Cardinal is top dog against UW
Defense wins the day for Stanford against Pac-12 North foe

PALO ALTO, CA - Washington entered the game against Stanford looking to make a statement that they were ready to get over the hump.

Instead they were used as fodder for a Stanford defense that appears to be hitting its stride.

The Cardinal turned a tight first half into a second half blowout, holding Washington's powerful running attack to -30 yards net rushing in a 34-10 blowout victory in front of the home faithful at Stanford Stadium. Stanford's own rushing game was a force as usual, aided by a surprising 61 yard touchdown dash by quarterback Shane Williams. The offense as a whole though, wasn't at the top of its game, seemingly content to let the defense take point on this day.

"I thought today was a great effort all around," Coach Kudron said. "I mean, yeah, people can look at the box score and see we didn't have a big day throwing the ball, but the need didn't present itself. We were running the ball well all game, and our defense had a great day. It's always about running the ball and stopping the run here at Stanford, and we did both of those things well today. Hard to complain."

Stanford goes one for two with DeMatha duo

October 20, 2015

The Washington Catholic Athletic Conference in the Washington Metropolitan Area around the nation's capital has become one of Stanford coach Brian Kudron's favorite recruiting grounds; particularly Maryland rivals Our Lady of Good Counsel in Olney and DeMatha Catholic in Hyattsville, as both schools are talent factories that send numerous players to D-1 college football every season. Third year sophomores Garrett Cason and AJ Grant are Good Counsel alums currently enjoying breakout seasons in the starting lineup for the Cardinal, while DeMatha product Jarrett Green is a redshirt freshman with an exceptionally bright future.

Stanford returned to DeMatha this year in search of two of the Stags' standout seniors - and will leave one for two. DeMatha is fertile ground for Stanford because of its traditionally prestigious academics, but even then, the rigorous Stanford admissions process inevitably turns some down. That appears to be the case with three-star DeMatha offensive tackle Carl Johnson, who, after favoring Stanford for the entire process, chose Florida State Tuesday. While the Stanford admissions office of course cannot comment on prospective students' transcripts and admissions status, this is a familiar script in Stanford recruiting: a prospect is heavily pursued by the Cardinal coaching staff, reciprocates interest, and then mysteriously commits to another school out of the blue. Adding two and two together, it seems logical that Johnson got bad news from Stanford, and chose FSU as his second choice.

However, the good news outweighs the bad in this case, as the most highly touted of DeMatha's senior class, four-star cornerback Louis Gray, was admitted to Stanford over the weekend, and ended his recruitment today, picking the Cardinal over South Carolina, Pittsburgh, Illinois, Florida, and others. Gray is decently sized at 5'11, 180 pounds, has good-not-great speed, and has exceptional awareness and tackling skills. He will join the long line of elite national-level cornerback recruits to head for the Farm under Brian Kudron's tenure.

Pulling away in Pullman
Cougars put a scare in Stanford prior to 42-point run

PULLMAN, WA - The Cougars of Washington State are in the midst of the darkest period any Pac-12 team has ever had; it's been over five years since they won a conference game.

So for them to jump out to a 21-0 lead against powerful Stanford was more than just a little surprising.

But what happened after that wasn't. Stanford erased the deficit in a little over six minutes, and after Wazzu inched out a 24-21 lead in the third, Shane Williams took it from there, and the Cardinal ripped off six touchdowns in a row, turning a 21-0 deficit into a 63-24 laugher.

Williams' star continued to bloom as he threw for 560 yards and five touchdowns while running for two more. When it was all over, his coach was a bit flabbergasted.

"Well, I mean...we certainly need to start on time," Brian Kudron said. "Our attitude at the start of the game was terrible. We took our opponent for granted, we got too cocky and full of ourselves and reading our press clippings, and they punched us in the mouth for it. And we deserved it. Lucky for us, our guys got the message and found their focus. We've got a bye week coming up, and then the biggest test of our season, so we've got two weeks to erase whatever that was at the start of the day."

That biggest test he's talking about is top-ranked Oregon coming to the Farm on November 7th. Assuming the Ducks don't trip up beforehand, it should be the fifth time in five years under Coach Kudron that Stanford and Oregon will both be in the top 10 when they play.

Parker plots a course for Palo Alto

October 27, 2015

Stanford had set its sights on Hyattsville (MD) DeMatha star Carl Johnson as its primary offensive line target in the 2016 class, but when Johnson abruptly committed to Florida State amidst rumors that he didn't pass through Stanford's admissions office, plans had to change.

Thankfully, Stanford didn't have to wait long nor travel far to find a more than suitable replacement. Outside the DMV, a couple hundred miles to the south, Virginia Beach (VA) Bayside offensive tackle Jeremy Parker, the 12th-ranked offensive tackle in the nation, has pledged his services to the Cardinal, making him the third member of Stanford's 2016 crop.

"It wasn't an easy decision, because I always thought I'd be staying closer to home for school," the 6'6, 320-pound Parker said. "But when a school as prestigious as Stanford comes calling, you have to re-evaluate your priorities. I really bonded with Coach Kudron, and aside from selling me on Stanford's academics and their offensive line play, he made me feel at home, which put me and my family at ease about me going so far away for college. So once I got word that I was admitted, that was the clincher, and I committed as soon as I heard."

Parker's commitment stems the tide of sour news regarding offensive line recruiting for Stanford. Aside from Johnson's sudden pledge to Florida State, several other notable Stanford targets recently fell off the board: 4* Libertyville (IL) guard Billy Powers committed to South Carolina, 4* Indian Hills (NV) guard Terrance Green committed to USC, 3* Zion (IL) Zion Benton tackle/guard Shaun Means committed to Northwestern, and 3* Sugar Land (TX) Dulles center Greg Newton opted to stay close to home at the University of Houston. These setbacks may lead to an offer going out to Darren Johnson of Mountain View High School in Vancouver, Washington.

The three wins have all come in heart-stopping fashion, from a last minute touchdown in 2011, an overtime win in 2013, and the famous Gary Harris touchdown on the final play of the game in the snowstorm at Autzen last year. Two of the three wins (2011 and 2014) have been #1 vs. #2 matchups. This year's edition is "only" the 2nd ranked Ducks trying to break #6 Stanford's 40 game winning streak on The Farm. The Ducks are quarterbacked by fifth year senior Marcus Mariota, who has done a decent job protecting the ball (16 touchdowns to 7 interceptions). He's also a solid runner, averaging 5.7 yards a carry while racking up 494 yards, third on the team behind the two junior running backs who share the workload, Steve Fletcher (702 yards, 6.6 YPC, 7 TDs) and Barry Brooks (555, 6.0, 5). At wideout, the Ducks have an abundance of talent: Tacoi Sumler is perhaps the fastest player in the nation, while sophomores Travis Matthews and Tim Brooks are big, physical targets. Senior tight end Christian French is the #1 target though; it's a testament to Kevin Jackson and Marcus Davenport that French is perhaps the third best tight end in this game. Oregon's leading receiver has 423 yards and six touchdowns, while averaging 16.9 yards per catch. On defense, Oregon's line is unremarkable but reliable. The playmaking comes from the linebackers, where junior SAM George Barrett has 50 tackles, 17 TFL, and five sacks, and senior WILL Tyson Coleman has four sacks of his own thanks to his safety-like speed. In the middle, junior Lamar Harvey is one of the hardest hitters in the conference. In the secondary, the Ducks have an elite trio of cornerbacks, led by Thorpe semifinalist Courtney Weber, who leads the Pac-12 with six interceptions and is a projected first round pick. Senior Ifo Ekpre-Olomu and sophomore Eric Morales round out the trio; all three have elite cover skills and would be the #1 corner on almost any other team in the Pac-12. The Ducks are younger at safety: junior Terrance Warren is in his first year starting, and free safety Willie Gibson, while being immensely talented, is a true freshman.
