Wow. If you look at the stats, they are almost identical. Both teams punted once, both teams missed a FG, nearly the same yardage. Kal with no TFLs, Stanford with some. Stanford, though, with more TOP and timely INT (Kal's INT was meaningless).
I think Scarlett's running at the end was so critical (especially that third down run to get us to 4th and 1), as was our passing/route-running/receiving, especially on third down. And that PI against Kal on that third and long was brobdingnagian.
A bit concerned that Laird (who impressed me) gashed our defense so badly; ND and hopefully SC will have much better running games. And I hope we continue to mix in TE play to expand our offense a bit. Would love to see some more Speights as well. But I am thrilled for the win.
