After running a couple plays where they tried to center the ball, senior Emmet Kenney kicked a 39-yard field goal straight through the uprights to give Stanford a 26-24 win over Syracuse — its first conference win as a member of the ACC. But it is not just Ayomanor, Daniels or Kenney that should be given credit for Stanford’s victory.

Yes, Stanford and Syracuse are in the same conference, the ACC, thanks to realignment. The Cardinal went into Central New York on Friday and won their first ACC games, 26-24, over the Orange on a field goal as time expired. Stanford was lined up for a 34-yard kick but an offensive lineman flinched causing a five-yard penalty.
