"When Stanford lost its first two games, interim coach Frank Reich told the players to wash away the stench of the loss in the post-game shower and come into the next week with the mentality of starting 1-0. After the Cardinal won its home and ACC opener last Saturday against Boston College, Reich had the same message don't let the result impact the way you prepare for the next game."
"It's human nature to let up, senior tight end Sam Roush said. But we have to make sure that we're attacking this week the same way we've been doing it. Stanford (1-2, 1-0) looks to win back-to-back games against FBS opponents for the first time since 2022 when it plays at Virginia (2-1, 0-0) on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. on the ACC Network."
"GET TO THE QB It will be strength on strength when Stanford's pass rush, which is tied for 16th in the FBS with nine sacks, goes up against Virginia's line, which hasn't allowed a sack all season. I think we have really good depth across our front, Reich said. They push each other to get better. Six different players have at least one sack, with Clay Patterson (3) and Hunter Barth (2) leading the team."
Interim coach Frank Reich instructed players to wash away losses and approach each week with a 1-0 mentality, keeping preparation consistent after the Boston College win. Stanford (1-2, 1-0) aims for its first back-to-back FBS wins since 2022 at Virginia (2-1, 0-0) Saturday. Senior tight end Sam Roush warned against letting up and emphasized attacking the week the same way. Junior safety Jay Green said the first two weeks were not the team's best but that the home win provided momentum. Stanford's pass rush ranks tied for 16th nationally with nine sacks, led by Clay Patterson (3) and Hunter Barth (2), and must test a Virginia line that has not allowed a sack all season.
