STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — For 18 quarters this season, Stanford was as formidable as any team in the country with a 4-0 start, a top 10 ranking and a halftime lead at Oregon.
After getting blown out in the second half against the Ducks and losing their first game of the season, the 16th-ranked Cardinal look to regroup this week with a home game Saturday night against Southern California.
Coach Jim Harbaugh said Tuesday that his players were stung by the 52-31 loss to Oregon. But he says they came back this week with their best Monday practice in his four years with the Cardinal.
Harbaugh also says he does not know if receiver Chris Owusu will be available this week after leaving the Oregon game with a concussion. He says Owusu was symptom free Monday but it’s up to the doctors to clear him.
