Montgomery does it all
I know it sounds like a stretch but Ty Montgomery might be the best open field player in college football.— Dave Flemming (@FlemmingDave) August 30, 2014
.@TyMontgomery, welcome to the wildcat. #gostanford— Stanford Football (@StanfordFball) August 30, 2014
If you missed it, here's Ty Montgomery's PR for a TD: http://t.co/BzAEqN8Nex— Kyle Bonagura (@BonaguraESPN) August 30, 2014
Ty Montgomery could start for some NFL teams. Against Davis, it's not fair.— Kyle Bonagura (@BonaguraESPN) August 30, 2014
Ty Montgomery is a cheat code— Rule of Tree (@RuleofTree) August 30, 2014
McCaffrey wows
Never satisfied. Onto the next one #StanU🌲🏈🙏— Christian McCaffrey (@CMccaffrey5) August 31, 2014
Oh so that's Christian McCaffrey.— Khalil Wilkes (@NoBull65) August 30, 2014
Christian McCaffrey, holy smokes. 53 yard TD catch on his first career play. Many more to come in his future.— Todd Husak (@ToddHusak) August 30, 2014
#ArmyBowl alum Christian Mccaffrey is making a name for himself this afternoon. He almost just returned a punt untouched for a TD.— #ArmyBowl (@ArmyAllAmerican) August 30, 2014
#Stanford football head coach David Shaw has high praise for true freshman RB Christian McCaffrey http://t.co/N20svaJ4iJ— Marcus Thompson (@ThompsonScribe) August 30, 2014
Christian McCaffrey stats in his first showing at Stanford: 1 rush 10 yds, 1 rec 52 yd TD and 3 punt returns for 60 yds. #copreps #9sports— Reno Boyd (@Reno_Boyd) August 30, 2014
Here is a better view of Christian McCaffrey's first touchdown (52 yards) at Stanford! It was also his first... http://t.co/5wfNGbR5pX— Valor Sports Network (@valorsportsnet) August 30, 2014
Just a hunch, that won't be the last TD of McCaffrey's Stanford career.— Bo McNally (@BoMcNally) August 30, 2014
Last (captain obvious) tweet about McCaffrey, but that kid is special. He's going to be a huge weapon for us.— Bo McNally (@BoMcNally) August 30, 2014
It's definitely going to be hard to keep McCaffrey off the field this year, hard to keep him off Heisman stage in years to come.— Go Mighty Card (@GoMightyCard) August 30, 2014
It's hard to believe there were people out there saying McCaffrey should redshirt this season.— Go Mighty Card (@GoMightyCard) August 30, 2014
I see you @CMccaffrey5 welcome to the farm baby!!— Ryan Hewitt (@Huey_85) August 30, 2014
The legend @CMccaffrey5 gets a 50 yard TD on his first collegiate touch...pretty average athlete— Joey Alfieri (@jalfieri4) August 31, 2014
In his first collegiate game, true frosh @CMccaffrey5 has the opponent punting away from him out of bounds. #cardclass14 #gostanford— Mike Eubanks (@maeubanks) August 30, 2014
Remember his name: freshman @CMccaffrey5. First career touch... Gone!
Proud pops @87ed is here today. #StanfordFamily #gostanford— Stanford Football (@StanfordFball) August 30, 2014
Next Up: USC rivalry renewed
USC ran P12 record 104 plays & scored 52 today.
Stanford pitched a shutout & allowed 2.3 yds/play.
Should be interesting next week.— JB Long (@JB_Long) August 31, 2014
So USC is rolling, hitting 51 pts before 4th Q. Do we starting thinking about the USC-Stanford matchup?— Ted Miller (@TedMillerRK) August 31, 2014
What I have seen from USC, & what I think I know about Stanford makes me really excited about next weekend. Significant national matchup.— Ted Miller (@TedMillerRK) August 31, 2014
