Josh Nunes is Stanford's new starting quarterback. Cardinal coach David Shaw announced Tuesday the junior beat out sophomore Brett Nottingham, ending a lengthy and close competition to replace the NFL's No. 1 overall pick and two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up Andrew Luck this season. Shaw informed both in his office before the morning practice. No. 21 Stanford opens the regular season against San Jose State on Aug. 31. After facing Duke the following week, a monumental matchup looms against top-ranked Southern California at Stanford Stadium on Sept. 15.
