Stanford loses opener to TCU at home as offense stalls after halftime

STANFORD – Stanford started its first season in the ACC the same way it finished its time in the Pac-12: with a home loss, as Texas Christian beat the Cardinal 34-27 Friday night at Stanford Stadium.

TCU outgained Stanford 457-281 but committed 100 penalty yards and lost two fumbles to keep the game close.

Wearing red jerseys and red pants for the first time since 2011 against Notre Dame, and sporting ACC decals on their helmets for the first time ever, the Cardinal fell to 0-8 at home under second-year coach Troy Taylor.
