Or the one sack Stanford did manage to scrounge up. Palma misses his first shot at him, so Darnold scrambles and losses 1 yard instead of 5. A little thing but illustrative.
Darnold is good at that. He moves in the pocket really well. And of course, we haven't had a lot of clean shots at him; their OL has mostly limited our chances to even get to the backfield, so our denominator is pretty small.
