If you can't knock the ball down, then just grab the receiver and get a pass interference penalty which would have only been a 15 yard penalty instead of a 53 yard gain.

The end zone PI against FSU near the end of the 1st half was a smart play. It turned what would have been a TD into a field goal.

I suspect some of our ACC opponents are just not used to travelling far for road games, so they might not be at their best at Stanford Stadium.

The game ended at 2 am EDT.

Yes except in the 4th quarter FSU was playing better than Stanford.  In the 4th we had 33 yards of offense total (27 running and 6 passing), punted on every possession, Elijah Brown went 1-5 with a sack, and we could not manage a first down when all we needed was one or two to run out the clock. I hate to see players get injured but Castellanos getting knocked out was likely the difference between FSU winning and losing, much more so than Gulbranson vs Brown.
