4-8. Let that sink in for a moment.
The last time Stanford finished 4-8 was in 2007 under Jim Harbaugh. However, that season was much more successful than this one; in 2007, they completed arguably the greatest upset ever over USC, and they beat Cal in another impressive upset. This season did not come with any big upset or any Big Game victory. Instead, it came with complete disappointment.
How does Stanford bounce back?
David Shaw and the Cardinal need to look themselves in the mirror ahead of next season. They need to remember what made them so great on offense: a physical and explosive run game.
