Two years ago Stanford lost Jim Harbaugh to the NFL. This past year Stanford lost Andrew Luck to the NFL as well. When those two kinds of guys leave any program, there usually are some steps taken backwards. Thanks to Head Coach David Shaw, that hasn't been the case for ...

No Andrew Luck? No problem. The Stanford Cardinal continued their successful run against the Matt Barkley-led USC Trojans -- thought to be one of the top contenders for a national championship -- with a 21-14 victory in Palo Alto on Saturday.
Technically speaking, given the rankings, the victory was an upset ...

Do I understand why Robert Griffin III has emerged as a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate? Yes I do. Do I understand why anybody is justifying Griggin III's emergence by trying to downplay or even disparage what Andrew Luck has done this season? No I don't. That's not universally been the ...

One way that Oklahoma State could have faced LSU in the national championship game was if the Cowboys would have beaten Iowa State. Instead, they lost in double-overtime and had to play the waiting game. The world found out that instead of LSU-Oklahoma State, we'll see an LSU-Alabama rematch in ...

It's hardly out of the ordinary for a college football coach to stump for his standout player who is in the Heisman race. USC's Lane Kiffin is doing a pretty good job of it. Kiffin makes the argument that Trojans quarterback Matt Barkley is being penalized because his team is ...

I wouldn't say that Stanford football coach David Shaw was necessarily stumping for his team here, but he certainly got in a bit of a dig on some of the other teams around the Cardinal in the national rankings. Asked about how Heisman Trophy front-runner Andrew Luck has been playing, ...

USC coach Lane Kiffin didn't mince many words when discussing some of the officiating in Saturday's epic three-overtime battle with Stanford after the game. A few days later, he still isn't happy about it, particularly a penalty called on the Trojans late in regulation and then the final play of ...

Matt Barkley certainly doesn't mind the extra attention. The USC quarterback is used to it by now. He simply thinks it's funny that this weekend's Pac-12 duel between the Trojans and the Stanford Cardinal is being billed as a game between he and Andrew Luck -- a pair of the ...

There aren't a slew of people who would consider coaching Stanford their dream job. The Cardinal are hardly considered a perennial powerhouse -- not in the nation and not even in the Pac-10 ... or 12. And the standards for getting into Stanford make recruiting the country's top athletes difficult.

That headline probably doesn't seem very earth-shattering. Of course Andrew Luck, the quarterback of Stanford, is going to play it cool and say Auburn quarterback Cam Newton deserves the attention that he's getting. But, given the fact that Luck keeps it short and sweet, perhaps that's actually what he truly ...
