HONOLULU (AP)Ashton Daniels passed for 249 yards and two touchdowns and Stanford opened its season with a 37-24 victory over Hawaii on Friday night.

The Cardinal were making their debut under new coach Troy Taylor, who spent the last four seasons at Sacramento State.

Daniels, a sophomore, made his first career start. He completed 25 of 36 passes and was not intercepted.

Benjamin Yurosek was Daniels' favorite target. The senior tight end hauled in nine passes for a career-high 138 yards. Yurosek's 32-yard TD catch with 12:24 left in the second quarter gave Stanford the lead for good.

Stanford finished with 407 total yards and got field goals of 25, 25 and 46 yards from Josh Karty, who has converted his last 21 field goals dating to last year.
