STANFORD, Calif. -- For Stanford defensive lineman Brennan Scarlett, putting a positive spin on the Cardinal's 38-36 loss to Oregon may be a bit easier than it is for his teammates: The transfer from California now has a chance to clinch a Pac-12 North title against the program that he used to play for.
"We can't have our heads down too much," Scarlett said. "We're still fighting for this Pac-12 championship. And the next step comes against my former team, too."
The Cardinal's College Football Playoff hopes are dead. They would have been in excellent shape with a win over the Ducks, especially since Oklahoma knocked off No.
