The Stanford Cardinal football program is a member of the Pac-12 Conference's North Division and represents Stanford University in collegiate football at the NCAA Division I FBS level. Stanford has a long and illustrious football history. The Cardinals are the team's current name,... Stanford uses an offense called "Air Raid" that combines elements from several different styles of football to create a highly effective attack for both passing and running the ball. Under head coach David Shaw, who took over after Jim Harbaugh left for the San Francisco 49ers, Stanford has resumed its place as a top-10 college football program. The team's first game under this new regime was a 24–7 loss at California on September 30, 2011. They have not lost since then, finishing with a 10–3 record and their first Pacific Division title since 2004. They played in the 2012 Pac-12 Football Championship Game where they lost to Oregon 42–14. The team advanced to the 2013 Rose Bowl where they defeated Michigan State 34–28 in one of the greatest comebacks in college football history. They have won at least nine games each year since their last losing season in 2003 when they finished 6–5. Stanford's average home attendance of 51,943 makes them the most attended football school in California and 9th overall in the country.
