That was the most of a Stanford football game I have seen since the last win vs. Oregon last year. The only reason I saw any of it was because someone asked me about what happened to Cal yesterday, and I checked the score to see they lost to Colorado. So I checked to see how Stanford fared against Notre Dame, and saw the game had just started. I thought it would have been an afternoon game on NBC, so decided to watch a little, flipping back and forth between Alabama-Tennessee on DVR.
Too many game management and play choices I didn't like, but a win is a win. As someone who didn't think Stanford would win another game this year after pulling defeat from the jaws of victory a week earlier, beating ND in South Bend showed a level of character that should make Stanford Football feel good about itself in a way it has not in a very very long time.
Is it something on which David Shaw can build a return to national relevance? Likely not, but it does show the Stanford Football program might not be completely dead yet, and might even be worth investing in.
