Ashton Daniels passed for 249 yards and two touchdowns and Stanford opened its season with a 37-24 victory over Hawaii.
“I learned a ton about our guys and we talked about that all week, that this was not going to be perfect,” Taylor said. “This was gonna be a tough game and there were gonna be times when we had to bounce back and they reacted. Very proud of our guys. Coaching changes are difficult. It’s a great feeling to get a win and winning on the road is not easy to do. Just real proud of our guys.”
Stanford got on the scoreboard with E.J. Smith’s 1-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter. The 12-play, 72-yard drive included a pair of third-down conversions, both of them coming on completions by Daniels. Stanford stretched its lead to 21-7 with 4:25 remaining in the first half. Bryce Farrell scored from 2 yards out on a jet sweep to culminate an 11-play, 66-yard drive that included three third-down conversions.
