contest was determined in overtime. The Cardinal won the overtime coin toss, electing to possess the ball second (as it also did one week prior in a home overtime win against Arizona). Stanford’s defense recorded a seven-yard sack by senior OLB Trent Murphy on the first play of overtime but yielded a thirddown conversion two plays later. On the next play, Notre Dame threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to take a 20-13 lead. • Senior RB Stepfan Taylor carried the ball the final five plays of overtime, including third-down and fourth-down rushes inside the one-yard line. The game’s final play ruled Taylor down short of the goalline, and subsequent review by replay officials did not overturn what was widely regarded as a controversial call. • Stanford leaned heavily on Taylor down the stretch, with either a rush or a reception on 11 of Stanford’s last 12 (and 13 of the last 15) offensive plays, spanning the final fourth-quarter offensive series and overtime. Taylor carried 28 times for 102 yards, his 17th career 100-yard rushing game and fourth of this season. Stanford is now 14-3 all-time when Taylor rushes for 100 or more yards in a game. • Stanford scored its lone touchdown on a fumble recovery by fifth-year senior OLB Chase Thomas in the end zone, following a sack and forced fumble by senior DE Ben Gardner. It was the first career touchdown for Thomas and Stanford’s third defensive touchdown this season. • Junior K Jordan Williamson added a pair of field goals, including a career-long 48-yarder on the final play of the first half. His previous career best was a 46-yard field goal - also kicked on the final play of the first half - in the season opener versus San Jose State. Williamson had one field goal blocked by Notre Dame from 25 yards in the second quarter. • Stanford led the game with scores of 7-3, 10-3 and 13-10. Notre Dame previously had not trailed this season and was the only team remaining in college football to not trail during a game. • The game was punctuated by defense and turnovers. The first offensive touchdown came in the fourth quarter, while the two teams combined for 10 three-and-outs. Stanford senior QB Josh Nunes was intercepted two times by Notre Dame, while the Cardinal turned the ball over from the Fighting Irish three times on fumbles. • The Cardinal defense recorded six tackles for loss and four sacks, led by senior OLB Trent Murphy (2.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks). Freshman CB Alex Carter notched his first career TFL in the first quarter, becoming the 17th Cardinal defender to record a TFL this season. Carter also forced a fumble in the third quarter, a career first. • Stanford reached its offensive nadir during the third quarter, totaling 19 total yards and no first downs. • Stanford was held without an offensive touchdown for the second time this season (Sept. 27 at Washington). Both games were road losses. • The defeat dropped Stanford to 9-18 all-time in the Notre Dame series and snapped a threegame winning streak against the Fighting Irish. The Cardinal for the seventh time (2-5) played at a top-10 Notre Dame team.

October 20, 2012 • Berkeley, Calif.
BERKELEY, Calif. - Stepfan Taylor ran for a career-high 189 yards and a touchdown, and Stanford overwhelmed California 21-3 for a third straight victory against its rival. Taylor (3,616) passed 2009 Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart (3,522) for second on Stanford’s career rushing list. Now only Darrin Nelson (4,033) has more. The Cardinal outgained the Bears 475 to 217 yards, outrushed them 252 to 3 yards and never lost its grip on the coveted Stanford Axe. Josh Nunes completed 16 of 31 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown for Stanford. Cal had not scored so few points in the Big Game since losing 10-3 in 1998. Zach Maynard was sacked four times, the Bears fumbled three times - losing two of them - and had another interception of Nunes wiped out by a penalty. Taylor shook two defenders at the line of scrimmage, cut outside and sliced back up the middle for a 7-yard touchdown run to give Stanford a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter. Taylor’s touchdown marked the Cardinal offense’s first on the road this season after losses at Notre Dame and Washington. Maynard completed 19 of 31 passes for 214 yards -- most with the game already decided. Keenan Allen, one of the nation’s best receivers, was held to four catches for 43 yards.

• No. 22/23 Stanford bounced back from an emotional loss at Notre Dame with a resounding 21-3 victory in the school’s oldest rivalry, the Big Game versus Cal. The Cardinal won its third straight and fourth in the last six editions of the Big Game to improve to 58-46-11 all-time in the series. • The three points allowed by Stanford’s defense was the lowest since the Sept. 3, 2011, season opener versus San Jose State (57-3) and the lowest in a Big Game since 1998 (10-3). • Stanford avoided losing consecutive games for the first time since Oct. 10-17, 2009. After each of the Cardinal’s last eight defeats spanning the past four years, it has come back the next game with a victory. • The Cardinal scored its first offensive touchdown on the road in 2012 with a seven-yard run by senior RB Stepfan Taylor in the first quarter. That snapped a span a road drought of 136:25 dating back to Tyler Gaffney’s rushing touchdown at Oregon State (Nov. 5, 2011).

• Taylor went on to rush for a career-high 189 yards on 28 carries, surpassing his previous mark of 177 in the 2012 Fiesta Bowl versus Oklahoma State. The senior running back moved past Toby Gerhart as Stanford’s second all-time career rusher (3,616) on a 16-yard carry in the third quarter. Taylor increased his season average to 120.9 yards/game and has five regular season games remaining with only 417 yards separating him from first-place Darrin Nelson. • Stronger as the game grew longer, Taylor carried the ball on 10 of Stanford’s final 18 plays to close out the game and amassed 67 yards rushing in the fourth quarter. • Senior TE Zach Ertz caught six passes for a career-high 134 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Ertz also in the second quarter hauled in a career-long 68-yard reception on a play without any Stanford wide receivers. The 6-foot-6 Ertz motioned from the fullback position before running free on a corner route. Ertz was not caught until rumbling 68 yards downfield to the Cal seven-yard line.

Stanford 24, Washington State 17
STANFORD, Calif. - Ed Reynolds returned an interception for a touchdown and No. 19 Stanford sacked Jeff Tuel a school-record 10 times in a 24-17 victory over Washington State. Reynolds stepped in front of Tuel’s pass for the safety’s fourth interception - and second returned for a score - this season early in the fourth quarter to bail out the Cardinal offense again. He ran 25 yards untouched into the end zone to give Stanford a two-touchdown lead, highlighting another swarming defensive effort that held the Cougars to minus-16 yards rushing and forced new coach Mike Leach’s aerial offense to throw 60 times. Josh Nunes completed 7 of 15 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown and Ryan Hewitt ran for a short score. A week after running for a career-high 189 yards against rival California, Stepfan Taylor was held to 58 yards on 21 carries. Washington State had 25 first downs to only 12 for Stanford, which converted 5-of-12 third downs and only put together one complete drive all game. Tuel, who completed 43 of 60 passes for 401 yards, led a 12-play, 75-yard drive capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kristoff Williams with 6:29 to play to bring Washington State within a touchdown. Stanford managed two first downs before punting the ball back and giving the Cougars another chance. Marquess Wilson made a leaping 42-yard catch to put Washington State at the Stanford 23. On fourth-and-21, Bobby Ratliff caught a 25-yard pass from Tuel at the 9. Usua Amanam pressured Tuel into a 15-yard intentional grounding penalty and an automatic 10-second runoff. With Washington State looking for one final heave to the end zone, Henry Anderson planted Tuel into the ground as time expired.

October 27, 2012 • Stanford, Calif.
A Look Back at Washington State • No. 19 Stanford remained unbeaten (5-0) at Stanford Stadium this year after defeating Washington State, 24-17. The win was the fifth straight for the Cardinal over the Cougars. • Stanford recorded a school-record 10 sacks, led by senior NB Usua Amanam (2.0) and senior OLB Trent Murphy (2.0). The Cardinal had 15 total tackles for loss from nine defenders. • In the final minute of the game, Washington State stood first-and-goal at the Stanford nine-yard line threatening to tie the game. Amanam answered with a 10-yard sack, followed on the game’s final play by an eight-yard sack (and the school record-breaker) by junior DE Henry Anderson. • The Cardinal defense held Washington State to minus-18 yards rushing, third-best all-time in Stanford history. The rushing tally at the end of the first quarter stood at minus-36 yards. • Washington State threw the ball with more success, totaling 403 yards on 43-of-61 passing and two touchdowns. It was the third time this season where an opponent passed at least 60 times for 350-plus yards, and Stanford is 3-0 in those games. • For the fourth time this season, Stanford scored on defense. Junior FS Ed Reynolds picked off Washington State QB Jeff Tuel in the fourth quarter and ran it back 25 yards for what would ultimately prove the winning score. It was Reynolds’ fourth interception this season and second pick-six.

• The Cardinal’s talented tight end tandem of seniors Zach Ertz and Levine Toilolo were held to a combined season-low one reception. It was the first game since the season opener versus San Jose State for a tight end to not lead Stanford in receiving. • Senior QB Josh Nunes and senior WR Jamal-Rashad Patterson connected in the second quarter on a 70-yard touchdown reception – a career-high for both. • Senior FB Ryan Hewitt dove from one yard out for a score in the third quarter, the first rushing touchdown of his career and sixth overall touchdown as a Cardinal. • Freshman WR Kodi Whitfield caught his first two career receptions, one on the second offensive play of the first quarter and one for a critical first down in the last offensive series of the fourth quarter. • Freshman OG Joshua Garnett made his first career start and became the first Stanford true freshman offensive lineman to start since Kirk Chambers in 2000. • Junior K Jordan Williamson hit a 42-yard field goal in the first quarter, his first conversion since the Notre Dame game. Williamson also excelled on kickoffs with three touchbacks. • The Cardinal defense employed for the first time this season a wholesale rotation, whereby all 11 players of the second-team defense took the field to start three different series in the game. The first such wave came in the game’s second defensive series, a three-and-out. • Stanford fifth-year senior P Daniel Zychlinski punted four times (54.2 average) against Arizona, all four of which spanned more than 50 yards. • Junior K Jordan Williamson hit six of his eight kickoffs for touchbacks in the game. For the first time in 2012, Stanford attempted no field goals.

November 3, 2012 • Boulder, Colo.
BOULDER, Colo. - Kevin Hogan replaced quarterback Josh Nunes and ignited the 15th-ranked Cardinal to a 48-0 rout of Colorado, the Buffaloes’ first shutout at home in 26 years. Hogan picked apart the Buffaloes, throwing for 184 yards and running for 48 more in just two quarters of work. The Buffaloes were powerless to respond, gaining 76 yards of offense behind a trio of overwhelmed quarterbacks who led an offense that managed just two snaps on Stanford’s side of the field - and was promptly pushed right back with a 24-yard sack. The Cardinal (7-2, 5-1 Pac-12) handed the Buffs (1-8, 1-5) their first shutout at Folsom Field since a 28-0 loss to Oklahoma on Nov. 15, 1986, snapping a streak of 150 straight games in which the Buffs had scored at home. Hogan completed 18 of 23 passes with two touchdowns, no interceptions and two sacks before giving way to Brett Nottingham in the fourth quarter with the Cardinal comfortably ahead 45-0. Hogan led Stanford - which had lost won in Boulder in 1904 - to touchdowns on his first four drives, putting the Buffaloes in a 35-0 halftime hole, then added two more scoring drives in the third quarter. Stepfan Taylor added a pair of rushing touchdowns for the Cardinal. Taylor added a 2-yard TD run with 8 seconds left in the half after Jamal-Rashad Patterson came down with Hogan’s 20-yard pass on third-and-14.

• No. 15 Stanford produced its most complete game of the season with a 48-0 win at Colorado. It was the first home shutout for the Buffaloes since Nov. 15, 1986 – a span of 150 games. • The 48-0 win was the largest shutout margin of victory for Stanford since the 58-0 blanking of Washington State in 2008. It was the greatest shutout margin of victory on the road since a 57-0 win at UCLA in 1929. • The victory in Boulder was the first for Stanford since the 1904, the inaugural in the series. Stanford improved its record against Colorado to 5-3 and has now won four straight. • The Cardinal defense held Colorado to minus-21 yards rushing - third-best all-time in Stanford history - to eclipse the mark of minus-18 yards rushing set one week earlier in a home win over Washington State.

• Colorado crossed midfield on offense for only two plays in the game, both coming on its final series in the fourth quarter. The plays netted minus-22 yards and led to the Buffaloes’ ninth punt of the day. • For the fifth time this season, Stanford scored on defense. Junior FS Ed Reynolds picked off Colorado QB Jordan Webb in the first quarter and ran it back 52 yards to start the Cardinal’s scoring. It was Reynolds’ fifth interception this season and a school-record third pick-six. • As part of a planned quarterback rotation, senior Josh Nunes led the offense for its first two series before sophomore Kevin Hogan entered the game on the final play of the first quarter. Hogan led Stanford to six straight scores, including five touchdowns and one field goal. In a breakout performance, Hogan completed 18 of 23 passing for 184 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. • Hogan also ran for a game-high 48 yards, including a pair of 20-plus yard rushes for the first time by any Stanford ballcarrier in a game this season. • Stanford forced three turnovers and committed none, raising its season turnover margin to a conference-best +11. • Senior RB Stepfan Taylor carried just 10 times and did not play past halftime, rushing for 43 yards and two touchdowns. • Sophomore RB Remound Wright scored his first career touchdown in the second quarter on a one-yard carry. • Senior TE Zach Ertz (6-41) and senior TE Levine Toilolo (3-59) combined for 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns.

STANFORD, Calif. - Kevin Hogan threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns in his first collegiate start, and No. 16 Stanford overcame four turnovers to rally past No. 13 Oregon State, 27-23. Oregon State quarterback Cody Vaz fumbled late in the fourth quarter to give the Cardinal (8-2, 6-1) the ball at the Beavers 29. The only Oregon State (7-2, 5-2) turnover turned out to be the difference. Hogan hit tight end Zach Ertz for a 13-yard touchdown to make it 27-23 with 5:07 left and Stanford stopped the Beavers twice more. Stepfan Taylor ran for 114 yards and a touchdown, eclipsing 1,000 yards rushing for the third straight season. Oregon State won the turnover margin, 4-1, but only converted three points out of them -- and the one mistake cost the Beavers badly. Vaz fumbled while shifting the ball during a scramble and Josh Mauro recovered. After Ertz caught the go-ahead touchdown, Oregon State got the ball back and Alex Debniak sacked Vaz on third down. Sean Mannion -- the former starter -- threw incomplete on fourth-and-16 from the Oregon State 37 with 1:52 left. Hogan, who took over the starting role from Josh Nunes, completed 22 of 29 passes with two interceptions. He also ran for 49 yards on 11 carries.

A Look Back at Oregon State • No. 16 Stanford came from nine points down to defeat No. 13 Oregon State, 27-23, pushing the Cardinal ahead of the Beavers into sole possession of second place in the Pac-12 North standings. The victory marked the second for Stanford over a top-20 team this season at home, a feat not accomplished since 1991. • Sophomore QB Kevin Hogan made his first career start, throwing for 254 yards and three touchdowns on 22 of 29 passing with two interceptions. Hogan also rushed for 49 yards and three first downs, giving the Beavers fits with his mobility. • Senior RB Stepfan Taylor eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing for the third consecutive season, the first player to do so in school history. Taylor rushed for 114 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries in the game, his 19th career 100-yard outing. • Taylor totaled 161 offensive yards against the Beavers, including a highlight third-quarter 40yard touchdown reception for the ages. Taylor caught a dump-off pass from Hogan, who was falling to the ground, on the 43-yard line. Taylor then raced past three defenders before cutting back and giving a stiff-arm to knock down a fourth defender. Taylor ran into the end zone while two Beavers dove at him.

• Stanford’s defense stiffened in the fourth quarter, holding Oregon State scoreless and without a third-down conversion on its last four possessions. On the day, Stanford’s defense limited the Beavers to 86 yards rushing, the fourth straight game and sixth overall this season it has held an opponent to under 100 yards rushing. • The Cardinal’s comeback was capped by a 13-yard touchdown from Hogan to senior TE Zach Ertz with 5:07 remaining in the fourth quarter. • The game-winning drive for Stanford started on Oregon State’s 29-yard line, the only series which began on the Beavers’ side of the field. Oregon State QB Cody Vaz fumbled the ball while scrambling, and Stanford senior DE Josh Mauro dove on it for the recovery. • Stanford turned the ball over four times, including a pair of Hogan interceptions and one fumble apiece by Taylor and Ertz. Balanced against one Oregon State turnover, Stanford had a negative turnover margin for just the second time this season (Stanford lost the previous such game at Washington). Stanford came into the Oregon State game with the nation’s seventh-best Pac-12’s No. 1 - turnover margin. It was the first win for a Cardinal team that committed four turnovers in a game since a 42-17 win over San Jose State in 2009. • Senior FB Ryan Hewitt caught a 13-yard touchdown from Hogan, his first on the season. Hewitt pulled in season-highs of four receptions for 52 yards – both tops for him since 114th Big Game (Nov. 19, 2011). • Senior DT Terrence Stephens delivered the best performance of his career, also likely his most emotional coming on Senior Day. Stephens notched career-bests of five tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack, along with a forced fumble. The solo sack was the first of Stephens’ career. • Stanford’s senior class wrapped its second perfect regular season at Stanford Stadium and a four-year career record of 24-2 at home. Its only home losses came in 2009 vs. California and 2011 vs. Oregon.

Stanford 17, #1/1 Oregon 14 (OT)
EUGENE, Ore. - Jordan Williamson hit a 37-yard field goal in overtime and No. 14 Stanford upset No. 1 Oregon 17-14, denying the Ducks a chance to clinch the Pac-12 North and derailing their straight shot at the BCS championship game. The loss snapped a 13-game winning streak for the Ducks, which was longest current streak in the nation. It was Stanford’s fifth straight win. Oregon was the only Pac-12 team that Stanford hadn’t defeated over the past two seasons. But Cardinal’s tough defense smothered the highest scoring team in the nation. Alejandro Maldanado missed a 41-yard field goal for the Ducks to open overtime. Kevin Hogan threw for 211 yards and a game-tying fourth-quarter touchdown for Stanford, while Stepfan Taylor rushed for 161 yards on 33 carries. The Cardinal had the nation’s best run defense going into the game, allowing an average of just 54.8 yards a game. Oregon meanwhile, had the country’s third-best rushing offense, averaging 325 yards a game. Stanford held Ducks running back Kenjon Barner, who was averaging 136 yards rushing a game, to just 66 yards. Overall, the Ducks managed only 198 yards on the ground. Stanford scored first on Hogan’s 1-yard plow into the end zone early in the second quarter. Oregon extended its lead to 14-7 on De-Anthony Thomas’ six-yard scoring run in the third quarter, but missed a chance when Maldonado’s 42-yard field goal attempt went wide right. Williamson missed a 43-yard field goal attempt for Stanford early in the fourth quarter.

November 17, 2012 • Eugene, Ore.
A Look Back at Oregon • No. 14 Stanford rallied in the fourth quarter to tie No. 1 Oregon, 14-14, before junior K Jordan Williamson won the game with a 37-yard field goal in overtime. It was the Cardinal’s second win in school history (2-6-1 all-time) against the Associated Press’ top-ranked team. • Coupled with its win over USC (Sept. 15), Stanford has defeated the AP’s No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the same season for the first time in school history. No other team in the FBS has played both the AP’s No. 1 and No. 2 team this season. • After suffering its only conference defeat each of the last two years at the hands of Oregon, Stanford dealt the Ducks its first Pac-12 loss of 2012. In 2009, the Cardinal also handed Oregon its only conference loss on the season. The highest stakes game played in the Pac-12, the loser of the Stanford-Oregon matchup has been dealt its first or only conference defeat on the season in each of the last four seasons. • Stanford’s defense held the nation’s top-scoring offense (54.80 points/game) to 14 points. Entering the contest, the Ducks had scored 42-plus points in 13 consecutive games and 30-plus points in an NCAA-record 23 straight games. The Cardinal held Oregon scoreless in the first quarter for the first time since Nov. 19, 2011.

• The Cardinal defense closed the game on a strong note, holding the Ducks scoreless in their final six possessions. In that span, the Cardinal forced three three-and-outs and allowed four first downs. Oregon gained one yard on three plays in overtime. • Stanford stopped Oregon on both of its fourth-down attempts in the first half and limited the Ducks to four of 17 third-down conversions in the game. After a 77-yard run by Oregon QB Marcus Mariota in the first quarter, the defense held on 4th-and-2 at the Stanford seven-yard line when senior ILB Shayne Skov stopped Mariota at the line of scrimmage. • Senior TE Zach Ertz caught a career-high 11 passes for 106 yards, including the game-tying touchdown for Stanford in the fourth quarter with 95 seconds remaining in regulation. Ertz hauled in four receptions for 53 yards on the 78-yard scoring drive. Ertz’s 10-yard touchdown reception in the back of the end zone was initially called incomplete before an officials’ review overturned the ruling. Ertz was honored as the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week for his performance.

• Senior RB Stepfan Taylor rushed a season-high 33 times (eighth-most in school history) for 161 yards, the third-highest rushing total in his career. Taylor recorded six runs of 10-plus yards. It was Taylor’s 20th career 100-yard rushing game, tying him with Toby Gerhart for the school record. Stanford is 17-3 when Taylor reaches the century mark rushing. • Sophomore QB Kevin Hogan made his first career road start in hostile Autzen Stadium, answering the bell with 25 of 36 passing for 211 yards and one touchdown against one interception. The rookie quarterback rushed for 37 yards, a pair of first downs and his first career touchdown – a one-yard dive in the second quarter. • For the second straight game, Stanford recorded a negative turnover margin. In addition to a Hogan interception, the Cardinal lost two fumbles – one by Taylor and one by sophomore WR/ RB Kelsey Young. The Stanford defense bailed out the offense by holding Oregon scoreless on its possessions following each of the three turnovers.

PASADENA, Calif. - Stepfan Taylor rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns, Kevin Hogan passed for 160 yards and another score, and the 11th-ranked Cardinal beat No. 15 UCLA, 35-17, to earn the Pac-12 North title and a rematch with the Bruins in the conference championship game next week. The Cardinal had to win to qualify for another shot at the Bruins because No. 5 Oregon beat No. 16 Oregon State, 48-24, in a matchup that finished about 10 minutes before Stanford and UCLA began their game at the Rose Bowl Game. The win was the sixth straight for Stanford and their fourth in a row over UCLA, which had a fivegame winning streak snapped - its longest in seven years. Taylor carried 20 times and didn’t play in the fourth quarter. Hogan completed 15 of 22 passes without being intercepted and was sacked twice. He has guided the Cardinal to wins over three straight ranked opponents, something they had never accomplished before. UCLA was held to 334 yards of total offense while Stanford gained 381 yards overall. Leading 21-10, the Cardinal broke the game open by scoring twice in a 13-second span midway through the third quarter. Taylor scored on a 1-yard run four plays after Jordan Richards intercepted Hundley’s pass at the UCLA 42-yard line, and Alex Debniak forced a fumble by Kenneth Walker on the ensuing kickoff and Usua Amanam returned it 11 yards for another TD. Stanford took a 7-0 lead by moving 75 yards on 12 plays after receiving the opening kickoff, scoring on an 11-yard pass from Hogan to Drew Terrell. Stanford moved 88 yards on 10 plays for a 14-7 lead, scoring on a 10-yard run by Anthony Wilkerson, and the Cardinal scored again less than two minutes later on a 49-yard run by Taylor.

A Look Back at UCLA • No. 11 Stanford dispatched No. 15 UCLA at the Rose Bowl Game last Saturday, 35-17, to clinch the Pac-12 North Division title and claim the right to play host the 2012 Pac-12 Football Championship Game. • The Cardinal scored two touchdowns in the span of 13 seconds in the third quarter to build a 35-10 lead and put the Bruins away. Senior RB Stepfan Taylor ran in a one-yard touchdown before fifth-year senior OLB Alex Debniak hit the UCLA kickoff returner on the next play, forcing a fumble that senior NB Usua Amanam recovered and ran back 11 yards into the end zone. • Taylor rushed for 142 yards and two touchdowns on just 20 carries, racing to a 49-yard touchdown in the second quarter and later 40 yards to set up his one-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Taylor rested the last quarter and a half of play. • Taylor set a school record with his 21st 100-yard game. The Cardinal is 18-3 when Taylor reaches the century mark in rushing yards. • Taylor’s 19-yard scamper on the first series of the game broke the 4,000-yard mark for his career. Taylor passed 3,000 yards earlier this season vs. USC.

STANFORD, Calif. - Kevin Hogan threw for 155 yards and a touchdown and ran for 47 yards and another score, helping eighth-ranked Stanford beat No. 17 UCLA 27-24 in the Pac-12 championship game. The redshirt freshman won game MVP honors while leading the Cardinal to the Rose Bowl Game for the first time in more than a decade. Hogan’s biggest highlight came in the biggest moment of the game. As a defender barreled into him, Hogan hurled a 26-yard tying touchdown pass to Drew Terrell on third-and-15 early in the fourth quarter. Jordan Williamson kicked his second field goal from 36 yards with 6:49 remaining for the go-ahead score, lifting Stanford to its first conference title since the 1999 season. UCLA’s Brett Hundley threw for 177 yards and a costly interception that set up a Stanford touchdown. He still almost brought the Bruins (9-4) back, but Ka’imi Fairbairn missed a 52-yard field goal wide left in the closing moments of the disappointing loss. Hogan completed 16 of 22 passes for a fourth win over a ranked opponent in his fourth straight start since unseating Josh Nunes at quarterback. Scattered showers made the grass a bit slick, though the surface never seemed to slow down the Bruins, who ran for 284 yards with Johnathan Franklin (194 yards) leading the way. It was the most yards rushing allowed this season by Stanford, which yielded 198 in an overtime victory at Oregon earlier in the season. Stepfan Taylor finished with 78 yards rushing to eclipse Darrin Nelson’s school record of 4,169. Taylor, an outgoing senior, has 4,212 for his career.

• Ed Reynolds notched his conference-high-tying sixth interception (tied for fifth in the FBS) in the second-quarter. Reynolds returned the pick 80 yards, bumping his NCAA-leading interception return yard total to 301. Reynolds is one yard short of the NCAA record for interception return yards in a season (trails Charles Phillips of USC, who had 302 yards in 1974). • With a 10-yard rush in the closing moments of the second quarter, senior RB Stepfan Taylor became Stanford’s all-time career rusher by bringing his four-year total to 4,175 yards. Taylor broke Darrin Nelson’s record which stood since 1981. • Stanford has scored four times on its opening drive this season, with two of those coming in a pair of contests against UCLA. • Stanford’s opening drive of the first quarter spanned 11 plays, its 15th scoring drive of 10 or more plays on the season. • Entering the contest, Stanford had allowed only two rushing plays for over 40 yards (77 at Oregon, 61 at Washington). UCLA collected two rushes over 40 yards in the first quarter (51 yards and 48 yards).
UCLA
• Stanford allowed only 20 points (two touchdowns, two FG) in the first quarter through the first 12 games on the season. One of those two touchdowns was recorded last week by UCLA, as the Bruins posted 14 points tonight against the Cardinal. • Reynolds’ interception marked the 23rd straight game Stanford’s defense has record a takeaway, tied for the third longest streak in FBS.

Approximately 8,500 people crowded into Tournament Park on the California Institute of Technology campus to witness the first Rose Bowl Game. The best in the West versus the best in the East had been brought together by tournament officials to attract more national attention to their pageant. What spectators got was a flat-out massacre by the “point-a-minute” Michigan Wolverines, who had outscored opponents 501-0 during the regular season. Coached by Fielding H. Yost, an assistant at Stanford the year before, Michigan outplayed Stanford in every aspect of the game. For the Wolverines, fullback Neil Snow rushed for five touchdowns and Ev Sweeley punted for almost 900 yards and kicked four field goals. In a violent game, Stanford guard William Roosevelt, a second cousin of President Teddy Roosevelt, played an astonishing 15 minutes with a broken leg before having to leave the game with fractured ribs in addition to the leg injury. The game ended with eight minutes remaining on the clock after the two team captains agreed to finally halt the Michigan onslaught. Following the game, the Rose Bowl Game was discontinued until the first day of 1916, when Washington State defeated Brown, 14-3.

One of the most classic Rose Bowl Game matchups occurred in 1925 when Stanford coach Pop Warner and star player Ernie Nevers went up against Knute Rockne and “The Four Horsemen” of Notre Dame. When it was over, the Fighting Irish had a 27-10 victory, a 10-0 season and a national championship, while the Cardinals finished 7-1-1. Turnovers proved to be Stanford’s undoing in the game as three Irish touchdowns were scored on Stanford giveaways. Nevers, Stanford’s All-American two-way star, turned in one of the greatest performances in the school’s history. Not only did he play all 60 minutes in the game, but he rushed for 114 yards, more yardage than all the Four Horsemen combined, despite having his ankles bandaged so tightly that the circulation was almost completely shut off. Both ankle bones had been broken earlier in the season and the casts had been taken off just 10 days before the Rose Bowl Game. Nevers could barely walk. Elmer Layden was the star Horseman on this day by scoring three touchdowns for Notre Dame, two on interception returns. His 76-yard return in the second quarter moved the Irish to a 13-3 lead, and his 70-yard touchdown return in the fourth quarter provided Notre Dame with its final score. Murray Cuddeback kicked a 17-yard field goal in the first quarter to give Stanford an early 3-0 lead. Notre Dame then scored 20 unanswered points before the Cardinals managed to score and cut the lead to 20-10.

In a game that pitted two unbeaten teams, Stanford and Alabama played to a 7-7 tie in a game that set a Rose Bowl Game attendance record of 57,417. Pop Warner’s Stanford team entered the game with a 10-0 record while the Crimson Tide brought a 9-0 record to Pasadena. The Tide averted its first loss of the season by scoring the tying touchdown in the last minute of the game. Stanford’s only score came in the first quarter when quarterback George Bogue connected with Ed Walker for a 20-yard touchdown. With Stanford nursing a 7-0 lead late in the fourth quarter, Alabama’s Clark Pearce blocked a Stanford punt on the 47-yard line, which was ultimately recovered on the Indians’ 14-yard line. Five plays later, Alabama scored a touchdown and kicked the extra point to preserve its unbeaten season. Stanford outgained the Tide, 311-92 in total offense.

Stanford’s Frankie Wilton recovered the fumble and streaked into the end zone for the tying score. Hoffman added the extra point to give Stanford its first Rose Bowl Game victory.

The “Vow Boys” made their first of three straight Rose Bowl Game appearances but were shut out by the Columbia Lions, 7-0. Columbia scored the game’s only touchdown in the second quarter on a skillfully executed hidden ball trick which worked to perfection. The play, known as “KF-79”, began on Stanford’s 17-yard line. Columbia quarterback Cliff Montgomery handed the ball off to halfback Al Barabas, who hid the ball on his hit and waited patiently. When the entire Stanford team had been either faked or blocked, Barabas ran virtually untouched into the enzone for the game’s only score. The fact the game was even played was remarkable. The Pasadena Fire Department had to pump 12 inches of water off the field after heavy rains pounded Southern California in the days leading up to the game.
Alabama’s passing game led by quarterback Dixie Howell and wide receiver Don Hutson proved too much for Stanford, as the Crimson Tide handed the Indians their second straight Rose Bowl Game defeat, 29-13. Howell completed nine of 12 passes for 160 yards while Hutson caught six passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns as the Tide completed an undefeated season. Stanford took an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter, as Bobby Grayson carried over from a yard out for a touchdown which was set up by a Tide turnover. However, Alabama scored 22 consecutive points in the final 13 minutes of the first half to take a 22-7 lead into the locker room at intermission. Stanford cut the lead to 22-13 in the third quarter, but the Howell-Hutson combination struck again in the fourth quarter, connecting on a 59-yard touchdown pass on a third-and-23 play from its own 41-yard line.
fans astonished and opponents flat-footed. The Indians bowled over all nine of its regular season opponents and came into the Rose Bowl Game with a perfect 9-0 record. The Cornhuskers (8-1) were ranked seventh in the nation and had lost just once all season to top-ranked Minnesota. But, the game belonged to Shaughnessy and the “Wow Boys.” The “T” Formation featured a completely new offensive set with the quarterback taking the snap from right behind the center. It is this game that is generally considered the clincher that convinced football pundits that the “T” was the offense of the future. Of course, Shaughnessy’s new offense was not without its stars. In quarterback Frankie Albert, halfbacks Pete Kmetovic and Hugh Gallarneau and fullback Norm Standlee, the Indians had the right tools to run the “T.” Shaughnessy would later call this backfield one of the greatest of all-time in American football history.

The third time proved to be the charm for the “Vow Boys” who went to Pasadena with another vow: to win the Rose Bowl Game. Stanford quarterback Bill Paulman scored the game’s only touchdown on a one-yard bootleg play in the first quarter. SMU made its only serious scoring threat in the second quarter when it drove down to the Stanford five-yard line. Stanford’s Wes Muller then forced and recovered a fumble inside the fiveyard line, ending the threat. The game was a defensive battle throughout. Stanford’s Bobby Grayson gained just 28 yards in 17 attempts while Bones Hamilton netted 23 yards on 15 carries.
In the first nationwide telecast of the Rose Bowl Game, Illinois pounded Stanford, 40-7. The Indians held an early 7-6 lead in the first quarter, only to see the Illini score 34 unanswered points to secure the sixth straight victory for the Big Ten in the New Year’s Day game. Stanford, which had won nine consecutive games during the regular season, finished the year ranked seventh in the nation in the final wire service polls.

Heisman Trophy winner Jim Plunkett completed 20 of 30 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown, while the Stanford defense, led by tackle Dave Tipton and linebacker Jeff Siemon, limited the Buckeyes to just three points in the second half as the Indians erased a 14-10 halftime deficit.

Under the direction of first-year head coach Bill Walsh, Stanford ended the season with a 9-3 record and a No. 15 ranking in both wire service polls. The game was billed as an offensive showdown with the passing of Stanford quarterback Guy Benjamin and the running of LSU All-American Charles Alexander. Benjamin completed 23 of 36 passes for a Sun Bowl-record 269 yards while Alexander finished the game with 197 yards on the ground, also a record. But the game was decided by Stanford’s defense, which shutout the Tigers in the second half.

There were two different games played on this day in Jacksonville, Florida. The first belonged to Clemson in the first half and the second belonged to the Cardinal in the final half. The difference, however, was that Clemson won the first half 27-0 and Stanford won the second half 21-0 – giving the Tigers a 27-21 victory in the Cardinal’s first post-season bowl appearance since the 1978 Bluebonnet Bowl. Clemson gained 291 yards and had 15 first downs in the first half while the Cardinal gained just 57 yards and recorded three first downs. The Tigers’ 27-0 first half lead was largely due to the running of Terrence Flagler and Kenny Flowers and the passing of quarterback Rod Williams, who completed 8-of-11 for 101 yards. Stanford’s starting quarterback – John Paye – could not play due to injury and seldom-used backup Greg Ennis was called to action. Ennis completed 20-of-40 for 168 yards for the game, but was just 6-of-13 for 18 yards in the first half. Brad Muster, the 1986 Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year, earned co-MVP honors with Clemson’s Williams after rushing for 70 yards on 17 carries and catching four passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns.

Stanford’s “Now Boys” entered the Aloha Bowl with a seven-game winning streak - the program’s longest since 1951 - as the Cardinal was making its first bowl appearance since 1986. The Cardinal jumped out to first-half leads of 7-0 and 17-10, but Georgia Tech scored a touchdown and two-point conversion in the last 14 seconds of the game to secure an 18-17 victory. Stanford led 17-10 with 1:41 remaining in the game when its drive stalled on the Georgia Tech 45.

Stanford was picked to finish last in the Pac-10 by many of the preseason prognosticators but the Cardinal under first-year head coach Tyrone Willingham had different ideas. Stanford found itself unbeaten after its first five games, with only a tie against Wisconsin blemishing an otherwise perfect ledger. The Cardinal picked up three more wins late in the season against Oregon State, Washington State and Cal to finish the regular season with a 7-3-1 mark and gain an invitation to the St. Jude Liberty Bowl, where it would face East Carolina. Stanford could not get on track offensively and managed just 11 first downs and 211 yards in total offense in a 19-13 loss to the Pirates. The Cardinal faced a third-and-one from the Pirate 20 with less than a minute left to play, but Mark Butterfield’s last two passes fell incomplete and ECU took over on downs with 11 seconds left in the game.

The culmination of one of the greatest football seasons in Stanford history came on a warm and cloudy day in Miami. The Cardinal, Pac-10 Co-Champions for the first time since 1971 and playing in its first New Year’s Day Bowl Game since the 1972 Rose Bowl Game, beat traditional power Penn State, 24-3, in the Blockbuster Bowl in a game that clearly showed why Stanford was a top 10 team. Stanford used a familiar formula: a dominating defense and an effective offense. After Stanford took a 14-3 lead into the locker room at halftime, Penn State could muster just 29 rushing yards, 53 via the pass and only 82 total yards the entire second half. Senior cornerback Darrien Gordon was named the game’s Most Outstanding Player after holding Penn State All-American wide receiver O.J. McDuffie intact. Gordon recorded seven tackles and was credited with six pass breakups. Steve Stenstrom completed 17 of 28 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns while fullback Ellery Roberts added 98 yards on the ground.

In the most lopsided bowl game victory in school history, Stanford completely took apart Michigan State en route to a 38-0 Sun Bowl win, the first shutout by a Cardinal team since 1974. Stanford advanced to the 18th bowl game in school history and the second straight under Tyrone Willingham. The Cardinal’s win gave Stanford a 7-5 final record and five consecutive wins to end the season. The game was as one-sided as the score indicated. Stanford scored touchdowns on offense,
defense and special teams, led 21-0 at the half and never allowed the Spartans to mount any semblance of a comeback in the second half. Chad Hutchinson was named the game’s offensive MVP after completing 22 of 28 passes for 226 yards and one touchdown. Anthony Bookman ran wild in El Paso, finishing the contest with 103 yards on 11 carries.

Stanford found itself back in Pasadena for the first time since 1972 after finishing the regular season with an 8-4 overall mark, including a sparkling 7-1 Pac-10 Conference record. Stanford was a heavy underdog to Big Ten champion Wisconsin, but gave the fourth-ranked Badgers all they could handle in a 17-9 defeat. Stanford’s effort was even more impressive considering the Cardinal suffered crucial injuries to key players—notably wide receiver Troy Walters and defensive end Willie Howard—days and weeks leading up to the game. Howard suffered a severe knee injury in the last regular season game against Notre Dame. Walters, the Pac-10’s most prolific receiver, suffered a dislocated right wrist just three days before the game and was ruled out of the contest 48 hours prior to kickoff. However, Walters played in the game with a heavily wrapped wrist and caught three passes for 52 yards and Howard defied the odds and made a start at defensive end and recorded five tackles. Stanford, which had yielded an average of 452.8 yards per game in the regular season, limited the Badgers to just 331 yards in total offense. However, 200 of those yards came on the efforts of Heisman Trophy-winner Ron Dayne. Todd Husak finished the game with 258 passing yards, but Stanford was held to minus-five yards in rushing offense.

Coming off one of the best regular season performances in the 106-year history of the program, Stanford rode into postseason play with momentum, boasting a spectacular 9-2 record. The nine victories marked the first time since 1992 that the Cardinal accomplished this feat, and was only the second time in 50 years that the program had attained this mark. The 11th-ranked Cardinal aimed for its 10th victory in the Pacific Northwest against Georgia Tech (8-5) in the inaugural Seattle Bowl, the 20th bowl game in school history. Despite a fourth-quarter surge that pulled the Cardinal within a field goal with 11:39 left in the contest, unranked Georgia Tech surprised Stanford 24-14 before a crowd of 30,144 at Safeco Field, home of the Seattle Mariners. Stanford finished the year with a 9-3 record and was ranked 16th in the nation by the Associated Press.

Playing in its first bowl game since 2001, Stanford fell to Oklahoma, 31-27 in the Brut Sun Bowl before a sellout crowd of 53,713 in Sun Bowl Stadium. Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones completed 30 of 51 passes for 418 yards and three touchdowns to earn game MVP honors. The 418 yards was a season high by a Stanford opponent and tied for the ninth-highest passing total ever by a Stanford opponent. The 19th-ranked Cardinal was without the services of quarterback Andrew Luck, who was sidelined with a broken right index finger suffered in the fourth quarter of the Notre Dame game a month earlier. Senior Tavita Pritchard made his first start of the season and completed 8 of 19 passes for 117 yards with two interceptions.

brilliant senior season with a school-record 1,871 yards and 28 rushing touchdowns. Stanford enjoyed a 21-17 lead at halftime on touchdown runs by Owen Marecic and Gerhart, along with a 35-yard field goal by Nate Whitaker. However, the Cardinal managed just 79 yards in total offense and four first downs in the second half against the nation’s seventh-best defense as the Sooners scored twice in the third quarter to take a 31-24 lead. Jones connected with Ryan Broyles for a sixyard game-tying touchdown pass at the 13:06 mark of the third quarter to cap a nine play, 80 yard drive. A one-yard TD run by DeMarco Murray at the 2:59 mark of the period gave the Sooners a 31-24 lead. Stanford cut the lead to 31-27 at the 12:43 mark of the fourth quarter, as Whitaker connected on a 21-yard field goal. Following a missed field goal, Stanford regained possession at its own 15-yard line with 3:21 left in the game, but saw its season come to an end after going four and out. “We’re really disappointed,” said senior safety Bo McNally following the game, “especially since our offense put up enough points. You should win a game with 27 points.” “Our guys fought as hard as they could,” said head coach Jim Harbaugh. “They’ve been to the top of the mountain now and seen what’s on the other side. This is where we want to be.”
After Virginia Tech took a 13-9 lead, Luck connected with tight end Zach Ertz for a 25-yard touchdown pass that capped an eight-play, 79-yard scoring drive. A field goal by Virginia Tech’s Chris Hazley just before halftime cut Stanford’s lead to 13-12 at the break. The second half belonged to the Cardinal, as Stanford scored on its first four possessions on its way to its eighth consecutive victory. Owen Marecic opened the second half scoring spree with a one-yard run at the 8:47 mark of the third quarter to give Stanford a 19-12 lead. Luck then hit Fleener for touchdowns of 41, 58 and 38 yards, securing Stanford’s first bowl victory since 1996. Stanford’s defense, behind a 12-tackle effort from linebacker Shayne Skov, limited a strong Hokies running game to just 66 yards. It was the final game for Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh, who compiled a 29-21 in four seasons at the helm of the Cardinal program. With the win, Stanford became the first FBS team to win 12 games four years after losing 11 contests.

After completing 9 of 13 passes in the first half, Luck was nearly perfect following intermission, completing 9 of 10 attempts for 201 yards and three touchdowns – all to Fleener. Stanford led just 13-12 at halftime, as the Hokies thwarted a fake punt and blocked an extra point try. Running back Jeremy Stewart, who had been hampered all year with injuries, broke loose for a 60-yard touchdown run at the 6:16 mark of the first quarter to give the Cardinal a 7-0 lead.

Quarterbacks Andrew Luck and Brandon Weeden each threw for over 300 yards while Stanford running back Stepfan Taylor ran for a career -high 177 yards on 35 carries. Two-time Biletnikoff Award winner Justin Blackman caught eight passes for 186 yards, including touchdowns of 43, 67 and 17 yards. Luck was especially brilliant in his final game in a Stanford uniform, completing 27 of 31 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns, including a 53yard bomb to Ty Montgomery that accounted for the game’s first touchdown. Stanford compiled 590 yards in total offense, compared to 412 for Oklahoma State,and held the Cowboys to just 13 yards rushing. The Cardinal never trailed in the game until Sharp made the game-winning field goal that left Stanford crestfallen. The two teams combined for 24 points in a wild fourth quarter. Taylor’s one-yard touchdown run with 4:34 left capped a 13-play, 69-yard scoring drive that gave the Cardinal a short-lived 38-31 lead. Weeden and the Cowboys marched 67-yards in nine plays and tied the game when Joseph Randall carried over from four yards out with 2:35 left. Luck then drove the Cardinal down to the Cowboys 23-yard line, setting up a potential gamewinning field goal with :03 remaining. However, Williamson’s attempt missed badly, sending the game into overtime. Stanford had the first crack in overtime, but Williamson misfired on a 43-yard attempt. On Oklahoma State’s second play of overtime, Weeden threw a 24-yard pass to Colton Chef that was originally ruled a touchdown, however, following a replay review, the ball was placed on the one-yard line.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY
One of the World’s Leading Universities
Stanford at a Glance
For the Stanfords on that day, the university was the realization of a dream and a fitting tribute to the memory of their only son, who had died of typhoid fever weeks before his sixteenth birthday. Far from the nation’s center of culture and unencumbered by tradition or ivy, the new university drew students from all over the country: many from California; some who followed professors hired from other colleges and universities; and some simply seeking adventure in the West. Though there were many difficulties during the first months – housing was inadequate, microscopes and books were late in arriving from the East – the first year foretold of greatness. As Jane Stanford wrote in the summer of 1892, “Even our fondest hopes have been realized.”
On October 1, 1891, the 465 new students who were on hand for opening day ceremonies at Leland Stanford Junior University greeted Leland and Jane Stanford enthusiastically, with a chant they had made up and rehearsed only that morning. Wah-hoo! Wah-hoo! L-SJ-U! Stanford! Its wild and spirited tone symbolized the excitement of this bold adventure. As a pioneer faculty member recalled, “Hope was in every heart, and the presiding spirit of freedom prompted us to dare greatly.”

Ideas of “Practical Education”
Governor and Mrs. Stanford had come from families of modest means and had built their way up through a life of hard work. So it was natural that their first thoughts were to establish an institution where young men and women could “grapple successfully with the practicalities of life.” As their thoughts matured, these ideas of “practical education” enlarged to the concept of producing cultured and useful citizens who were well-prepared for professional success. Nearly 121 years later, the university still enjoys the original 8,180 acres (almost 13 square miles) of grassy fields, eucalyptus groves, and rolling hills that were the Stanfords’ generous legacy, as well as the Quadrangle of “long corridors with their stately pillars” at the center of campus. It is still true, as the philosopher William James said, during his stint as
a visiting professor, that the climate is “so friendly ... that every morning wakes one fresh for new amounts of work.”
Current Perspectives
In other ways, the university has changed tremendously on its way to recognition as one of the world’s great universities. At the hub of a vital and diverse Bay Area, Stanford is less than an hour’s drive south of San Francisco and just a few minutes north of the Silicon Valley, an area dotted with computer and high technology firms largely spawned by the university’s faculty and graduates. On campus, students and faculty enjoy new libraries, modern laboratories, tremendous sports and recreation facilities, and comfortable residences. Contemporary sculpture, as well as pieces from the Stanford Museum’s extensive collection of sculpture by Auguste Rodin, is placed throughout the campus, providing unexpected pleasures at many turns. At the Stanford Medical Center, world-renowned for its research, teaching, and patient care, scientists and physicians are searching for answers to fundamental questions about health and disease. Ninety miles down the coast, at Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station on the Monterey Bay, scientists are working to better understand the mechanisms of evolution, human development, and ecological systems. The university is organized into seven schools: Earth Sciences, Education, Engineering, the Graduate School of Business, Humanities and Sciences, Law and Medicine. In addition, there are more than 30 interdisciplinary centers, programs, and research laboratories – including the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace; the Institute for International Studies; the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; and the Stanford Center for the Study of

Families, Children and Youth – where faculty from a wide range of fields bring different perspectives to bear on issues and problems. Stanford’s Overseas Studies Program offers students in all fields remarkable opportunities for study abroad, with campuses in Australia, Beijing, Berlin, Cape Town, Florence, Kyoto, Madrid, Moscow, Oxford, Paris, and Santiago.
Through the Haas Center for Public Service, students participate in many community service activities, such as tutoring programs for children in nearby East Palo Alto, the Hunger Project, and the Arbor Free Clinic.
Looking Ahead
Stanford People
By any measure, Stanford’s faculty – which numbers just over 1,800 – is one of the most distinguished in the nation. As of October of 2012, the faculty included 19 Nobel Laureates, four Pulitzer Prize winners, 24 MacArthur Fellows, 18 recipients of the National Medal of Science, two National Medley of Technology recipients, 268 members of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences, 152 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 95 National Academy of Engineering members, 31 members of the National Academy of Education, seven Wolf Foundation Prize winners, six winners of the Koret Foundation Prize and three Presidential Medal of Freedom winners. Yet beyond their array of honors, what truly distinguishes Stanford faculty is their commitment to sharing knowledge with their students. The great majority of professors teach undergraduates both in introductory lecture classes and in small advanced seminars. Cur rently 15,870 students, of which 6,999 are undergraduates, live and study on campus. A little more than
39 percent come from California, but all 50 states and approximately 89 countries are represented as well. Among undergraduates, approximately 55 percent are African American, Asian American, International, Mexican American, Native American, Native Hawaiian or Other Hispanic in ethnicity. Like the faculty, the Stanford student body is distinguished. Approximately 15 students apply to Stanford for every place in the freshman class, with 94 percent of those admitted finishing in the top 10 percent of their high school class. One hundred and seven Stanford students have been named Rhodes Scholars, 86 have been selected Marshall Award winners, and 60 have been chosen Truman Scholars. Nearly 90 percent of graduating seniors plan to attend graduate or professional schools. Stanford students also shine in a tremendous array of activities outside the classroom – from student government to music, theater, and journalism.

In her address to the Board of Trustees, in 1904, Jane Stanford said, “...Let us not be afraid to outgrow old thoughts and ways, and dare to think on new lines as to the future of the work under our care.” Her thoughts echo in the words of former Stanford President Gerhard Casper, who has said, “The true university must reinvent itself every day... At Stanford, these are days of such reconsideration and fresh support for our fundamental tasks – teaching, learning, and research.”

Bernard Muir Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics Brown ’90 Bernard Muir was named Stanford’s Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics on July 27, 2012. He was appointed to his new position by Provost John Etchemendy. “Bernard Muir has a national reputation as a superb athletic administrator,” said Etchemendy. “He also has a deep personal understanding of what it means to be a scholar-athlete, performing at the very highest levels both academically and athletically. In Bernard Muir, we are confident we have a leader with the integrity, experience and commitment to ensure that Stanford’s athletic legacy continues.” Muir has nearly 25 years of athletic administrative experience at Delaware, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Butler, Auburn and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA). He has directed Delaware’s athletic program since 2009 and, before that, was director of athletics at Georgetown from 2005 to 2009. As an undergraduate at Brown University, Muir was a four-year letter winner in basketball. In February 2012, Muir was named to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. The committee oversees all aspects of NCAA collegiate men’s basketball at the Division I level and serves as the selection committee for the NCAA Tournament. He also serves as a member of the board of directors of USA Basketball. At Delaware, Muir is credited with increasing the competitiveness of Blue Hen varsity sports, helping secure NCAA Division I tournament games on campus and enhancing athletic facilities. “I’m thrilled to be joining the Stanford community,” Muir said. “This is a wonderful opportunity for our family. I’m looking forward to being part of the world-class tradition of excellence that characterizes the student-athlete experience at Stanford.” The Stanford program Muir will head has won 18 consecutive Directors’ Cup trophies as the top overall athletic program in the country. Stanford

athletic teams have won at least one national championship annually for the past 36 years, the longest such streak in the nation. Stanford teams have won 103 NCAA Championships, ranking second in the nation. No other school has won more than Stanford’s 423 individual national titles. All 35 programs exceed the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate. The Stanford Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation supports 35 varsity sports as well as campus-wide recreation, fitness and wellness programs. The university employs about 100 coaches and assistants. Ten current coaches have led their teams to one or more NCAA titles. Muir has earned the respect of collegiate athletic administrators nationwide, including Kevin White, director of athletics at Duke University, who is widely regarded as the dean of athletic directors. “Simply put, Stanford University made a brilliant hire,” White said. “Bernard Muir has already distinguished himself as a truly great leader. Bernard is terribly humble, incomparably intelligent and just drips with integrity. Moreover, Bernard is empathetic to a fault, inordinately task oriented, both clearly
adaptable and situational, and ridiculously passionate about the plight of the studentathlete.” Muir was selected after a nationwide search headed by Robert Simoni, the Donald Kennedy Chair in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences and professor of biology, and Jeff Wachtel, senior assistant to the president. “I could not be more delighted that Bernard will join the Stanford family,” said Simoni. “He shares every value we have as an institution and that we expect for our athletic program. He also shares our absolute commitment to integrity and a passion to provide our remarkable students with every opportunity for academic and athletic success. It’s a great day for the future of Stanford athletics.” Before joining the athletics administration at Georgetown, Muir served as deputy director of athletics/administration and facilities at the University of Notre Dame from 2004 to 2005. He also served at Notre Dame as senior associate athletic director for student welfare and development from 2003 to 2004 and as associate athletic director for student welfare and development from 2000 to 2003. Muir worked for the NCAA from 1998 to 2000 as director of operations for the Division I men’s national basketball championship and from 1992 to 1998 as assistant director of the Division I men’s national basketball championship. He began his career in athletics administration as an athletic administrative assistant at Butler University in 1990, and subsequently held positions with Auburn University and Streetball Partners International of Dallas. In 2007, Muir was named to Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Journal’s “Top 40 Under 40.” Muir earned a bachelor’s degree in organizational behavior and management from Brown University in 1990 and a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992. Muir and his wife, Liz, have two daughters, Libby and Millie.

The Mascot
Stanford Traditions The unique origins of Stanford’s mascot and nickname have a history that dates back to the University’s founding in 1885. While the Cardinal has always been one of the school’s official colors, the nickname has gone through a series of changes, student votes, controversy and confusion. Since 1981, Stanford has been known as the Cardinal. Stanford was known as the Indians from 193072. Stanford does not have an official mascot. The “Tree,” which is a member of the Stanford Band, often times is mistaken for the school’s mascot.
Nickname The nickname for Stanford is the Cardinal—in reference to one of the school colors. Stanford’s history with its nickname began on March 19, 1891, when Stanford beat Cal in the first Big Game. While Stanford did not have an official nickname at the time, the day after the Big Game local newspapers picked up the “cardinal” theme and used it in the headlines. Stanford did not have an official nickname until Indians was adopted in 1930. For years prior, the Indian had been a part of the Stanford athletic tradition. Perhaps it grew out of the fact that Cal’s mascot was a Bear, or it may have come from the large Indian population of the area, or from the Indian paraphernalia in abundance in the late 1800s. Whatever its origin, it was accepted by sportswriters and gradually gained wide recognition. Stanford officially adopted the Indian nickname on Nov. 25, 1930 after a unanimous vote by the Executive Committee for the Associated Students. The Indian had long been considered the symbol of Stanford before the official vote, although its origins are only speculation. The Indian symbol was eventually dropped in 1972 following meetings between Stanford native American students and President Richard Lyman. The 55 students, supported by the other 358 American Indians enrolled in California colleges, felt the mascot was an insult to their culture and heritage. As a result of these talks and the ensuing publicity, the Stanford Student Senate voted 18-4 to drop the Indian symbol, and Lyman agreed. There was a move to reinstate the Indian as the school mascot in 1975. The debate was put to a vote along with new suggestions, including the Robber Barons, Sequoias, Trees, Cardinals, Railroaders, Spikes and Huns. None of the suggestions were accepted. From 1972 until November 17, 1981, Stanford’s official nickname was Cardinals, in reference to one of the school’s colors, not the bird. Nine years after the Indian was dropped, Stanford still had not decided on a new mascot. President Donald Kennedy declared in 1981 that all Stanford athletic teams will be represented and symbolized exclusively by the color cardinal. “While various other mascots have been suggested and then allowed to wither, the color has continued to serve us well, as it has for 90 years. It is a rich and vivid metaphor for the very pulse of life.”
The Stanford Band The modern Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band was formed in 1963 when members of the university’s marching band went on strike to protest the firing of the band director. According to lore, the new director, Arthur P. Barnes, immediately won the loyalty of the band by relinquishing any meaningful control over it. Empowered, the student-led band threw away the traditional marching music and uniforms, eventually settling for a mostly rock and roll repertoire and a simplified uniform consisting of a white fishing hat with red trim, red blazer, black pants and “the ugliest tie you can get your hands on.” The band’s repertoire is heavy on classic rock of the 1970s, particularly songs by Tower of Power, Santana, and The Who. In the ‘90s, more modern music was introduced, including songs by Green Day and The Offspring. The de facto fight song is “All Right Now,” originally performed by Free. One of the first collegiate marching bands to record and release their music, the band has produced thirteen albums since 1967. Arrangements focus on the loudest brass instruments—trumpets, mellophones, and trombones—and percussion—one bass drum (called the Axis of Rhythm), snare drums, and single tenor drums. Many traditional band instruments like bells and glockenspiels are altogether absent. Traditional “marching” is also missing, as the band “scatters” from one formation to the next. A team of Stanford students, generally not band members, writes a script for the halftime show explaining to some degree what the band is doing in any given formation. The announcer reads this script over the public address system.
The Sounds of Stanford Over the years, Stanford has associated itself with numerous songs that are entwined with many of the longstanding traditions of the University. The original fight song of Stanford is “Come Join the Band,” while the official Alma Mater is “Hail, Stanford, Hail!” “All Right Now,” originally performed by Free, was adopted by the Stanford Band as its de facto fight song in the early 1970s. All three songs are regularly heard on Stanford Football Saturdays.
There is no official mascot of Stanford University. The “Tree,” which is member of the Stanford Band, is representative of El Palo Alto, the Redwood tree which is the logo of the city of Palo Alto. Since Stanford and Palo Alto are almost inextricably intertwined in interests and location, it is a natural outgrowth of this relationship. The tree still exits and stands by the railroad bridge beside San Francisquito Creek – it is the site where early explorers first camped when settling the area.
The Colors When Stanford first accepted students in 1891, the student body actually voted for gold as the school’s color, but another student assembly chose Cardinal as the school color. A few days after the vote, local sportswriters picked up the “Cardinal” theme after Stanford defeated Cal in the first Big Game on March 19, 1891. The headlines read, “Cardinal Triumphs O’er Blue and Gold.” Cardinal remained the school color until the 1940’s, when the rules committee and conferences started regulating jersey colors for home and visiting football teams. Stanford’s Board of Athletic Control adopted white as the second color. Today, Stanford’s official school colors are Cardinal and White.
Hail, Stanford, Hail!
Where the rolling foothills rise Up towards mountains higher, Where at eve the Coast Range lies In the sunset fire, Flushing deep and paling, Here we raise our voices, hailing Thee, our Alma Mater From the foothills to the bay It shall ring, As we sing, It shall ring and float away. Hail, Stanford, Hail! Hail, Stanford, Hail! Tender vistas ever new Through the arches meet the eyes Where the red roofs rim the blue Of the sun-steeped skies Flecked with cloudlets sailing, Here we raise our voices, hailing Thee, our Alma Mater
Come Join the Band
Come, join the band, And give a cheer for Stanford red; Throughout the land Our banner waving overhead; Stanford, for you; Each loyal comrade brave and true With might and main sings this refrain, “Forever and forever Stanford red.” After the game, When Stanford red has won the day, Praising her name Down on the field we’ll force our way And on the green Each man who joins the serpentine With might and main sings this refrain, “Forever and forever Stanford red.”
When the moonlight-bathed arcade Stands in evening calms, When the light wind, half afraid, Whispers in the palms, Far-off swelling, failing, Student voices glad are hailing Thee, our Alma Mater

THE GRANDDADDY OF THEM ALL
®
The Rose Bowl Game became The Granddaddy of Them All for the media as well. It played scene to the first local and transcontinental radio broadcast of a sporting event as well as the first local and national telecast of a college football game.
Every January, the world focuses its attention on Pasadena, Calif., home of the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game. It’s a celebration more than a century old—a festival of flowers, music and sports unequaled anywhere in the world. The Tournament of Roses is more than just a parade and football game. It’s America’s New Year Celebration®, a greeting to the world on the first day of the year, and a salute to the community spirit and love of pageantry that has thrived in Pasadena since 1902. The 124th Rose Parade presented by Honda, themed “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!™” takes place on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013, at 2:10 (PT), featuring majestic floral floats, high-stepping equestrian units and spirited marching bands from throughout the nation. At 2:10 p.m. (PST), the 99th Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO will feature an exciting matchup between two of the top teams in the nation. Known as the oldest of bowls, the Rose Bowl Game kicked off a myriad of college football legacies in 1902. Since then, the game has been home to 17 Heisman Trophy winners, produced 29 national champions, featured 195 consensus AllAmericans and honored 107 college football legends by inducting them into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame. The first Tournament of Roses football game, which was the first of its kind in the nation, was staged at Tournament Park on Jan. 1, 1902. The game matched a West Coast Stanford team and a Midwestern team, Michigan, both of whom were later to become members of today’s Pac-12 and Big Ten conferences. Michigan defeated Stanford 49–0, prompting the football

contest to be replaced with Roman-style chariot races, inspired by the literary classic Ben Hur. In 1916, football was permanently reinstated. The Rose Bowl Game agreement between the powerful Big Ten and Pac-12 conferences required a long courtship before today’s exclusive pact was signed. Initially, the Tournament of Roses Association invited teams to compete on the gridiron. Beginning in 1924, the Tournament invited only the Western team, which in turn selected its Eastern opponent. Then, in 1935, the Pacific Coast Conference began choosing one of its own teams to compete on New Year’s Day, and it continued to select opposition. The present exclusive agreement among the Tournament of Roses Association, the Big Ten Conference and the Pac-12 Conference was born in 1946. (The first game under the agreement was played on Jan. 1, 1947.) The pact is the oldest intercollegiate postseason bowl agreement between two major conferences in the United States. Since 1947, both conferences have undergone various transformations. Today’s Pac-12 Conference originated as the Pacific 1936 marked Stanford’s third consecutive Rose Bowl Game appearance from 1934-36.
Coast Conference and changed to the Athletic Association of Western Universities in 1959, then to the Pacific-8 Conference in 1968, and then to the Pac–10 in 1978. With the addition of Colorado and Utah, the conference became the Pac-12 in 2011. The Big Ten Conference has also altered its composition. With the addition of Nebraska in 2011, the Big Ten now comprises 12 teams. The Rose Bowl Game has rightfully earned its designated title, The Granddaddy of Them All. This collegiate classic has been the occasion of many firsts. The Rose Bowl Game was the first local radio broadcast of an East-West bowl game in 1926, the first transcontinental radio broadcast of a sporting event in 1927, the first local telecast of a college football game in 1948, the first national telecast of a college football game in 1952 and the first coast-to-coast color telecast of a collegiate football game in 1962. Over the past 98 games, the history and excitement of the Rose Bowl Game have produced scores of fantastic adventures for players, coaches and fans around the globe. If the first 10 decades are any indication, The Granddaddy of Them All is sure to carry the incredible exhibition of gridiron glory through the next century.
Stanford played in the first Tournament of Roses football game, which was the first of its kind in the nation, on January 1, 1902.
