PALO ALTO, California (Ticker) -- Randy Fasani is healthy again, and that's good news for Stanford.

Fasani passed for 232 yards and four touchdowns as Stanford opened the season with a 38-22 victory over Boston College.

As a junior, Fasani missed three games and the Cardinal (1-0) lost all three. But he spent the offseason rehabilitating a injured knee and threw for a score in each quarter as Stanford improved to 4-3 in season openers under coach Tyrone Willingham.

Fasani lifted the Cardinal into a 7-7 tie late in the first quarter with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Nick Sebes. Just over five minutes into the second, he found Ryan Wells for a 46-yard score that put Stanford ahead for good.

Kerry Carter ran five yards for a touchdown to make it 21-7 at halftime, but Boston College (1-1) closed within five points on a 45-yard field goal by Kevin McMyler and a 23-yard scoring strike from Brian St. Pierre to Ryan Read.

Fasani responded just 87 seconds later with a 69-yard TD bomb to Wells. He opened a 35-16 cushion with a 14-yard toss to Teyo Johnson midway through the final period.

St. Pierre completed 15-of-38 passes for 189 yards and three touchdowns and William Green rushed for 103 yards on 25 carries. But the Eagles (1-1) could not build on their season-opening 34-10 triumph over West Virginia.
