This morning, I feel a little more encouraged than I did yesterday. The defense did NOT embarrass themselves. I think it was a classic case of a team just getting worn down physically. There's no point in belaboring the offensive woes except to say that surely this is a learning experienced for AL. You just have to spend the resources to get a top QB.

I don't know if Stanford could have matched BYU for Bear or Auburn for Daniels (I suspect Daniels' decision to leave was less about money, but surely money was a factor). That's the point. It must be known across CFB that Stanford will not cheap out on the QB position in 2026 and beyond.
