How far has the Stanford program come in 20 years? A very, very long way
We're less than 60 days away from the start of the 2016 Stanford football season, so let's take a stroll down memory lane - 20 years to be exact - and revisit the 1996 Stanford campaign. While the 1996 edition of Stanford Cardinal football may not belong in the pantheon of elite Stanford football teams, the ‘96 Cardinal, coached by Ty Willingham were one of the more resilient groups we have ever seen on the Farm. While they may not be remembered by a dominant Rose Bowl victory or a PAC 10 championship, they provided great memories.
