Ten years ago, Stanford fans could only dream of a winning record let alone the possibility of a ten win season. Now, Stanford fans seem to be disappointed with the idea of a three loss season. But should they be?
Stanford came into the year with high expectations. After an impressive Rose Bowl win, they were picked to win the PAC-12, the playoff was in sight, and Stanford fans were excited for another Christian McCaffrey Heisman campaign. Everything was going as planned after starting the year 3-0, but everything changed when the Cardinal arrived in Seattle. The Huskies embarrassed the Cardinal on national TV and showed the nation that Stanford was a different team than year’s past.
