Notes

  • 19,248 • As the crow flies, Stanford will have traveled 19,248 miles before kicking off against Washington State on Nov. 4. The trip from Stanford's campus to Sydney's Allianz Stadium, where the Cardinal opened the season against Rice (Aug. 26), spanned 14,866 miles. A mere 642 round-trip miles separated Stanford Stadium from the Los Angeles Coliseum (at USC on Sept. 9), 858 from San Diego Stadium (at San Diego State on Sept. 16) and 1,198 from Rice-Eccles Stadium (at Utah on Oct. 7). Nearly 992 miles separated Stanford Stadium from Reser Stadium (at Oregon State on Oct. 26), and Washington State's Martin Stadium is 692 miles away from The Farm.
  • 2,085 • Of the 44,073 applicants -- the largest application pool in school history -- for Stanford's class of 2021, only 2,085 were admitted. The admitted students came from all 50 states and 82 countries.
  • 2016 • Washington State's Luke Falk threw for 357 yards and four touchdowns and the Cougars' defensive line shut down Christian McCaffrey and the Cardinal offense in a 42-16 victory. The Cougars held the Cardinal to 296 yards and did not allow an offensive score until the final play of the game. Stanford had an eight-game winning streak against Washington State snapped, and lost for the first time in all-black uniforms, which have been worn for at least one game annually since 2010. In an odd twist, Conrad Ukropina had two long field-goal tries bounce off the left upright -- both in the first half with the score fairly close.
  • 2015 • Washington State kicker Erik Powell missed wide right on a 43-yard field goal as time expired, allowing Stanford to escape with a 30-28 win on a day Powell tied Drew Dunning's 2003 school record with five makes despite rainy, windy conditions. Conrad Ukropina kicked a 19-yard field goal with 1:54 left to put Stanford ahead. Kevin Hogan ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns for Stanford to help keep the Cardinal undefeated in Pac-12 play. Hogan completed just 10 of 19 passes for 86 yards. But he ran 14 times, including a 59-yard touchdown run, and even out-rushed teammate Christian McCaffrey, who finished with 107 yards rushing to surpass 1,000 for the season. Quenton Meeks had two interceptions, including a fourth-quarter grab that helped give Stanford a 27-22 lead in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter.
  • 2014 • Kevin Hogan threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 25 Stanford slowed down Connor Halliday and the Air Raid offense in a 34-17 victory over Washington State at Stanford Stadium.

The Cougars had minus-26 yards rushing.
  • 2012 • Washington State rallied behind quarterback Jeff Tuel, who totaled 401 yards on an arm-weary 43-of-60 passing, with two touchdowns and one interception. But with the game tied 10-10 at halftime, Stanford's defense came up big as Ed Reynolds returned an interception 25 yards for a touchdown and the Cardinal tallied a school-record 10 sacks in the 24-17 win. Stanford shut down the Cougars' ground attack, which finished with minus-16 yards.
  • 2009 • Andrew Luck threw for 193 yards in his collegiate debut and Toby Gerhart ran for 121 yards as Stanford won its season opener in Pullman, 39-13. Chris Owusu returned a kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, his first of three kickoff returns for scores during the 2009 season.
  • 2008 • Toby Gerhart rushed for four first-half touchdowns to tie a single-game record as Stanford blanked the Cougars, 58-0, in a driving rainstorm at Stanford Stadium. The 58-point margin of victory was Stanford's second largest in the post-World War II Era.
  • 1992 • A ranked Stanford team (No. 15) last beat a ranked Washington State team (No. 21) in 1992, a 40-3 win at Stanford Stadium.

  • 1975 • Stanford rushed for 395 yards in a 54-14 victory over the Cougars in Pullman. At the time, the rushing performance was the second best in school history.
  • 1970 • Jim Plunkett connected with Randy Vataha on a 96-yard touchdown pass at the 10:12 mark of the second quarter, which at the time was the longest pass play in school history.
