For those who would like to reflect on a better Stanford-UCLA match-up from years past, when we had a running back who racked up 263 yards vs. the Bruins, there's this gem from 2017.  It was Mora's last season, and his surrender cobra after Love's final TD scamper says it all.  

Bryce Love Highlights vs UCLA // 30 Carries for 263 Yards, 1 TD // 9.23.17 - YouTube

That was also the game when KJ Costello finally got a chance at QB after Chryst and Burns had been ineffective. Stanford won 8 of its next 9 games.

Yes, though I hate to say it, we were fortunate Chryst went down early in that game.  Costello gave the team a spark; and Bryce Love did the rest.

When the Curtice years exiled Stanford to the dumpster Cal Guy became Moses at Stanford. It took awhile (can’t remember how long it took Moses) but it paid off.

Time for another Cal Guy to part the Red Sea. But Pharoah has to be exiled first and would said Cal Guy even take on the journey? Or is Cal Guy waiting for Nebuchadnezzar to fail at the Hanging Gardens of Berkeley?

So Cal Guy #1 is Ralston (erstwhile player and assistant for the Weenies), while Cal Guy #2 must be Taylor (Cal player from 1986-89 and Cal assistant from 1996-2000).  One big difference: Ralston was around 36 when he came to the Farm.  Taylor is already 54, so the big question is how much longer he will be willing to wait for a Division I head coaching job.  He might jump on whichever opportunity presents itself first.  And I tend to think Cal would be willing to part company with Wilcox before Stanford would send Shaw out to pasture.
