That marked their third consecutive three-win season.
Except for the COVID season in 2020, Stanford has not produced a winning season since 2018, when they went 9-4.

Taylor knows it will be a rebuilding process for the program but is confident this team will be improved compared to the one we saw a season ago.
Ashton Daniels Jr. will be the signal caller for the Cardinal. Daniels threw for 2,247 yards and 11 touchdowns last season.
Miami, Florida native Sedrick Irvin is expected to take over the backfield for Stanford. Irvin ripped off 113 yards and one touchdown last season.
Star wideout Elic Ayomanor returns as the top option in the passing game. The sophomore collected 62 catches worth 1,013 yards and six touchdowns.
Stanford will look to improve on the defensive side of the ball after an up-and-down season in 2023.

Texas native Cam Cook will take over the Horned Frogs' running game. Cook scampered for 58 yards in a small sample size last season.
Senior Savion Williams will be one of the top options in the passing game. Williams racked up 573 yards and four touchdowns last season.
TCU vs. Stanford Betting Picks
Stanford is getting too many points on their home field tonight.
