Second half surge for Stanford
Freshman phenom sets the stage for Cardinal to cruise after halftime

PALO ALTO, CA - Aaron Johnson hasn't seen the field on offense for a single snap this season. But the freshman speedster from Southern California is already becoming one of Stanford's most dangerous weapons.

Johnson had two electric punt returns back-to-back in the third quarter on Saturday, setting up two very short drives resulting in Stanford touchdowns, helping the Cardinal pull away from Boise State in a 47-7 laugher that was only 13-7 at halftime.

"Aaron's been getting better with every game," coach Brian Kudron said. "He's adapting to the college game very well, and is looking more and more comfortable each week. Wide receiver is probably one of our deepest and most secure positions, so he hasn't gotten on the field there yet, but at this rate it's only a matter of time."

Brett Nottingham capitalized on Johnson's playmaking, throwing for 231 yards and three touchdowns, while the Cardinal's defense carried their weight as well, forcing two turnovers, registering six sacks, and holding the Broncos to an eye-popping eight net yards rushing and 169 total.

Surprisingly to see Boise down in the dumps and struggling now, looks like the move to the Pac-12/16 has really caught up to them. Stanford is clicking on all cylinders, hopefully this is the year you can finally stay unbeaten long enough for that chance at the Crystal Ball.

Going into Palo Alto to take on Stanford is probably not the best way to take the next step, as the Cardinal is immensely more talented and powerful than the Aztecs. Senior running back Adam Muema and senior wideout Jay Waddell are SDSU's spotlight players on offense, while senior corner Mahbu Keels and senior defensive end Jordan Thomas are their best players on the defensive side of the ball.

The Wild, Wild West
Stanford survives an old-fashioned shootout against SDSU

PALO ALTO, CA - This is most certainly not what Stanford fans have come to expect over the past few years. And Cardinal coach Brian Kudron made that very clear, while also taking a not so subtle jab at a conference foe.

"Obviously this isn't what we're about here," Kudron said after Stanford's absurd 78-45 win over San Diego State. "There might be some other teams in this conference happy with poor defense and having to outgun the other team, but that's not us. That's not what this program is about, and it goes against everything we try to teach these kids. The fact that we have an offense good enough to score as many points as we do doesn't have we should have to. We've got some soul searching to do, defensively."

That soul searching will focus on the secondary, as SDSU backup Chad Jefferies threw for 465 yards and four touchdowns after Stanford knocked starter Bryan Woods out with an injury. Stanford's defense did score twice themselves, but was otherwise inept against the Aztecs. Thankfully Stanford may have the best offense in America, as Brett Nottingham, Remound Wright, and the ferocious, veteran offensive line carried their weight, keeping distance between themselves and the Aztecs all day.

A hint that things might've been wacky came early in the game, when San Diego State opened the scoring with a touchdown, only to have Stanford corner AJ Grant explode off the edge and block the extra point, which was then returned by linebacker Trevor Galloway for two points. Grant later blocked a field goal in the third quarter.

Whatever is plaguing the Cardinal defense, they have two weeks to fix, as a bye week looms, followed by a tough road test in Provo against BYU.

Newport Beach produces the newest Cardinal

October 1, 2014

Stanford has had remarkable, remarkable success recruiting the inside linebacker positions for their 3-4 defense under head coach Brian Kudron, as Shayne Skov's stellar career in Palo Alto opened the eyes to linebackers across the country. Such spotlight has led star recruits like Tremayne Simmons, Matt Turner, Jeff Charles, Michael Ross, and Cedric Phillips to Stanford. All of the aforementioned were among the most elite inside linebacker prospects in the country during their recruitments, and now the Cardinal can add a name to that list.

The 5th ranked MLB in America, four-star Michael Downing of Newport Harbor High School in Newport Beach in Orange County made the call today, jumping on the offer Stanford made to him a few weeks ago.

"I knew I wanted to stay home," the 6'2, 245-pound Downing said. "I was always gonna stay in California for college, and for Stanford to come along and offer the elite combination of academics and football, it was just a blessing. They really tailor their defense to their linebackers, their MIKE linebackers are always making the tackles and always blitzing, they really highlight their skills, so I'm anxious and proud to get up there and continue that tradition."

Davis will wait for Stanford

As is always the case when it comes to Stanford recruiting, the hurdle of having to have prospects clear the steep admissions office is a daunting one, and it puts significant restrictions on what players the Cardinal can recruit. To that end, the nation's #1 offensive tackle, four-star Kyle Davis of Tempe (AZ) Corona Del Sol has his mind made up on where he wants to go to school - but it's not a done deal yet.

"If I get admitted to Stanford, I'm going to Stanford," Davis said plainly. "I've got the GPA, and my test scores should be good, and I've filled out all the application paperwork I needed to, so it's just a matter of whether I make the cut or not. I've already told all the colleges recruiting me, if I get the green light from Stanford, my recruitment is over."

The 6'8, 345-pound behemoth is still in close contact with Auburn, Oregon, USC, Michigan, and others, in case things don't work out with Stanford.
