Stanford sacks Army
Cardinal defense ramps up the pressure in another blowout winVisiting South Bend to face Notre Dame is always a perilous task, but if the first two games of the season are any indication, Stanford will be a heavy, heavy favorite in northern Indiana next Saturday.
The Cardinal blitzed and stunted and threw everything from every direction against Army on Saturday, accumulating 10 sacks and putting the hammer down on the Black Knights' option offense in a 62-13 drubbing.
Brett Nottingham and Remound Wright were overwhelmingly dominant once again, and Garrett Cason had a surprising outburst in mopup duty in the second half again as well, and may be pushing Kelsey Young for the #2 spot in the backfield.
"Overall I can't help but be pleased with our performance overall," Brian Kudron commented on his team's first two contests. "I think we can still clean some things up defensively, but it's hard to nitpick too much right now. Our guys had a great fall camp, and they've entered the season with the right mentality, and they're playing the right way, and we'll see if they can keep it up next week in South Bend."
