Stanford Seeks Homefield Turnaround vs. Elon
15 Oct
Summary
- Stanford aims to improve home record after road struggles.
- Quarterback Davis Warren delivers deep passes for Stanford.
- Elon's Kamerin McDowell-Moore is a standout freshman rusher.
The Stanford Cardinal will attempt to right the ship on Saturday as they return home to face the Elon Phoenix. Stanford enters the game with a 2-4 record, having suffered consecutive defeats by wide margins on the road, including a 57-3 loss at Wake Forest on October 3rd and a 58-7 defeat against Notre Dame.
Stanford's recent road performance has been particularly poor, with a 14-game losing streak. However, the team has a more favorable history at home, winning seven of their last ten games. Quarterback Davis Warren has been a bright spot, connecting on six passing plays of at least 40 yards this season.
Running back Micah Ford is expected to be available for Saturday's game despite an apparent lower back injury sustained during the Notre Dame contest. For Elon, this marks their first matchup against an FBS opponent this season. The Phoenix currently stand at 2-2 in conference play and rely heavily on the rushing prowess of freshman Kamerin McDowell-Moore.
McDowell-Moore has been a dominant force in Elon's backfield, rushing for over 100 yards in three consecutive games and four of the last five. His season total of 916 rushing yards is the most by a true freshman in the program's FCS history.
