• Stanford football hits the road for the final time this season, making the trip to Corvallis to face No. 12 Oregon State on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. on Pac-12 Network.

• All three Stanford wins in 2023 have come on the road. With just this week's game at Oregon State left on the road portion of the schedule, Stanford has clinched a winning record in road games for the first time in a non-COVID-19 season since 2018.
• The defense shined on Saturday at Washington State. The Cardinal limited the Cougars to just seven points and 245 total yards of offense, including just 57 yards in the second half. That is the first time the Stanford defense has held a team to single- digit points since the 2019 season opener against Northwestern. The last time Stanford held a Pac-12 team to fewer than 10 points on the road came in 2012 when the Cardinal blanked Colorado.
• Despite scoring just 10 points, Stanford beat Washington State. It is the fewest points scored in a Stanford win since the 1998 Big Game vs. California (10).
• Third down defense has been a trouble spot for Stanford in 2023, but it was a big boost on Saturday. Stanford limited Washington State to just 5-15 on third downs, the lowest conversion rate allowed by the defense this year.
• Justin Lamson ran in the only touchdown of the game for Stanford on a 1-yard rush in the third quarter. He eclipsed 20 carries for the second time this season and now leads the offense with four rushing touchdowns.
• Oregon State is ranked #12 in the country and currently sits fourth in the Pac-12 with a 4-2 record. They can win in a variety of ways: their offense has scored 35+ in five games, and they've held opponents under 20 points in five games.
