It’s time to reclaim The Axe for the Stanford Cardinal. After losing it for the first time in a decade last year, the Cardinal are locked into a Friday afternoon battle with the California Golden Bears in the 123rd Big Game, and the first time the game has been played on a non-Saturday since 1900.
It also marks an important aspect for the Bears, as this game is their 2020 home opener after having to cancel their original home opener this year.
The game sees both enter at 0-2 and both in need of a win.
