How many rushing yards did we have in the second half? How many times was Love hit in the backfield?

I mean, if a team wants to play cover 0 all game and bottle up Love at the cost of giving up 300+ passing yards, 4 passing TDs, and losing by 21, I think we should be pretty okay with it.

Winning by a margin of 31-10 qualifies as "we smoke these guys."

We were clearly the much better team.

Once we decided to pass deep and often, yeah :)

Beat the spread (-13 or -14 depending on where you got your line), Connelly's S&P+ projected margin (12), and Sagarin's expected margin (17). It wasn't a flukey result; Stanford had about 1.4 yards per play more. Turnovers were even and if anything a bit unlucky for Stanford (it recovered 50% of fumbles; it converted 0/3 PBUs into INTs while SDSU got 1/4... which is mildly unlucky). Overall Stanford did a bit better than expected by the projectors.
