Christian McCaffrey and Alijah Holder returned to action this week against Colorado but in the first half penalties, stalled drives, quarterback switches, and a struggling offensive line continued to plague the Stanford offense in the first 30 minutes. Yet, Stanford only trailed 7-3
On Stanford’s second possession of the game the Cardinal offense was able to put together a 14-play, 66 yard drive that resulted in a field goal. The remaining Stanford possessions, however, were woeful.
At one point with just over 2 minutes left in the second quarter Shaw swapped quarterbacks on each of 8 straight plays.
