Stanford football loses to TCU
in season opener

By Cayden Gu

In the team’s first game as a member of the ACC, Stanford football (0-1) lost 27-34 to the TCU Horned Frogs (1-0) last Friday. Despite taking an early lead and forcing three fumbles, Stanford fell to a high-powered offense, exemplified by TCU quarterback John Hoover’s 353-yard and 2-touchdown performance. 

Stanford will look to pick up its first home victory in two years on Saturday in a game against the Cal Poly Mustangs.
