Oregon-Stanford Football Series History

Oregon and Stanford played 11 football games against each other from 1900 to 1929, all of them victories for Stanford. After a hiatus, the regular season series resumed in Palo Alto on October 10 1936. The Webfoots at last avoided defeat in a 7-7 tie. The next season in Eugene was Oregon’s first victory in the series, 7-6. From 1938 to 1948 the schools would split the six games played before and after WWII. The greatest success for the Ducks against Stanford in the 20th century came under Len Casanova, whose record in the series as head coach from 1951 to 1966 was 9-7, including 7 consecutive victories from 1957 to 1963.
