What should Stanford fans be thankful for this season?

As we celebrate Thanksgiving Day, let us look back on the 2016 season. With all the ups and downs, there is a lot to be thankful for as we carve the turkey.

  1. Return to health - Christian McCaffrey’s return to health is a huge part of the Stanford hot streak and getting him at full strength changes the way this offense operates. But Quenton Meeks was injured too, which put stress on the entire defense and how they cover opponents. He also is a big playmaker like McCaffrey - do you think Stanford wins the ugly Notre Dame game without his pick six?
