Playing without injured starting quarterback Tanner McKee, Stanford struggled offensively in totaling 168 yards overall.

The Cardinal's lone score came from Isaiah Sanders, who rushed for a four-yard touchdown with 10:14 remaining in the third quarter.

Sanders (2-3, 29 yards) and Jack West (12-18, 59 yards) shared quarterback duties in McKee's absence.

E.J. Smith finished with seven carries for 54 yards while Austin Jones rushed nine times for 33 yards.

Benjamin Yurosek finished with a team-high four catches for 42 yards.
