Sorry, but we suck. I know better than to give up on the season because of one ugly loss, but we certainly suck today.

We have had pretty lousy kicking under Fitz. So I ask again as I did for the WRs, is this coaching technique or is it recruiting?
Nu doesn't have a kicking coach but they do have a SB coach. Why?

Once again.... no pressure on the QB. He had a huge pocket and could just wait for his guy to come open.

There have been at least 5-6 flagged holding calls against stanford on the line of scrimmage.
Stanford has 6 penalties total and I remember at least one procedure call, so that means at a maximum there were 5 holding calls total. I distinctly remember one on a punt and two that were beyond the line. So, again, where am I wrong?

stanford OLine is really, really, superior.

Do you know how big of a advantage the Ol has with this kind of Time of possession difference? DL expend a lot of energy rushing the passer. When you are on the field this long , the DL is at a disadvantage. We need HJ to take us on a long drive that ends in a TD right now.

This is not ideal, but NU is closer than they deserve to be, and teams that have looked far worse have made similar comebacks in the past. Let’s spring a big play here and make it happen.

Yes, that because we declined several of those because they didn’t convert.

Man... if only Newsome could have returned that fumble all the way. That was a huge wasted opportunity.
