The Stanford Cardinal have been the mark of excellence under head coach David Shaw and they look to continue that this season. The 2016 Stanford Cardinal Football Schedule is a tough one and features several key contests early in the season.

2015 record: 12-2, 8-1 Pac-12

2016 season win total: 9 wins (via South point in Las Vegas)

The Cardinal bring back Heisman Trophy contender Christian McCaffrey this season, he compiled better than 2,700 yards from scrimmage last season with 13 touchdowns. Stanford's big hole will be at the quarterback position as Kevin Hogan finally graduated and played his last snaps in college last year. Shaw and his program will no doubt be looking to continue the efforts from a Rose Bowl beating of Iowa, 45-16, last season.

The schedule has a tone of tough games, and several key ones on the road.
