Seriously!!!
57-3, with the 3 coming after a very lucky catch and run, and there is a thread about a concern. Wow! I would say we have become like NDNation except that NDNation is/was actually watching their team lose.
The defense was super. The pass protection was fine. It was game one for a new OL, and by college standards they were great.
As I put on my Rose, errr...."Hurricane" colored glasses, there were 47,000 people in the stands or in the shady parts of the stadium.
I know the there were some gaps in the stands, but there is an explanation. There were probably 42,000 in the stands, but there were easily 3,000-5,000+ in the shade. Sections that in the past were routinely wide open for games against UCLA or UW were packed for an opener, in the day, against SJSU. Amazing.
As the pollsters will not care to look into the details, the 57-3 win should put Stanford back into the top 5. And a stadium with fans in the seats will get Stanford into better prime time TV slots. That will be good for polls and Voldemort votes. It was a great day to be at Stanford Stadium.
BTW - Watch C.a.l vs Fresno State to see how bad first game play could be for a Pac-12 team.
