Stanford tight end Sam Roush was in a team meeting on Tuesday when the topic of the Cardinal’s 9 a.m. Pacific Time kickoff on Saturday came up.
A teammate responded: “There’s no time too early to go run through somebody’s chest.”
“We’re not too worried about the early start time,” Roush said. “I mean, it’s football. We’re going to wake up and play ball. That’s kind of the attitude we’ve got.”
Stanford knew when it joined the ACC that it was signing up for increased travel and earlier kickoffs.
