The Stanford Cardinal (8-4 / 6-3 PAC 12) finished their season exactly as they had hoped, by retaining “The Axe” with a 23-13 win on the road over their arch-rival CAL (7-5 / 4-5 PAC 12). The victory extends the longest winning streak in the 127 year history of the rivalry to nine games, and continues Stanford head coach David Shaw’s incredible perfect record of 8-0 vs. the extremely disliked (Not ‘hated’, as there is no more room left in the world for that word) Bears. Believe it or not that means more to coach Shaw than anyone, as he was a three sport athlete on The Farm long before he was the football Field General.
