Stanford prepares for road game against Duke after bye week

Stanford travels to face Duke following a bye week as the program looks to establish momentum for a potential bowl game run. The Cardinal hold a 1-1 record after a 37-27 victory over Hawai'i and a 45-6 loss to Miami. Duke enters the matchup with an undefeated record, having secured wins against Tulane and Illinois. Stanford faces the challenge of containing Duke running back Nate Sheppard, who has accumulated 374 rushing yards through his first two appearances this season. The upcoming game serves as a test for the Cardinal as they attempt to move past early-season inconsistencies and personnel absences. Wide receiver Caden High is expected to see an increased role after returning from injury, and the team remains hopeful for the debut of transfer wide receiver Nico Brown.
