It was not all doom and gloom on Saturday, there were some positives for The Cardinal
While Stanford was thoroughly beaten in Saturday's opening contest at Northwestern, there were positive signs from the 2015 squad.
1. The opening drive
Stanford's best drive was their first, moving the ball 64 yards on 12 plays, eating up 6:27 worth of clock. While it's disheartening that the offense went effectively an entire game after this drive without producing anything, we caught a glimpse of how talented this team really is. Mixing runs and passes, and showing the most creativity you would see all day, Stanford carved up the Northwestern D before a few questionable playcalls killed the drive in the red zone.
