1927 Stanford

Ok, as promised, less SEC for a few days, especially since I'm still recovering from Saturday's game.

After earning a 7-7 tie with Alabama the year before, Glenn “Pop” Warner guided Stanford back to the 1928 Rose Bowl and edged Pittsburgh, 7-6. The nickname stemmed from his days at Cornell because he was the oldest member of the freshman class.
