The 2016 edition of the Stanford Cardinal was the first coached by David Shaw to be selected to win the Pac-12 North in the preseason media poll.
Now, following a 44-6 beatdown at the hands of Washington and with the WSU Cougars looming on deck, the 2016 Stanford Cardinal are perhaps already playing to simply keep their conference championship hopes alive.
How’s this all sitting with Cardinal fans? We reached out to our SB Nation brethren at Rule of Tree and Tony Fernandes was kind enough to answer our questions. (My answers to his questions follow.)
CougCenter: Stanford’s loss to Washington was stunning in not just the result, but the manner of the result.
