I can't remember where this was, but sometime this offseason I saw him make an offhanded comment about being at Stanford for four years. But who knows? We'll find out early in January.

CHanging direction of topic . . .
It seemed to me that we got to the line faster this game--at the 15 second mark on the play clock in the first quarter, and between 12 & 15 seconds thereafter. I also think we had zero delays of game, and "only" one time-out to avoid a delay. Any other observations on this?Â

I noticed that too. I can't remember a single play when we went down to a few seconds on the play clock, whereas that's usually a very common occurrence.

There were several plays where the offense let the clock run down to *deep* single-digits, but they looked more in-control than previously -- as if it was by design rather than a symptom of panic.

Yeah, there were some deliberate clock-bleeding snaps in the fourth quarter. But as mentioned before, they seemed controlled. Good for the offense; that's a fundamental.
Also yes, I think Stanford touched that onside kick first.

I believe that was his birthday tweet. Obviously, nothing definitive.

Some one please rewatch the 2H of this game and remind me of the details of Webb cursing out his WR... :)Â I'm surprised I haven't seen anything about it online!
