I'm not sure about the last time Stanford tried a fake punt. I remember an unsuccessful fake punt against UCLA in 2004. The snap went to one of the blocking backs, I think Jared Newberry, who tried to run but was tackled for a loss. I don't remember right now whether we've tried a fake punt since then.
I remember that fake field goal pretty vividly (luckily not the end of that game...), but I can't recall any since then. Of course, that was a little more significant because it worked and it was a touchdown. I do keep that having Lloyd as our holder would help our chances of running one successfully. He should be able to run or throw pretty decently.
