Welcome to The Daily’s live blog of Friday’s Stanford-UCLA game, featuring Stanford (6-5, 4-4 Pac-12) and hosts UCLA (9-2, 6-2). The Cardinal are hoping to close out their season with a big upset victory in the Rose Bowl after cruising by California in the 117th Big Game last week. Stanford achieved minimum expectations (in its new era of excellence) by securing bowl eligibility against Cal, but although all the Card have left to play for is pride, pride is a powerful motivator. Stay tuned to our live blog here all afternoon and follow us on Twitter @StanfordSports for live updates and analysis.
