Think of that for a minute . . . 42-5! Really a stunning home record, isn't it? I did not realize how many wins had piled up over the years. How great has it been to have that kind of success at home?
[The turning point in our home field record actually was the final game of 2007, when we upset C.al in the Big Game. If we add that win to the total, Stanford has a home record of 43-5 since the last game of 2007.]
If I recall correctly (without resorting to any further research), those 5 losses have come vs. USC (2008), C.al (2009), Oregon (2011), USC (2014), Utah (2014). Last year's losses seem even more anomalous when you look at the recent record. 42 home wins since 2008! I am grateful for each and every one.Â
