Football preview: Taylor, Wilkerson ready to lead Stanford’s high-powered running game
To say that the Stanford offense will have some new faces this season would be an understatement. With a new quarterback at the helm, young contributors at the wideout positions and some talented freshmen joining the offensive line, the identity of each individual component will remain uncertain until the team is tested in game situations. But the one thing that is neither new nor uncertain is the Cardinal’s unwavering trust in its running game.
Football preview: Workload only increasing for versatile fullback Ryan Hewitt
Stanford football’s “Mr. Do Everything” is going to have to do even more this season. Redshirt junior fullback Ryan Hewitt more than earned that label from head coach David Shaw in 2011.

Football preview 2011: Backs intact, but supporting cast untested
If you went looking for running back Anthony Wilkerson in the waning moments of Stanford’s close win over Arizona State last November, you’d find him taking a seat.
He wasn’t injured or surrounded by training staff. Nor was he in the stands to watch the action after the Cardinal went ahead 17-13 with just minutes to play. Instead, he was inbounds on the Sun Devils’ 4-yard line, with the ball in his hands and not a defender in sight.
