Saturday will mark the first meeting between Rodriguez's Wildcats and Brian Kudron's Stanford Cardinal. Senior quarterback Trevor Parham is the ideal dual-threat QB that Rodriguez looks for in his spread offense. He's not the game breaker that Pat White or Denard Robinson were at Rodriguez's previous stops, but he has the wheels to keep the defense accountable. The Wildcats will deploy two senior tailbacks to run alongside Parham - bruiser Troy Gray (6'0, 218) and burner Jared Baker (5'9, 189). UA will sorely, sorely miss senior wideout Kevin Dunlap against Stanford, though. The 6'5 senior won the Biletnikoff Award last season after a monstrous season with 102 catches, 1587 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had five catches for 130 yards in the season-opening loss to Auburn two weeks ago, but he injured his elbow during that game, and will not be available against the Cardinal. Arizona will have to rely on a combination of Jason Hickman, Patrick Onwuasor, David Richards, and tight end Michael Cooper to pick up the slack. Defensively, the Wildcats run a 3-3-5 defense under Jeff Casteel, who rejoined Rodriguez's staff when Rodriguez took the Arizona job. Running such an unorthodox defense could spell disaster against a punishing offense like Stanford. UA's senior trio of linebackers, Domonique Petties, Timothy Burton, and Hank Hobson, will have to be at the top of their game. Senior Adam Love and junior Herb Weber give Arizona a solid pair of corners, and seniors Brad Davis and Cortez Johnson do the same at safety, rounding out a very experienced defense.

#2 Stanford @ #24 Arizona
Arizona Stadium
Tucson, AZ
September 19, 2015



Stanford dodges one in the desert
In a twist, Williams saves the day for the Cardinal - with his legs

TUCSON, AZ - It was hyped internally as a much-anticipated homecoming for the Arizonans inhabiting Stanford's roster. And it went well, as Copper State natives Adrian Turner, Andrew Edwards and John Arnold all made big plays for the Cardinal, while two Arizona high schoolers on Stanford's radar attended the game as unofficial visitors on UA's sideline.

In the end though, it was Shane Williams busting out the new wrinkle to Stanford's diverse offense, executing a perfect zone read play out of the shotgun, pulling the ball out of Garrett Cason's stomach as Arizona defensive end Allen Downing crashed down on him. From there Williams jogged into the endzone untouched, providing the winning margin in Stanford's 35-28 win over the Wildcats with only 23 seconds remaining.

"I don't want people to get the wrong idea, we're not turning into Oregon here," Brian Kudron laughed after the game. "But Shane has the athleticism to be a threat on the ground, so we'd be foolish not to take advantage of that. Now obviously his rushing stats aren't the best because of the sacks he's taking, haha...but the zone read plays we're installing in our offense add a dimension that we feel makes our offense that much tougher to defend."

Stanford returns to the Valley of the Sun

September 22, 2015

The state of Arizona has been very kind to Stanford over the years, sending notables like Devon Carrington, Blake Murphy, Drew Terrell, Harold Bernard and Quinn Evans to the Farm, with head man Brian Kudron maintaining the pipeline since he took over in Palo Alto, signing Marcus Davenport, John Arnold, Andrew Edwards, Adrian Turner, and Kyle Davis in his first four classes. Hamilton High School in Chandler has been especially Stanford-friendly, sending Carrington, Terrell and Edwards to the Bay Area.

This year Stanford is back in Arizona, pursuing two of the West's top interior defensive linemen, one of whom attends that same Hamilton High School.

The nation's 14th ranked defensive tackle, Juan Johnson, has been keeping an eye on former high school teammate Andrew Edwards, who is growing into a dominant force on Stanford's D-line. His success has Johnson's interest piqued.

"It means a lot to me, seeing Andrew succeed there," the 6'2, 290-pound Johnson said. "Our coaches at Hamilton have nothing but good things to say about Stanford, they've taken care of our guys up there, so I feel very comfortable with them, and knowing how world-class a Stanford education is, if I can get in, it'd be really hard to say no."

Whereas Edwards is a 350-pound run stuffing nose guard, Johnson is built more in a pass rushing mold. While playing the waiting game with Stanford admissions, Johnson is also hearing from Ole Miss, Oregon, USC, Michigan, Illinois, and others.

Meanwhile, 170 miles to the southeast, near the Arizona-Mexico border in the city of Sierra Vista, is the country's #19 defensive tackle, Carlos Roberts. Roberts is more of a run stopper at 6'0, 316 pounds, and he's developed a friendship with his fellow Arizonian defender.

"Me and Juan have become close friends over the past year or so," Roberts said. "We've met up on the camp circuit a few times, and we were both at the Stanford/Arizona game on Saturday. We've got a lot of the same schools after us, and Stanford's one of them. I think it'd be cool to be teammates in college."

While the Cardinal may be emerging as the favorite for Johnson, the competition for Roberts will be more heated, as the local schools Arizona and Arizona State, along with Cal and Texas, round out his top five.

They now sit at 3-0, and appear up to the challenge of facing Stanford, with their fabled blue turf aiding them. Senior quarterback Jermaine Sanders is not the most accurate passer, so he won't remind anybody of Kellen Moore, but he has grown into a very reliable leader and has the arm strength to make just about any throw. Flanking him will be Boise's bruising duo of 238-pound Damon Morrow (214 yards, 5.6 YPC, 2 TDs) and 229-pound Eric Riley (169, 4.9, 1). Meanwhile, BSU's #1 offensive weapon is junior wideout Jerome Tompkins, who leads his team with 19 receptions, 228 yards, and five touchdowns through the first three games. But he is certainly not the Broncos' only receiving threat: junior wideouts Steve Olson and Matt Cronin, and tight ends Maurice Walker and Michael Lewis round out a very talented corps of skill position players. Defensively, Boise State still runs an unorthodox 4-2-5 defense, and they remain one of the most fundamentally sound units in America. Juniors Robbie Goins and DJ Myrick are very dangerous pass rushers off the edge, and with Stanford's sketchy pass protection so far, they could be very disruptive. At linebacker, Jonathan Hunter leads BSU with 3.5 sacks and 21 tackles overall, followed closely by Roderick Robbins' 20. Star middle linebacker Reggie Ervin missed BSU's last game with injury, but is expected to be 100% for Stanford. In the secondary, Boise is supremely experienced and very talented junior Jonathan Morris is in his third year as a starter and is becoming one of the Pac-12's best cornerbacks. Opposite Morris, fellow junior Larry Scott is also in his third year of extensive playing time, giving the Broncos an abundance of experience. Even nickelback Rasheed Callahan has been playing since his freshman year. The three safeties that play in Boise's 4-2-5 are all seniors, and are all big, sure tacklers: Beau Glover (6'0, 204), Brandon Heard (6'0, 211), and Vince Buckley (6'0, 200). One item of note is the diversity of the Broncos in terms of location. As they've risen to prominence, Boise State has gone national in their recruiting: Jermaine Sanders is from Oil City, Pennsylvania. Their two tailbacks are from Delaware and Minnesota. They have wideouts and tight ends from Texas, Washington, Ohio, Tennessee, and Florida. Their starting five up front are from Massachusetts, Iowa, Ohio, Texas, and Alabama. Their four starting defensive linemen hail from Illinois, Mississippi, Washington, and Arizona. Their three-man rotation at linebacker features an Idahoan, a Californian, and a West Virginian. Their top three corners are from Oregon, Utah, and Ohio, and their three starting safeties are from North Carolina, Washington, and Texas. Even their placekicker is from Wisconsin.

Stanford feels the Blues
Frenzied Broncos force uncharacteristic Stanford mistakes that lead to the upset

BOISE, ID - It was probably inevitable that Shane Williams would make some mistakes as a young quarterback that would likely lead to a hole Stanford couldn't climb out of.

It came down to the wire, but it happened Saturday night, as the Cardinal turned the ball over three times in the redzone in a close 38-33 loss to Boise State on the Smurf Turf in southwest Idaho.

The three turnovers were exceptionally brutal: the first was a pass that Williams fired just behind wide receiver Terrance Bradford and into the arms of BSU safety Vince Buckley, who returned it 86 yards to the endzone. On the next possession, Garrett Cason broke loose for a 20 yard run and was inside the five yard line, only to be undercut by Boise DB Beau Glover. The ball flew into the air as Cason's legs were cut out from under him, and Buckley scooped it up on one hop.

The third was the worst of all. Late in the fourth quarter, it seemed like Stanford was going to overcome all the mistakes and defensive lapses, as Williams drove the Cardinal to the brink of the goalline, trailing 31-26 - only to misjudge a throw over the middle intended for tight end Kevin Jackson. The pass didn't have enough air under it, and was picked off in the endzone by linebacker Rod Robbins. Each team would add a touchdown, but that turnover essentially sealed Stanford's fate.

"This is one of the hardest places in the country to play," Stanford coach Brian Kudron said. "You can never come in here with anything less than your A game and expect to win; that's just not possible, because Boise is so good on their home field. We just made too many mistakes. And Shane feels bad. He knows he's got to do better, but it's something that'll happen with young quarterbacks. This'll be a learning experience, hopefully for our whole team as a whole, but definitely Shane in particular."
