Stanford coach Taylor lauds improved depth as Cardinal open fall practice

STANFORD – When coach Troy Taylor held his first practice at Stanford last spring, he had only one healthy running back at his disposal.

So as the team finished its first practice of fall camp on Tuesday, Taylor was most pleased with the number of players participating.

“The depth is really huge for us,” Taylor said. “Even at the start of camp last year they were low, and then by the end of the year, you just don’t have any guys. So going into camp and having a lot more depth so you can practice more is crucial.
