Overview

  • The pivotal sequence came on a late third‑quarter 4th‑and‑goal stop when Clay Patterson forced a Turbo Richard fumble that Jay Green recovered, and Micah Ford followed with a 75‑yard run and 5‑yard score for a 27-20 lead.
  • Ford finished with a career‑high 157 yards on 17 carries, and Stanford closed the game with a 12‑play rushing drive that drained the final 7:36.
  • Ben Gulbranson completed 13 of 22 passes for 186 yards, including his first touchdown of the season on a 69‑yard strike to Sam Roush.
  • Collin Wright returned an interception 19 yards for a touchdown as Stanford converted Boston College mistakes into points, and Emmett Kenney made three field goals.
  • Stanford improved to 1-2 overall and 1-0 in the ACC, Boston College's Dylan Lonergan threw for 333 yards, and Stanford left guard Nick Fattig exited with a leg injury on an already thin line.
