I wasn’t sure where to post this or whether it was mentioned...
During Stanford’s second possession we were 4th and 2 from ~ Stanford’s 49 and “conservative, stubborn” David Shaw decided to “go for it.” I was at the game and it fired up the crowd. We were yelling louder than any time this year. And Scarlett bulled his way for a first down and we drove close to the goal line and got a field goal. From that point on the crowd was into the game in a big way. Then Shaw moved to a no huddle offense and we were left looking at each other in disbelief and started screaming support for Shaw. And Mills optioned and fooled everyone and ran the ball.
I think the gutsy play calling got the crowd and the team fired up and was a big part of us winning too.
