Running back Bryce Love, Christian McCaffrey's speedy sidekick in the Stanford backfield, will not play in the Cardinal's season opener against Kansas State on Friday night due to injury.
Head coach David Shaw did not disclose the exact nature of Love's injury, but the sophomore was seen in a walking boot at practice about 10 days ago. Love is no longer wearing the boot this week, and he has been participating in some individual work and Stanford's post-practice team stretches. The Cardinal hope to have him available after a bye week for their Sept.
