I feel frustrated as a fan but also sad. Hopefully not, but it does kind of feel like an era is ending.
Sadly, I think the era of Stanford football greatness ended with the last Rose Bowl victory following the 2015 season. This year, the team simply dropped from being "pretty good" the last three seasons to "not very good." Yes, injuries had a lot to do with the fall, but as others have pointed out, that's not the only reason. Plus, I'm not confident at this point that the injury issues we've had the past two years won't continue.
