How UC Davis could Surprise Stanford

Well, eat your heart out Stanford football fans. You’ve got what you wanted: a day game. But before you show up to campus bright and early for the 11 am kickoff (the earliest at home in Stanford history), don’t think the UC Davis Aggies will be a walk in the park.

The last time Stanford had an early kickoff time, it didn’t end well. Traveling to Northwestern in 2015 for an 11 am local kickoff time, Stanford came into the game ranked No. 21, but dropped the game 16-6, arguably costing the Cardinal a trip to the College Football Playoff.
