Well, NU kept its starting QB a mystery to give the offense an advantage vs. Stanford. I guess that didn't work: they had 79 total yards and got shut out in the first half as the Cardinal held the ball for a whopping 22:57.
Miraculously, the score is just 10-0 -- and probably would have been 7-0 if not for Earnest Brown's costly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty near the end of the half.
As for Hunter...yeesh. He is 1-4 for 3 yards with an interception for a QB rating of -18.7. That's MINUS 18.7. TJ Green came in on the last drive and gave the offense a spark. We'll see who comes out in the second half.
The defense played its patented bend-but-don't-break style -- the question is whether they bent too far. They missed a lot of tackles, and I'm sure it was due to fatigue as much as anything. On a hot day, we'll see if they can hold up in the second half.
