STANFORD, Calif. (AP) – Any doubts David Shaw had about how his young Stanford team would respond to last week’s stunning 17-13 loss at Washington ended 48 hours later.
While coaches held a meeting to discuss recruiting, the short run players go for two nights after every game took on a different tone. Word spread back to Shaw that players were particularly “fired up, jacked up, excited about it and got after it.”
The real test of that resolve will come Saturday when No. 18 Stanford (3-1, 1-1 Pac-12) holds its homecoming game against Arizona (3-2, 0-2), a program remodeled under new coach Rich Rodriguez that is facing an equally critical tilt in its season after two straight losses.
