The matchup marks a critical early-season game with all other conference schools still playing non-league games this week. 4 Saturday marks the fourth time in the past five years that Stanford and USC will meet in the season s second week. Stanford is 4-4 in Pac-12 openers against the Trojans. 98 Friday s meeting will be the 98th between Stanford and USC. In a series that dates to 1905, the Trojans lead, 62-32-3. Stanford does not count the 1918 contest won by the Trojans in its series scores, as it was played as part of an unofficial schedule by the Student Army Training Corps Team. 1936 Since the AP poll debuted in 1936, Stanford and USC have met 81 times. In 55 of those games, at least one team has been ranked. This game has featured a ranked team every season since 2001. In seven of the past 11 matchups, both teams have been ranked. 35 Stanford had never scored more than 35 points in its first 86 meetings with USC, but eclipsed the 35-point mark in 2009 (55), 2010 (37), 2011 (56), and twice in 2015 (41, 41). 41 Andrew Luck Director of Offensive and Kevin M. Hogan Quarterbacks Coach Tavita Pritchard engineered one of the biggest upsets in college football history on Oct. 6, 2007, against No. 2 USC in the Los Angeles Coliseum. Making his first career start, Pritchard threw a 10-yard touchdown pass on fourth down to wide receiver Mark Bradford with 49 seconds remaining to lift the Cardinal to a 24-23 victory. The Trojans were favored by 41 points. 7 Stanford has won seven of its past 10 contests against USC, the best 10-game stretch for the Cardinal in series history. Seven of the past 12 meetings between Stanford and USC have been decided by eight points or less. 1 Head coach David Shaw has a family tie to the USC football program -- he is the nephew of former USC All-America cornerback (1964-66) and assistant coach (1980-86) Nate Shaw. 2 Tight ends coach Morgan Turner has a pair of family ties to the USC football program -- father, Ron, was a USC assistant coach from 1985-87, and uncle, Norv, was an assistant from 1976-84. 4 Safety Frank Buncom, the fourth of his name, is the grandson of former USC left tackle Frank Buncom (1960-61). 2 Two of three St. Brown brothers will be on the field Saturday -- Stanford wide receiver, Osiris, and USC wide receiver, Amon-Ra. The oldest St. Brown brother, Equanimeous, currently plays for the Green Bay Packers. 74 Head coach David Shaw has 74 career wins, the most in Stanford history. 86 Stanford s 86 wins this decade rank fourth nationally and the most of any private school, ahead of TCU (76), USC (74) and Notre Dame (70). 8 Stanford has won at least eight games for a school-record nine straight years..827 Stanford is 24-5 (.827) against in-state opponents under head coach David Shaw..825 Stanford is 52-11 (.825) in games played on California soil under head coach David Shaw. Four of those losses came at the hands of USC. 20 Under head coach David Shaw since 2011, Stanford is 20-4 against USC, UCLA and Cal. In the six seasons before Shaw: 7-11. 24 Stanford, which operates on the academic quarter calendar, will have 24 days between its season opener (Aug. 31) and the first day of classes (Sept. 24). The Cardinal will play three home games (vs. San Diego State, vs. USC, vs. UC Davis) before students return to campus for the fall quarter. 1921 Built in 1921, Stanford Stadium is the eighth-oldest FBS facility. The current configuration includes a renovation completed prior to the 2006 season. The venue has a cozy seating capacity of 50,424, a considerable difference from the 85,000 that existed in what was previously the largest privately owned college football facility in the United States. Stanford Stadium has a long and storied history. In 1928, Herbert Hoover, a former Stanford football student manager, gave his acceptance speech there upon being nominated as the Republican presidential candidate. During the height of the Cold War, track coach Payton Jordan brought the USA-USSR dual meet to Stanford in 1962 in the greatest track meet of all time. The stadium was the site of the 1985 Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins. The 1994 World Cup, including a July 4 showdown between the U.S. and Brazil and the 1999 Women s World Cup semifinal between the U.S. and Brazil took place at Stanford Stadium.

Jim Plunkett completed 19 of 31 passes for 275 yards and one touchdown and Stanford s defense turned back the Trojans twice on goal line stands. 1973 Rod Garcia set a Stanford and Pac-8 record by booting a 59-yard field goal in the first quarter. However, Chris Limahelu s 34-yard field goal with 0:34 left lifted the eighth-ranked Trojans to a 27-26 victory at the Coliseum. 1979 After trailing at halftime, 21-0, Stanford rallied to score 14 points in the fourth quarter to tie top-ranked USC, 21-21, at the Coliseum. It was the only blemish on USC s record, as the Trojans would finish the season ranked second in both wire service polls behind national champion Alabama. 1982 John Elway completed 27 of 41 passes for 239 yards and broke Jim Plunkett s NCAA record with his 26th career 200-yard passing game. Elway s record-setting performance was not enough, as USC came away with a 41-21 victory at Stanford Stadium. 1991 Stanford defeated USC, 24-21, at the Coliseum, marking the Cardinal s first victory over the Trojans since 1975. 1992 Steve Stenstrom completed 23 of 39 passes for 273 yards and Stanford s defense limited 11th-ranked USC to 59 rushing yards in a 23-9 victory at Stanford Stadium. 1997 Troy Walters caught 11 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns despite a 45-21 Cardinal loss decision at the Coliseum. Walters also returned a punt 66 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter. 1999 Stanford rallied from a 21-0 first-quarter deficit in Los Angeles as Todd Husak threw for two touchdowns and rushed for the game-winning score in a 35-31 victory. Tim Smith made a game-saving interception at the seven-yard line on the final play, as the Cardinal went on to win the Pac-10 title and earn a Rose Bowl appearance for the first time in nearly three decades. 2000 After coming off the bench to replace an injured Randy Fasani, Chris Lewis threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Jamien McCullum as time expired to give Stanford a thrilling 32-30 comeback victory over USC. Kerry Carter tied a single-game record with four rushing touchdowns and DeRonnie Pitts caught 13 passes for 176 yards. 2007 Tavita Pritchard connected with Mark Bradford on a 10-yard touchdown pass on a fourth-and-goal play with 49 seconds remaining to lift Stanford to a 24-23 victory over second-ranked USC at the Coliseum. In his first career start, Pritchard engineered one of the biggest upsets in college football history against a USC unit favored by 41 points. 2009 Toby Gerhart rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns to lead Stanford to a 55-21 victory over No. 11 USC at the Coliseum. The 55 points were the most ever scored against USC, as the Cardinal handed the Trojans their worst home loss since 1966. 2010 Nate Whitaker kicked a 30-yard field goal as time expired to lift Stanford to a 37-35 victory over USC at Stanford Stadium. 2011 In one of the most dramatic finishes in the long rivalry, sixth-ranked Stanford defeated No. 20 USC in triple-overtime, 56-48, before a sellout crowd of 93,607 at the Los Angeles Coliseum to extend the nation s longest winning streak to 16 games. Cardinal linebacker A.J. Tarpley sealed the victory by recovering a Curtis McNeal fumble in the end zone in the longest game in Stanford history. Andrew Luck hit 29 of 40 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns, and also ran nine times for 36 yards. 2012 Josh Nunes threw a go-ahead 37-yard touchdown to Zach Ertz, Stepfan Taylor ran for 153 yards and scored two touchdowns, and No. 21 Stanford upset second-ranked USC, 21-14, for its fourth straight win in the series. Nunes scampered 12 yards on a third-and-10 from midfield in the fourth and then delivered the strike to Ertz, who juked a defender and dove into the end zone to give Stanford a 21-14 lead. The Cardinal outgained the Trojans 417 to 280 in total yards and held USC to only 26 yards rushing. 2013 One week after downing No. 2 Oregon at Stanford Stadium and emerging into the national championship discussion, the Cardinal fell to USC, 20-17, at the Coliseum as Andre Heidari kicked a 47-yard field goal with 19 seconds to play. Stanford s season-low point total got a boost from Tyler Gaffney, who rushed for 158 yards and two touchdowns. Stanford tied it at 17-17 with Gaffney s 18-yard touchdown run on the first drive of the third quarter, but couldn t score on six drives in the final 23 minutes. 2014 Andre Heidari kicked a career-long 53-yard field goal with 2:30 remaining, J.R. Tavai forced a fumble to end the Cardinal s comeback bid and the 14th-ranked Trojans upended No. 13 Stanford, 13-10, in dramatic fashion at Stanford Stadium. Stanford outgained USC in total yards, 413-291, but was held to 10 points on nine drives inside the USC 35-yard line. 2015 Stanford twice beat USC in 2015. In the regular season meeting, Kevin Hogan passed for 279 yards and two touchdowns, Remound Wright rushed for three more scores and Stanford opened Pac-12 play with a 41-31 victory over No. 6 USC, snapping the Trojans two-game winning streak in the lively in-state rivalry. USC led in the second quarter, 21-10, but Stanford scored twice in the final 3:53 of the first half and never looked back. Christian McCaffrey did it all in a record-setting performance as Stanford advanced to a third Rose Bowl in four years with a win over USC in the Pac-12 Championship Game. McCaffrey ran for 207 yards and a score, threw a touchdown pass, caught another and broke Barry Sanders single-season all-purpose yards record. Hogan caught the touchdown pass from McCaffrey, threw one and ran for a third and Solomon Thomas scored on a 34-yard fumble return for the Cardinal. McCaffrey added 105 yards receiving and 149 return yards to give him a Stanford record 461 all-purpose yards for the game and 3,496 for the season. That broke Sanders single-season record of 3,250 yards set in 1988. 2016 Christian McCaffrey slipped out of the backfield for a 56-yard touchdown reception and dived over the pile for a 1-yard score as the seventh-ranked Cardinal beat USC, 27-10. The win for the Cardinal was the seventh in nine games against the Trojans, the best nine-game stretch for the Cardinal in the history of a rivalry. McCaffrey had a routine 260 all-purpose yards. Stanford ran it 48 times for 302 yards, threw 14 passes and held the ball for 34:14. USC fell to 1-2 for the first time since 2001, when the Trojans started 1-4 in Pete Carroll s debut season as coach. 2

The Cardinal also allowed only 17 sacks in 14 games last season, fifthfewest among all Power 5 program. 32:26 At 32:26, Stanford s average time of possession per game since 2011 ranks fifth nationally. The average millennial spends over 32 minutes a day on Instagram. 2,833 Stanford s 2,833 rushing yards in 2017 ranked fourth in program history. 5.902 Stanford s 5.902 rushing yards/attempt in 2017 ranked first in program history. 32.4 Stanford s 32.4 points/game in 2017 ranked eighth in program history. 30 Stanford has averaged 30 or more points in four of head coach David Shaw s nine seasons. 58 Stanford s 58 points scored against UCLA in 2017 was the 19th-highest output in program history. 405 Stanford s 405 rushing yards against UCLA in 2017 was the fourth-highest total in program history. 656 Stanford s 656 total yards against Rice in 2017 were the seventh-most in program history. 2,507 Senior Cameron Scarlett and senior Bryce Love combined for 2,507 rushing yards in 2017, as the top rushing tandem in program history returns for the 2018 campaign. 4 Junior K.J. Costello was the fourth quarterback to start Stanford s season opener in the past four years, following Kevin Hogan (2015), Ryan Burns (2016) and Keller Chryst (2017). 4 Costello s past four games: 60 of 102 passing for 912 yards (8.94 yards/attempt), 13 touchdowns and three interceptions. 332 Costello posted a career-high 332 passing yards against San Diego State.

The streak dates to Stanford s matchup at Oregon State on Oct. 26, 2013. During the streak: Toner 57-57, Conrad Ukropina 108-108, Jordan Williamson 60-60. 117 Junior kicker Jet Toner s 117 points in 2017 ranked fifth on Stanford s single-season scoring list. 21 Toner s 21 field goals made in 2017 were the second-most in program history. Only three returning kickers had more field goals than Toner last season. 1.000 Toner s perfect 1.000 extra-point pct. in 2017 was the 13th in program history. Toner is one of three Cardinal ever with a 1.000 career extra-point pct. 43.9 Senior Jake Bailey s 43.9 career punting average ranks first in program history. Bailey posted the second-best punting season in school history last year, averaging 45.4 yards/punt.

William V. Campbell Trophy candidate Bryce Love 1 In 2017, senior Bryce Love ranked first among Power 5 running backs in: Rushing yards - 2,118 Rushing yards/game - 162.9 Rushing yards/attempt - 8.05 [FBS record] 100-yard rushing games - 12 20-yard rushes - 30 30-yard rushes - 24 40-yard rushes - 15 50-yard rushes - 13 [FBS record] 60-yard rushes - 7 Consecutive games with a 30-yard rush - 13 [FBS record] Consecutive games with a 50-yard rush - 11 (Nov. 26, 2016 - Nov. 4, 2017) [FBS record] Consecutive games with a touchdown - 12 (Nov. 26, 2016 - Nov. 18, 2017) Consecutive games with a rushing touchdown - 11 (Aug. 26 - Nov. 18, 2017) 2,118 Love s 2,118 yards last season were the most for an FBS player who returned to school the following year. Only one other player who reached 2,000 yards in a season and was eligible for the NFL draft decided to stay in school Northwestern s Damien Anderson following the 2000 season. Christian McCaffrey in 2015 and Iowa State s Troy Davis in 1995 both rushed for 2,000 yards and returned, but were not draft-eligible. Davis is the only player to appear twice on the NCAA s official list of 2,000-yard rushing seasons in the FBS. 4 Only four players have gone from runner-up one year to winner the next: Herschel Walker (1982), O.J. Simpson (1968) Glenn Davis (1946) and Tom Harmon (1940). 3 With Love returning to The Farm for 2018, the past three Heisman Trophy runner-ups that returned to school the following season all attended Stanford -- Christian McCaffrey in 2016 and Andrew Luck in 2011 ( both ended up as top-8 picks in the NFL Draft). Love joins Toby Gerhart, Luck and McCaffrey as Stanford s Heisman finalists since 2009 his 2017 finalist nod marked the second time a Cardinal teammate from the same backfield of a previous finalist earned the recognition (Gerhart and Luck played together in 2009, Love and McCaffrey were on the same team in 2015 and 2016). 50 Love recorded a rushing touchdown of 50 or more yards 11 times in 2017. Over the past five seasons, only one team had that many 50-yard rushing touchdowns in a season (New Mexico had 11 in 2016). 5.71 After injuring his ankle last season on Oct. 14, Love averaged 5.71 yards/rush. That s a better rushing average than 118 of the 130 FBS programs. During that stretch, five of Stanford s six games were against teams ranked by the AP. 40 Love is averaging over 40 yards/scoring play during his career: 93-yard catch, 47-yard run, 48-yard run, 7-yard run, 56-yard run, 50-yard run, 49-yard catch, 10-yard run, 75-yard run, 51-yard run, 53-yard run, 69-yard run, 61-yard run, 43-yard run, 59-yard run, 68-yard run, 5-yard run, 67-yard run, 52-yard run, 1-yard run, 13-yard run, 9-yard run, 57-yard run, 9-yard run, 15-yard run, 69-yard run. 30 In 2017, Love had a rush of at least 30 yards in each game: 62 vs. Rice, 75 vs. USC, 53 vs. San Diego State, 69 vs. UCLA, 61 vs. Arizona State, 68 vs. Utah, 67 vs. Oregon, 52 vs. Washington State, 35 vs. Washington, 57 vs. Cal, 31 vs. Notre Dame, 52 vs. USC, 69 vs. TCU. 24 Love had 24 rushes that gained at least 30 yards in 2017. Wisconsin s Melvin Gordon (21) is the only other player in the past eight seasons to have more than 16 in a season. 301 Love s 301 yards rushing against Arizona State (Sept. 30) in 2017 were the most by any Cardinal, eclipsing Christian McCaffrey s school-record 284 at Cal in 2016. Love broke 12 tackles and notched 175 yards after contact against the Sun Devils. The 301 yards was the eighth-best single-game total in Pac-12 history. 1,088 Through 2017 s first five games, Love s 1,088 rushing yards were the fourth-most by any player in FBS history -- Garrett Wolfe (1,181 in 2006), Marcus Allen (1,136 in 1981), Byron Hanspard (1,112 in 1996). 5
