Stanford senior wideout J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (6’4” / 228 lbs) was a man playing against boys Friday night on The Farm, going for 226 yards and 3 touchdowns on only 6 catches. While this equates to an amazing 37.7 yards per catch, what was far more important to the Cardinal in game, was the mojo that each of his grabs seemed to steal back from the opponent.
In that regard, his 39 yard TD in the 2nd quarter gave #10 Stanford (1-0) their first lead of the game, which they were able to take in to halftime. Then in the 2nd half, his scores from 80 and 19 yards respectively each seemed to win back the momentum from a strong SDSU (0-1) defensive unit.
