College Career
Pritchard received his first start at Stanford on October 6, 2007 in a game against top-ranked USC, after starter T. C. Ostrander suffered a seizure the week before the game. Though Stanford was a 41-point underdog, Pritchard led Stanford to an improbable 24-23 victory and earned the starting job.
Pritchard was replaced as the starting quarterback by redshirt freshman Andrew Luck during the 2009 season. After Luck injured a finger on his throwing hand and had surgery prior to the 2009 Sun Bowl, Pritchard started for the Cardinal. He went 8 for 19 for 118 yards and two interceptions in the 31-27 loss to Oklahoma.

Famous quotes containing the words college and/or career:
“When first the college rolls receive his name,
The young enthusiast quilts his ease for fame;
Through all his veins the fever of renown
Burns from the strong contagion of the gown;”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
