Opponent Q&A: Talking Stanford Cardinal Football

Earlier this week we had the chance to talk to Hank Waddles from the Stanford site Go Mighty Card regarding this week’s matchup with the Huskies.

Here’s what we learned in our Q&A:

.

UWDP: Tanner McKee has been extremely efficient this season, with a 14/3 TD to INT ratio while averaging nearly 250 yards per game. What have been the keys behind his success? Where can McKee still get better?

Hank Waddles: Tanner McKee has been even better than expected this season. He was a highly recruited quarterback in the 2018 recruiting class, ranking along side players like Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields, but then spent almost two years in Brazil on an LDS mission before returning when the pandemic hit in early 2020.
