"I'll remember a lot of things about this year, but these last two weeks and this game tonight will certainly stick with me for a long time, interim coach Frank Reich said. Just seeing and feeling what it means to the players the coaches, really everybody connected with Stanford football, former football players, alumni, like just proud of this team, proud of getting the Stanford Axe back where it belongs. Look forward to this team making a habit of keeping it here."
"The Cardinal (4-7, 3-5 ACC) only had 71 yards of offense in the first half but led 14-10 thanks to two scoop-and-scores in the second quarter. Omar Staples forced a fumble by Cal's top receiver, Jacob De Jesus, that was recovered by Jay Green and returned 49 yards. Then Jahsiah Galvan forced a fumble by Cal's top running back, Kendrick Raphael, that was returned 17 yards by Darrius Davis."
"The Cardinal recorded a season-high five sacks and held Cal without a first down for the entire third quarter. The Golden Bears (6-5, 3-4) finished with 296 yards, their fewest in a Big Game since 2012. We saw a lot of trick plays in the first 15 plays, a lot of misdirection, a lot of things we just hadn't seen on film, Galvan said."
Stanford defeated Cal 31-10 at Stanford Stadium, breaking a four-game losing streak and securing its first home victory over the Golden Bears since 2017. The Cardinal improved to 4-7 (3-5 ACC) while Cal fell to 6-5 (3-4). Micah Ford rushed for 150 yards. Stanford's defense produced two scoop-and-score touchdowns after forced fumbles by Omar Staples and Jahsiah Galvan, with returns by Jay Green and Darrius Davis. The defense also recorded a season-high five sacks and held Cal without a first down in the third quarter, limiting Cal to 296 yards. Interim coach Frank Reich celebrated returning the Stanford Axe.
