STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — When Andrew Luck arrived at Stanford in the fall of 2008, it had been years since either the Cardinal or Arizona had been to a bowl game.
Now the two schools are set to play one of the biggest games of the weekend in a prime time, nationally televised matchup that could have implications on who plays in a BCS bowl.
“Who would have thought it would be Stanford and Arizona playing in a big-time game a couple of years ago?” Luck said. “We try to get as excited as we can each and every game and treat them the same. But obviously, we’re human. That’s not going to happen each and every time.
“We do understand this has huge implications on the end of the season and the Pac-10. We’re taking it like a big game.”
