STANFORD NOTES
• Winner of its last three games to close the 2014 campaign, including a 42-21 rout of Maryland in the Foster Farms Bowl, Stanford will christen its season on the road for the first time since 2009 (a 39-13 win at Washington State on Sept. 5).
• Stanford is 4-5-1 in its last 10 true road games to open a season. The Cardinal's last win on the road -- while ranked -- to open a season came Sept. 6, 1980, with a 35-25 victory over Oregon.
• Since Stanford's last game at Northwestern 21 years ago, the Cardinal has played contests in 13 different states (Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin) and won games in 10 of those.
