Stanford >> Stanford snapped a six-game losing streak and won its first home game over an FBS team in the Troy Taylor era in improbable fashion.
The Cardinal overcame a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit and Emmet Kenney kicked a career-long 52-yard field goal as time expired as Stanford defeated No. 22 Louisville 38-35 on Saturday at Stanford Stadium.
Receiver Emmett Mosley V had the most productive game for a true freshman in program history, catching 13 passes for 168 yards and three touchdowns. He caught two fourth-quarter touchdowns in the final seven minutes as the Cardinal (3-7, 2-5) tied the game.
Stanford’s defense, which allows the most points in the ACC, turned Louisville (6-4, 4-3) over on downs at the Cardinal 45 with five seconds left.
Louisville committed a personal foul penalty on a 1-yard reception by Mosley to set up a 57-yard field goal attempt with one second left, and then a Louisville player jumped offsides to make it a 52-yard attempt. Kenney converted it on Senior Day to send the players and students storming onto the field.
Taylor improved to 6-0 after a bye week during his career at Sacramento State and Stanford.
Ashton Daniels threw for a season-high 298 yards and three TDs, while wildcat QB completed a 25-yard TD on fourth-and-1 with 45 seconds left to tie the game at 35-35.
The Cardinal had lost 12 straight games against FBS opponents at Stanford Stadium. Louisville’s previous losses this season had all been against AP Top 15 opponents.
Stanford plays Cal in the 127th Big Game next Saturday at Berkeley.
