It’s the season opener for the Stanford Cardinal and they get a chance to show that last season was just aberration in their recent resurgence.
Senior Kevin Hogan is in the glamour position at QB for the Cardinal and will get to show off his arm against a Northwestern team trying to get back into the national picture after two consecutive 5-7 seasons.
Clayton Thorson gets his shot to lead the Wildcats at quarterback as a redshirt freshman and his name alone is awesome enough to make that decision make sense.
The game is on ESPN at noon.
