Every time we see Andrew Luck, he seems perfectly content after one of the most shocking retirements in NFL history<\/a>. That continued on the sideline of the Stanford-Cal Big Game on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Now serving as general manager of the Cardinal’s football program<\/a>, the former Indianapolis Colts quarterback was on the sideline at Stanford Stadium and stood for an interview with the ESPN in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

The question: “We were talking about how important this rivalry is. For you, being able to be a part of it, how meaningful is it?<\/p>\n

The answer: “It’s huge, it was great to me as a player and now to be a GM and watch these guys. I’m going to watch here for second… oh, ball! GO JAY GO! GO JAY!”<\/p>\n

While Luck was in front of the cameras, Cal attempted a trick play on first down and lost the ball on a fumble by Cal wide receiver Jacob De Jesus. Stanford safety Jay Green picked the ball and ran it back for a 49-yard-touchdown, to the elation of Luck, who ended the interview early to celebrate with his players.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, that wasn’t the only fumble return touchdown of the second quarter for Stanford, who entered halftime up 14-10 despite getting only 71 yards and zero points from its defense.<\/p>\n

Luck is in his first full season on the job at Stanford and oversees every aspect of the program, from roster management and recruiting to logistics and fundraising. It’s a job that has become increasingly common in college football as NIL and revenue sharing become a central feature of the sport, and Stanford had a celebrated name ready for the job.<\/p>\n

Luck remained at Stanford through his senior year, becoming one of the most-hyped quarterback prospects in recent history while earning a degree in architectural design. He has remained close with the program ever since, especially after deciding to call it a career as an NFL player in 2019.<\/p>\n

He has explained the decision as a painful one<\/a>, but one he needed to make so he could focus on his family and break a cycle of painful injuries<\/a>. He seems to have done both so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every time we see Andrew Luck, he seems perfectly content after one of the most shocking retirements in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":308239,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[3680,159536,399,3686,159539,159538,398,396,397,99,11412,159535,159537],"class_list":["post-308238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-andrew-luck","tag-david-madison","tag-football","tag-indianapolis-colts","tag-jacob-de-jesus","tag-jay-green","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports","tag-stanford","tag-stanford-football","tag-stanford-stadium"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=308238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/308238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/308239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=308238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=308238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=308238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
