I strongly disagree about the pass defense. It was at its weakest not in garbage time but in the first half, when the game was at least theotericaly still on the line. Our front four didn't apply much pressure to the San Jose State quarterback, and the DBs were weak on coverage and terrible on tackling.

3 points!  I know last year was shutout city, but 3 points is fine.  By comparison C.al's offense literally GAVE 7 points to Fresno State.  The team snapped the ball during a double shift and the QB was not anticipating the snap.  So penalty and loose ball all in one play.  Then the RB got the ball and tried to make crazy moves 5 yards in the endzone.  Fresno State stripped the ball and recovered for a TD.  So first game glitches are relative.  USC won by 2 points.  Auburn needed a miracle rally.  Notre Dame was roughed up by USF.  And all three of those powers had those problems at home .

57-3 was a great score and the team showed very little. The game was never in doubt.  The first 3 and out on defense suggested that SJSU would not get more than 10 points.  And the first Stanford drive made it clear that Stanford would get 35 or more.

Once the outcome was clear, I am happy with the idea that scheme complexity was taken off the table.  57-3 classy, convincing record breaking win.  I would bet good money that UofA will see a more complex Stanford game plan.
