The Stanford Cardinal Selected Senior Quarterback Ryan Burns to Start Week 1 Against Kansas State
The Stanford Cardinal, a Pac-12 powerhouse for the past half-decade, are ranked 8th nationally and are expected to win the Pac-12 yet again. Led by Heisman Trophy candidate Christian McCaffery and, for what seems like the 200th year in a row, another stellar defense, Stanford should face its biggest challenge around bowl season, and is expected to more or less roll through the regular season. However, until August 24th, they didn't even have a starting quarterback.
That wasn't too much of a worry for David Shaw's Cardinal, however.
