No longer starter, Stanford QB Josh Nunes still pitching in, helping Kevin Hogan

By: Antonio Gonzalez 11/28/12 5:49 PM
At the beginning of August, the story of how Josh Nunes ascended to Stanford’s starting quarterback job seemed to be something out of a Hollywood movie: His father spontaneously bought him a Cardinal cap at 8 years old, he fell in love with the team and developed into a sought-after recruit who spurned schools across the country for a chance to live out his dream. This season’s script took another twist. Read More

Stanford freshman QB Hogan will likely be challenged vs. Oregon State

By: The Sports Xchange 11/08/12 9:07 PM
Kevin Hogan’s performance against Colorado was impressive and encouraging, but what he does in Saturday’s game against Oregon State at Stanford Stadium will be far more indicative of his current capabilities and much more significant for No. 13 Stanford. It’s one thing to lead scoring drives on your first six possessions (including five for touchdowns) while going 18-for-23 against a Colorado team that is 1-8. Read More

Stanford finds an answer at QB in Kevin Hogan

By: The Sports Xchange 11/04/12 8:05 PM
Stanford found an offense and a quarterback in its 48-0 road victory against Colorado on Saturday, and the discovery of the latter is the chief reason the No. 16 Cardinal finally demonstrated an ability to move the ball and score points. Read More

No. 19 Stanford is shuffling QBs, formations more

By: Antonio Gonzalez 10/23/12 10:32 PM
One of the last things that might come to mind when most people think about the Stanford football team is a spread-option formation and a running quarterback. Now times really are changing without Andrew Luck this season. Read More

Stanford faces a step up in competition against Notre Dame

By: The Sports Xchange 10/11/12 8:45 PM
Whether Stanford’s offense and quarterback Josh Nunes have progressed as far as their showing against Arizona would suggest will be tested when the No. 17 Cardinal (4-1) plays No. 7 Notre Dame (5-0) on the road Saturday. Rolling up 617 yards and 54 points at home against Arizona’s mediocre, injury-plagued defense was one thing, but moving the ball successfully and scoring against Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., is an entirely different challenge.

Stanford coach David Shaw stands behind QB

By: Antonio Gonzalez 10/02/12 8:16 PM
There will be no quarterback change at Stanford this week. And if David Shaw had his way, there will be no questions about the quarterback’s job status either. The second-year coach stood behind redshirt junior Josh Nunes on Tuesday, delivering an unprompted and unscripted message at the beginning of his weekly news conference that his struggling quarterback will start for the No. 18 Cardinal (3-1, 1-1 Pac-12) against Arizona (3-2, 0-2) on Saturday.

Cardinals look to keep things rolling

By: SportsDirect 09/26/12 4:49 PM
Andrew Luck and Jim Harbaugh may have moved on to the NFL, but second-year coach David Shaw and No. 9 Stanford haven’t skipped a beat. For the first time since 1970-72, the Cardinal improved to 3-0 for the third straight season with their fourth consecutive victory over then-No. 3 USC on Sept. 15, holding the Trojans to only 26 yards rushing and intercepting Heisman Trophy hopeful quarterback Matt Barkley twice in a thrilling 21-14 victory.

Cal offensive line in for stern test

By: Paul Gackle 09/25/12 8:20 PM
Cal’s battered offensive line will face another test Saturday when it lines up against the revamped Arizona State defense at Memorial Stadium. Through four games, the Sun Devils (3-1) are tied for first in the nation with Tulsa for most tackles for a loss (39). Read More

Stanford's Nunes ready for first road test

By: The Sports Xchange 09/24/12 5:42 PM
Stanford faces its first road game when it plays a nationally televised game against Washington on Thursday. More significantly, it will be the first road game for Stanford quarterback Josh Nunes. Nunes has been efficient, if not spectacular, in the Cardinal’s first three games, including the upset of Southern Cal. His best asset has been his poise, and it remains to be seen whether he can exhibit the same composure in a hostile environment. Read More
