Tommy Vardell rushed for 1,843 yards with 37 touchdowns in his college career. He never fumbled once for Stanford, and ranks second in Stanford football history for most touchdowns and third for most rushing yards. Vardell set the record for most rushing yards in a season by a Cardinal running back, with his 1084 yards in 1991.^[1]

Stanford’s win over USC in October - its first over the Trojans since 1975, and only its fourth since 1957 - signaled a remarkable change in that rivalry’s competitiveness, as the two teams have shared wins roughly evenly in the succeeding years.
