When the season first was announced, we all knew there was a chance at some special moments for this Stanford Cardinal team. However, after two lackluster performances and a slew of COVID-19-related issues during the first three weeks of action, all hope was seemingly lost.
Focus shifted to the other athletic programs playing their sports this fall-winter season. And yet, the Cardinal football team stayed the course.
And after knocking off the Oregon State Beavers, 27-24, on Saturday night, the Cardinal finished the season with three consecutive wins that included knocking off a top-25 team and de facto Pac-12 North Champion Washington.
