I'm disappointed, of course, in our play, but perhaps what is most frustrating to me is that I don't understand what has gone wrong.  The offensive line is mostly the same people and the quality of its place has plummeted.  Why?  Losing is bad, but losing when you don't know the reason why is even worse.

Almost every game an announcer has said that our opponents are "out Stanfording Stanford."

I'll force myself to watch the second half.  Perhaps we will have another miracle--although the Utah defense does not seem like the kind to surrender a big lead.  But what I really want is understanding.

One thing I sense is that the toughness/physicality we developed under Harbaugh has seemingly petered out.  We are unable to "impose our will" on either O or D.  We have lost our mojo.
