The first 8 seasons of David Shaw’s Stanford career were electric. The Cardinal averaged double-digit wins and routinely played in the Rose Bowl, the past three seasons have been a bit of a struggle for Stanford though. Tanner McKee is a good quarterback when healthy, but the offense was really bad last season and the wheels fell off for their defense at the end of the 2021 season.
Looking at this upcoming season, Stanford has a bunch of returning production and a pathway to be good again. They should have an above average secondary and they do have excellent receivers.
