10/26/22 - Casey Filkins, Sr/2024, Stanford + More +

For the second time this season, Stanford must do without its leading rusher. First, it was E.J. Smith. This time, it's Casey Filkins. Head coach David Shaw announced Tuesday that Filkins "will be out a significant portion" of the season, "if not the rest of the year." Filkins has run for 478 yards on 122 carries (3.9 average). The junior suffered an arm injury at the end of a 23-yard run late in the third quarter of the Cardinal's 15-14 win over Arizona State on Saturday. The Sun Devils' Khoury Bethley was flagged for a late hit out of bounds on the play. Smith rushed for 206 yards in two games before he was sidelined for the rest of the season with an undisclosed injury. Though Stanford now is down its top two running backs, Shaw expressed optimism that the Cardinal can overcome those losses. - San Francisco Chronicle

10/22/22 - Joshua Karty, rJr/2024, Stanford + More +

Joshua Karty kicked five field goals, lifting Stanford to a come-from-behind, 15-14 win over Arizona State on Saturday afternoon. Karty's five field goals tied the all-time single-game record for the Cardinal (3-4, 1-4 Pac-12), who snapped a school-record 10-game conference losing streak. Stanford had not won a game against a Pac-12 opponent since it beat Oregon 31-24 on Oct. 2, 2021. The decisive field goal came with 6:28 remaining in the fourth quarter. Karty converted from 47 yards, matching his second-longest attempt of the season. Named the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week twice in the last three games, Karty has not missed a kick this season, making all 12 of his field goal attempts. The Sun Devils (2-5, 1-3) have not won at Stanford Stadium since 2007, dropping four straight on the road to the Cardinal in that span.

Arizona State's Emory Jones was 15 of 25 passing but Stanford's pass defense, which entered Saturday ranked second in the conference surrendering 212.3 yards per game, held Arizona State to 227 receiving yards. The Sun Devils led 14-6 after Elijhah Badger caught a 39-yard touchdown pass a minute into the second quarter. Badger made six catches for a career-best 118 yards. Stanford had not allowed its opponent to score in the first quarter in its last two games against Oregon State and Notre Dame. But the Sun Devils ended the streak when Xazavian Valladay running for a 15-yard touchdown. Stanford quarterback Tanner McKee, who completed 33 of his 57 attempted passes for 320 yards, has been held without a touchdown in back-to-back games after recording multiple in each of Stanford's first five games. - Stanford/AP College Football

10/16/22 - *Tanner McKee, Jr/2023, Stanford + More +

Tanner McKee passed for 288 yards, Casey Filkins scored a touchdown and Joshua Karty kicked three field goals as Stanford ended an 11-game losing streak against FBS opponents, beating Notre Dame 16-14 on Saturday night. The Cardinal (2-4), who blew a two-touchdown lead against Oregon State a week earlier, put the game away when Stanford safety Jonathan McGill broke up a pass by Drew Pyne on fourth-and-7 from the Notre Dame 25-yard line with 1:04 left. It was Stanford's first win against an FBS opponent since beating then-No. 3 Oregon 31-24 in overtime on Oct. 2, 2021. After the game, the Cardinal ran to the end of the field where their fans were and celebrated. It's the second embarrassing home loss of the season for the Irish (3-3). The Irish were beaten 26-21 by Marshall in the second game of the season, but had won three straight since. The Irish offense couldn't get much going against a Stanford defense that entered the game 111th in scoring defense, giving up 32.6 points a game.

Notre Dame scored touchdowns on back-to-back possessions in the second half, but fumbled the ball away on their next possession. Stanford scored its lone touchdown on its first possession, driving 66 yards in eight plays, capped by a 2-yard run by Filkins. Karty then kicked field goals of 45, 43 and 43 yards. McKee was 26-of-38 passing for 288 yards and the Cardinal had a 385 yards to 311 yards advantage in total offense. Pyne was 13-of-27 passing for 151 yards for the Irish with a fumble. He threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Tobias Merriweather and Audric Estime had a 10-yard scoring run as Notre Dame overcame a 13-0 deficit to take a 14-13 lead, but couldn't hold on. It appeared the Irish might have a short field to work with when officials ruled McKee had fumbled, but the call was overturned when replay showed his knee was down. The Cardinal took a 16-14 lead on a 43-yard field goal by Karty with 10:20 left. The Irish were driving on their next possession, but Estime fumbled at the Stanford 25-yard line on a hit by Kendall Williamson and Jonathan McGill recovered at the 21. - Stanford/AP College Football

TRACKING TOP DRAFT PROSPECTS - WEEK 2: 12. Tanner McKee, Jr, QB, Stanford, 6-5, 230, 1,...Faced with an athletic and aggressive USC defense, Tanner McKee actually looked better than the numbers on the stats sheet -- 20 of 35 for 220 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. His first interception was tipped at the line and on the second his receiver lost a jump-ball in the end zone. McKee ran eight times, not always by choice, for minus 15 yards. Previous week, No. 14: McKee threw two touchdown passes to Michael Wilson and Stanford routed FCS Colgate 41-10 in a season opener. McKee completed 22 of 27 for 308 yards, the two touchdowns and one interception. - Frank Cooney/NFL Draft Scout

Stanford coach David Shaw spends part of his offseason each year studying up for his side gig as a draft analyst so he knows very well what NFL teams are looking for in a quarterback. When the Cardinal (1-0) host No. 10 Southern California (1-0) on Saturday in the Pac-12 opener this season, Shaw sees a pair of potential NFL prospects in the Trojans' dynamic dual-threat quarterback Caleb Williams and his own more traditional passer, Tanner McKee. "I don't know that these aren't the top two quarterbacks in our conference going head to head," Shaw said. "As pure passers, they're both exceptional. As a runner, Tanner is underappreciated but at the same time Caleb is special there. You're talking about two guys, when you watch them play, you're looking at two NFL quarterbacks. It will be fun to watch." Williams was outstanding in his debut for the Trojans after following coach Lincoln Riley from Oklahoma to USC as a transfer this offseason.

Williams completed 19 of 22 passes against Rice for 249 yards and two TDs. He also ran for 68 yards on six carries. "He's a special kid and he can do it all," Riley said. "He can literally do it all. He can pass, he can paint your back porch, he can walk your dog, and he can run the ball. He's a great player." McKee was also sharp last week against lesser competition, going 22 for 37 for 308 yards and two TDs against FCS-level Colgate. McKee made his first career start last year against the Trojans when he threw for 234 yards and two TDs in a 42-28 win at the Los Angeles Coliseum, where he used to go as a kid cheering for USC. - AP College Football
