Stanford has played at night ever since its season-opening loss to Northwestern in Evanston. However, against Colorado in Boulder on Saturday, the Cardinal will have to kick-off at 10 a.m. PST.

The Cardinal have swept their night games this season, despite cries from head coach David Shaw that he would like to play more day games.

With such an early kick-off, the Cardinal are reminded of the last time they played such an early game, the 16-6 loss to Northwestern in early Septemeber.

So how will the Cardinal cope with the early game time?

"We're going to move our game-day meetings to Friday night,'' Shaw explained, per the Contra Costa Times. "That will let the guys sleep in a little longer ... It's really all about hydration, sleep and food.''

For their part, the players seem to be excited about the day-game.

"Having an early (kickoff) is exciting for us, because a lot guys don't prefer late games,'' tailback Christian McCaffrey said.
