While it isn't always true that Stanford gets SJSU's best game, it is somewhat entertaining (in a rueful sort of way) to reflect that Stanford's last two Rose Bowl teams lost to the Spartans.

I'd venture half the members of the board were formulating their arguments of similarity between the current team and previous RB participants as the game grew bleaker and bleaker on Friday. New QB replacing the top player in college from year before, losing to San Jose... Well, at least I was. The other half were probably developing their thesis on how Shaw is the second coming of T.eevens/H.arris and that disaster and irrelevance looms.

While I was pretty depressed Friday night, I'm growing more and more optimistic as Saturday approaches. Absent any new information, I've convinced myself that the OLine will gel, Nunes will be more confident and help the offense coalesce, and Skov will whip the front-7 into shape. I don't yet have an unsubstantiated reason to believe the secondary will improve, but I'm sure by Friday I'll have a great rationale why the performance against SJSU has prepared that unit to dominate the rest of the season!
