11 • Stanford’s 11 a.m. PT nonconference meeting with UC Davis is the earliest home start time in program history. The Cardinal’s last 11 a.m. local time kickoff came at Northwestern to open the 2015 season.

700 • When the Cardinal and UC Davis last met in 2014, the season-opening victory was the 700th win in program history. It was the first of three straight home games to start that season.

.667 • Stanford leads the series with UC Davis, 2-1 (.667). Stanford won the first meeting, 59-0, on Nov. 12, 1932, against the team known as the California Aggies. It served as a tuneup for the Big Game and was the last victory in the Stanford coaching career of Glenn “Pop” Warner, who went 71-17-8 (.781) from 1924-32. The Hall of Famer coached Stanford to its first two Rose Bowls. However, UC Davis stunned the Cardinal in 2005 with 20 unanswered points in a 20-17 upset at Stanford Stadium.

2005 • The 2005 matchup with the Aggies marked the first time Stanford played a (then) non-Division I-A opponent since the Cardinal beat Cornell, 56-6, in 1991. The Aggies, who were in the third year of a four-year transition from NCAA Division II to Division I, previously had not played a Division I team since a 44-14 loss to Idaho in 1997. UC Davis’ Jon Grant threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Blaise Smith with eight seconds left as the Aggies posted a 20-17 win to spoil Stanford ’ home debut. UC Davis held Stanford to 180 yards, as the Cardinal managed two first-half touchdowns on a pair of fumble recoveries.

2003 • UC Davis visited Stanford Stadium prior to the 2003 campaign for a “scrimmage” in which both teams competed against one another in a game-like setting.

24 • Stanford, which operates on the academic quarter calendar, will have 24 days between its season opener (Aug. 31) and the first day of classes (Sept. 24). The Cardinal will play three home games (vs. San Diego State, vs. USC, vs. UC Davis) before students return to campus for the fall quarter.

1921 • Built in 1921, Stanford Stadium is the eighth-oldest FBS facility. The current configuration includes a renovation completed prior to the 2006 season. The venue has a cozy seating capacity of 50,424, a considerable difference from the 85,000 that existed in what was previously the largest privately owned college football facility in the United States. Stanford Stadium has a long and storied history. In 1928, Herbert Hoover, a former Stanford football student manager, gave his acceptance speech there upon being nominated as the Republican presidential candidate. During the height of the Cold War, track coach Payton Jordan brought the USA-USSR dual meet to Stanford in 1962 in “the greatest track meet of all time.” The stadium was the site of the 1985 Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins. The 1994 World Cup, including a July 4 showdown between the U.S. and Brazil and the 1999 Women’s World Cup semifinal between the U.S. and Brazil took place at Stanford Stadium. Offense

1,000 • Senior wide receivers Trenton Irwin (1,115) and JJ Arcega-Whiteside (1,448) each have over 1,000 career receiving yards.

6 • Arcega-Whiteside had six touchdown receptions over a two-game stretch from the 2017 to the 2018 opener (three vs. TCU, three vs. San Diego State). That tied Ken Margerum for the most receiving touchdowns in consecutive Stanford games, set in 1980 with quarterback John Elway on the delivering end (two at Washington State, four vs. Oregon State).

226 • Arcega-Whiteside’s 226 receiving yards against San Diego State were the third-most in program history. It was the fifth time a Cardinal receiver eclipsed 200 yards receiving.

2 • Arcega-Whiteside has at least two catches in 14 straight games.

5 • Fifth-year senior inside linebacker Bobby Okereke has five or more tackles in 14 of the past 15 games.

94 • Okereke’s 94 tackles last season were tops among Cardinal returners, and the most by any returning player since 2008.

1 • In 2017, senior Bryce Love ranked first among Power 5 running backs in: • Rushing yards - 2,118 • Rushing yards/game - 162.9 • Rushing yards/attempt - 8.05 [FBS record] (min. 215 attempts) • 100-yard rushing games - 12 • 20-yard rushes - 30 • 30-yard rushes - 24 • 40-yard rushes - 15 • 50-yard rushes - 13 [FBS record] • 60-yard rushes - 7 • Consecutive games with a 30-yard rush - 13 [FBS record] • Consecutive games with a 50-yard rush - 11 (Nov. 26, 2016 - Nov. 4, 2017) [FBS record] • Consecutive games with a touchdown - 12 (Nov. 26, 2016 - Nov. 18, 2017) • Consecutive games with a rushing touchdown - 11 (Aug. 26 - Nov. 18, 2017)

3,292 • Love ranks third nationally among active players with 3,292 yards rushing.

Only one other player who reached 2,000 yards in a season and was eligible for the NFL draft decided to stay in school – Northwestern’s Damien Anderson following the 2000 season. Christian McCaffrey in 2015 and Iowa State’s Troy Davis in 1995 both rushed for 2,000 yards and returned, but were not draft-eligible. Davis is the only player to appear twice on the NCAA’s official list of 2,000-yard rushing seasons in the FBS.

4 • Only four players have gone from runner-up one year to winner the next: Herschel Walker (1982), O.J. Simpson (1968) Glenn Davis (1946) and Tom Harmon (1940).

3 • With Love returning to The Farm for 2018, the past three runner-ups that returned to school the following season all attended Stanford -- Christian McCaffrey in 2016 and Andrew Luck in 2011 ( both ended up as top-8 picks in the NFL Draft). Love joins Toby Gerhart, Luck and McCaffrey as Stanford’s Heisman finalists since 2009 – his 2017 finalist nod marked the second time a Cardinal teammate from the same backfield of a previous finalist earned the recognition (Gerhart and Luck played together in 2009, Love and McCaffrey were on the same team in 2015 and 2016).

50 • Love recorded a rushing touchdown of 50 or more yards 11 times in 2017. Over the past five seasons, only one team had that many 50-yard rushing touchdowns in a season (New Mexico had 11 in 2016).

5.71 • After injuring his ankle last season on Oct. 14, Love averaged 5.71 yards/rush. That’s a better rushing average than 118 of the 130 FBS programs. During that stretch, five of Stanford’s six games were against teams ranked by the AP.

40 • Love is averaging over 40 yards/scoring play during his career: 93-yard catch, 47-yard run, 48-yard run, 7-yard run, 56-yard run, 50-yard run, 49-yard catch, 10-yard run, 75-yard run, 51-yard run, 53-yard run, 69-yard run, 61-yard run, 43-yard run, 59-yard run, 68-yard run, 5-yard run, 67-yard run, 52-yard run, 1-yard run, 13-yard run, 9-yard run, 57-yard run, 9-yard run, 15-yard run, 69-yard run, 9-yard run.

30 • In 2017, Love had a rush of at least 30 yards in each game: 62 vs. Rice, 75 vs. USC, 53 vs. San Diego State, 69 vs. UCLA, 61 vs. Arizona State, 68 vs. Utah, 67 vs. Oregon, 52 vs. Washington State, 35 vs. Washington, 57 vs. Cal, 31 vs. Notre Dame, 52 vs. USC, 69 vs. TCU.

24 • Love had 24 rushes that gained at least 30 yards in 2017. Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon (21) is the only other player in the past eight seasons to have more than 16 in a season.

1,405 • Love had 1,405 yards gained on breakaway runs (15 yards or more) in 2017, the most among any returning FBS running back.

4.28 • Love averaged 4.28 yards after contact/attempt in 2017, the most of any returning Pac-12 running back.

301 • Love’s 301 yards rushing against Arizona State (Sept. 30) in 2017 were the most by any Cardinal, eclipsing Christian McCaffrey’s school-record 284 at Cal in 2016. Love broke 12 tackles and notched 175 yards after contact against the Sun Devils. The 301 yards was the eighth-best single-game total in Pac-12 history.

1,088 • Through 2017’s first five games, Love’s 1,088 rushing yards were the fourth-most by any player in FBS history -- Garrett Wolfe (1,181 in 2006), Marcus Allen (1,136 in 1981), Byron Hanspard (1,112 in 1996).
