The trip from Stanford’s campus to Sydney’s Allianz Stadium, where the Cardinal opened the season against Rice, spanned 14,864 miles. A mere 642 round-trip miles separated Stanford Stadium from the Los Angeles Coliseum, and 858 from San Diego Stadium. 2,085 • Of the 44,073 applicants -- the largest application pool in school history -- for Stanford’s class of 2021, only 2,085 were admitted. The admitted students came from all 50 states and 82 countries. 2013 • In the regular season matchup against Arizona State, Tyler Gaffney ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns, Anthony Wilkerson added 68 yards and another score, and No. 5 Stanford started strong and struggled late in a 42-28 victory over the 23rd-ranked Sun Devils. Stanford led 29-0 at halftime and 39-7 through three quarters. The Cardinal scored twice in the air and three times on the ground, forced two interceptions, blocked two punts, tallied 10 tackles for loss and recorded three sacks. Later in the season, Gaffney ripped off 138 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, including a 69- yard scamper on the game’s third play from scrimmage, sending Stanford to a fourth straight BCS bowl game after a 38-14 win at Arizona State in the Pac-12 title game. Kevin Hogan threw for 102 yards during a 99-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. 2009 • Andrew Luck completed 17 of 28 passes for 236 yards while Toby Gerhart rushed for 127 yards on 25 carries to pace Stanford to a 33-14 victory, ending the Sun Devils four-game winning streak in the series. Stanford collected 473 yards of offense and held Arizona State to 290 yards. 2005 • Mark Bradford caught nine passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns during a 45-35 win for the Cardinal in Stanford Stadium. The receiving performance was the 10th-best in school history. 1994 • Damon Dunn returned a second-quarter kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to become the second player in school history to cart a kickoff 100 yards for a score, joining Bob Bryan, who accomplished the feat against USF in 1950. At the end of the day, Jon Baker’s 38-yard field goal with 0:06 remaining gave Arizona State a 36-35 victory. 1981 • In one of the of the greatest offensive shootouts in program history, Stanford rolled up a school-record 693 yards in total offense, but dropped a wild one, 62-36, to the Sun Devils at Stanford Stadium.

Backup Steve Cottrell came off the bench to complete 21 passes for 311 yards. Darrin Nelson set a Stanford record for receiving yardage with 237 on nine catches. 1972 • From the “on this date” folder -- Stanford’s Sept. 30 win over West Virginia in 1972 featured some incredible nuggets. Highlights from the 41-35 victory over the Mountaineers at Stanford Stadium: • 2,284 - Season passing yards for Stanford’s Mike Boryla, the Pac-8 leader in that category. • 486 - Net yards in total offense for Stanford. • 159 - Seconds into the game that Stanford scored its first touchdown, on a 9-yard John Winesberry sweep. • 113 - Seconds left when West Virginia cut the deficit to 41-35 after a 9-yard pass to Brian Chiles, but the Mountaineers’ onside kick was recovered by Stanford’s Bill Wiley. • 96 - Distance on a kickoff return by Artie Owens on a reverse to set up West Virginia’s first touchdown. • 18 - NFL titles won as a player or coach by members of Stanford’s 1972 coaching staff. • 7 - Touchdowns in the second half by both teams. • 3 - Touchdowns scored by Stanford’s John Winesberry, who rushed for 135 yards on 29 carries. • 2 - Future national championships won by West Virginia coach Bobby Bowden, who left for Florida State in 1976. 1921 • Built in 1921, Stanford Stadium is the eighth-oldest FBS facility.
