"Stanford's defense came up with a game-changing play late in the third quarter. On 4th and goal on the Cardinal 1-yard line, Eagles running back Turbo Richard tried to leap the pile at the line of scrimmage, but had the ball knocked loose by defensive lineman Clay Patterson, with safety Jay Green recovering in the end zone. On the ensuing play, Ford darted up the middle for a 75-yard run to the Boston College 5,"
"For the game, the Cardinal scored 21 points off Boston College turnovers to help earn their first win of the season and open the season at home on a badly needed positive note. Gulbranson, a transfer from Oregon State, completed xx of xx passes for xxx yards, and Ford had xxx yards on xx carries. Stanford (1-2, 1-0 ACC) also had two huge plays in the second quarter to take a 20-17 lead."
