The Cardinal has struggled at home in recent memory. Stanford has lost nine straight home games against FBS opponents. Their last home win however, was a stunning 15-14 win against Arizona State in 2022 where the Sun Devils were inches away from winning the game. Going back even further than that, Stanford has lost 15 of their last 16 home games against FBS opponents.
Virginia Tech on the other hand, has definitely underperformed from their preseason expectations. There were plenty of experts—myself included—who thought that Virginia Tech could go undefeated in non-conference play, and only lose a couple of games in the ACC to head to a big bowl game. That scenario is not as likely now. Primarily due to slow starts on offense, Virginia Tech got upset by Vanderbilt and Rutgers in their non-conference schedule.
David Bailey, a hybrid linebacker and edge rusher from Irvine is probably the most versatile player on the defense for the Cardinal. He sacked Kyle McCord twice in the big win against Syracuse, and has forced two fumbles on the year—one against Syracuse and one against TCU in week one. Passing the ball for Drones has been an entirely different story. Out of qualified quarterbacks in the ACC, Kyron has the third lowest yards per pass attempt with 6.8, only ahead of Grayson McCall and Ashton Daniels. That’s not due to Kyron completing a ton of short passes in high volume either, as out of qualified quarterbacks in the ACC, he has the fourth lowest completion percentage.
Despite having Elic Ayomanor on the roster, a top NFL Draft prospect due to his freak athleticism at the receiver position, Stanford has yet again struggled throwing the football. Ashton Daniels is not elite, and in all reality he could be the worst starting quarterback in the ACC, likely only trailing Brock Glenn or DJ Uiagalelei at Florida State. He completed less than 50% of his passes against Clemson, threw three interceptions, and averaged only 3.7 yards per pass attempt.
