The excitement for the gridiron faceoff between the Stanford Cardinal and the Oregon Ducks on Nov. 7 grew during a noon rally in White Plaza and then continued to climb through the evening game. Cardinal fans cheered the team to a 26-20 victory over the previously undefeated Ducks. Photographers LINDA CICERO and AARON KEHOE  captured some of the festivities in this slideshow.
