Quote:David Shaw's best call against Washington was inviting former Stanford two-sport star Tyler Gaffney to be the team's honorary captain.
A slashing running back who got stronger as the game progressed and left everything on the field, Gaffney played with a swagger and relished contact, dishing out as much as he received. As a senior in 2013, Gaffney rushed for 1,709 yards and 21 touchdowns.
"I wanted him up here," said Shaw, the Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football, following the Cardinal's inspiring 23-13 victory against the No. 15 Huskies on Saturday night. "This was going to be an attitude game and I couldn't think of a better person to come talk to the team, and he was awesome."
