Stanford football team head coach Frank Reich would speak candidly about the season opening loss to the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.

Stanford’s defense made some nice plays, including on Hawaii’s first offensive play, when Patterson strip-sacked Alejado, with Wilfredo Aybar recovering the loose ball in the end zone, which gave Stanford a 10-0 lead after the extra point.

Stanford fell 23-20 to the Rainbow Warriors on a last-second field goal as quarterback Ben Gulbranson struggled in his Cardinal debut.
