STANFORD 64 – Santa Clara 17 Referee: Sam Reagle
After 2 inches of rain fell in Sacramento over the last 36 hours, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I drove the 100 miles down to Stanford Sunday morning, but I was pleasantly surprised. Steuber Field was damp, but beautifully green and fairly fast with the temperature around 70F.
The SCUTS took the early lead with strong running and sharp passes to score 2 tries in the first 12 minutes of the game. Stanford’s best attack during this time ended with a knock-on just inches from the try line. After conceding the second try, the Cardinal found their groove and began to run around and over their opponents, scoring 5 unanswered tries by halftime and 10 on the day. SC played fast and smart, but had no answer for the Cardinal center, Steven Brown who devastated the SC defense time and again. He’s new this year, but I doubt that this is the last time we hear of him.
