Stanford gets a late TD from Micah Ford to avoid a 4th quarter collapse in 37-27 win vs Hawaii
Micah Ford scored his third touchdown on a 2-yard run with 1:41 to play and Stanford rallied after nearly blowing a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter to beat Hawaii 37-27 in the first game under new coach Tavita Pritchard.
In a close game against Hawaii, Stanford Cardinal quarterback Davis Warren threw for 310 yards and one touchdown in his debut, leading the team to a 37-27 victory on Saturday. The win marked the first game under new coach Tavita Pritchard. Hawaii tried to mount a comeback in the fourth quarter, scoring three touchdowns to turn a 23-7 deficit into a 27-23 lead.
However, Stanford managed to pull off the win with a crucial 31-yard return for a touchdown by linebacker Tevarua Tafiti, who intercepted a pass from Micah Alejado. Warren had a stellar performance, setting up Ford's first two touchdowns with long passes and going 5 for 5 for 58 yards on the game-winning drive. Alejado had a strong fourth quarter, throwing for 269 yards and two touchdowns, but his sloppy start to the second half proved costly. Hawaii lost their second consecutive season opener in the opener.
