Stanford Upsets Syracuse With Last Second Field Go to Head to Death Valley Next Saturday to Play 15th Ranked Clemson

 

Not since 2020 has Stanford football won two games in a row
Only then in Shaw’s first losing season into a season ending losing streak go
The 2-1 Cardinal overcame jet lag in its first ACC away game
Against the Orange Stanford jumped to an early lead that they held until 3:13 minutes to play
The viewers at Muldoon’s were thinking an upset was coming their way
But McCord quickly passed the Orange though the Cardinal that had picked him off twice and registered sack number 4
And with a 15 yard pass the with 3:13 left the Orange would take the lead 24-23 with a TD and PAT score
Stanford got the ball back on its 25 on the ensuing touchback
Viewers on their seat edges hoping Taylor had the winning tricks in his sack
10 plays later capped by a 4th and 9 pass play to Ayomanor to the 34
With .03 left Kenney goes 3 for 3 in field goals for the upset winning score
Paraphrasing the idiom for Stanford Football “A penny for your thoughts”
To ask “Kenney if PAT’s and field goals to win games you have sought”
On September 28 Stanford travels to Death Valley not in the California desert
But to 15th ranked Clemson when visiting teams find losses hard to avert
Clemson destroyed the Wolfpack 59-35 with a strong defense
Coupled with an unstoppable score at will offense
And grabbing its tail to slow its offense down to cause an upset
May not be a wager on which you would want to bet
But hope of victory stands eternal especially when the libations and pub fare flow
At 4:00 P.M. at Newport’s Muldoon’s Irish Pub, 202 Newport Center Drive is where you need to go
Tigers may be fierce but they are too heavy to be climbing to the top of trees
If enough of us are there the Gods of Football may bless us with a 3rd win to see
Would like to have at least 15+ non Summer fans to move into the saloon at the patio’s side
Go Stanford! We loyal viral fans are worthy to enjoy a well-deserved upset ride
