What Stanford brought into the matchup
In a September 28 pregame preview, Stanford reported that it had not lost the turnover battle in its first four games and had a plus-four turnover margin. The same preview said quarterback Davis Warren had thrown 143 pass attempts without an interception, then the third-longest such streak in Stanford history. These are figures reported before the Wake Forest game, not in-game statistics. Read Stanford’s preview.
