Takeaways from the Win Over Arizona

It is safe to say that the Stanford University football season is not going as the coaching staff, players and fans envisioned a few months ago. Led by star running back Christian McCaffrey, Stanford entered the 2016 college football season as the 11th ranked team in the country. Everything looked great for Stanford after three games, but their season quickly unraveled thanks in part to sloppy quarterback play. After a series of poor offensive performances, Stanford finally decided to change their QB before playing the Arizona Wildcats last week.

After losing the preseason quarterback battle to Ryan Burns, Keller Chryst got his first start of the year against a struggling Arizona team.
