Stanford steamrolled Colorado 42-10 to come within a step of clinching the Pac-12 North. In a game that pitted the league's top rushing offense against its worst run defense, the Cardinal amassed 275 yards on the ground. Christian McCaffrey delivered another big effort, finishing with 220 all-purpose yards and a 28-yard touchdown pass on a trick play. Kevin Hogan returned to his efficient throwing ways, completing 17-of-23 passes for 169 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also continued making big plays with his feet, rushing for a key touchdown right before halftime.
What this win means for Stanford: A week after sweating their way to victory at Washington State, the Cardinal cruised.
