“Obviously we have a very young inexperienced team, but they’re very hungry to play,” Taylor said.
Stanford head coach Troy Taylor talks to his quarterbacks during practice on the practice field at Stanford University in Stanford, Calif., on Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2023. STANFORD – A new coach, a new offensive identity and 16 new starters, including a QB making his first-ever start.
“I’ve coached at almost every level and played at all of them, and they’re really all the same once you start,” Taylor said. “The players are a little bigger and a little faster but you get nervous just like any other game, and then typically once you get started the nerves kind of go away and it becomes another game.
Taylor went 30-8 in three seasons at Sacramento State before arriving at Stanford, where he hopes his up-tempo style can spur an offense that sputtered by the end of Shaw’s tenure. Syracuse transfer Justin Lamson has been competing with junior Ari Patu and sophomore Ashton Daniels, who spent their Stanford careers backing up Tanner McKee before he turned pro after last season.
Overall, Taylor oversees a team that had 17 major contributors transfer out or turn pro since last season. Other than the defensive line of tackles Tobin Phillips and Anthony Franklin and edge David Bailey, the only other returning starters are tight end Benjamin Yurosek, receiver John Humphreys and center Levi Rogers, who was the right guard last season.
