Chase Thomas and Trent Murphy, combined for one tackle between them.  If you told me before the game Murphy and Thomas would have one tackle and zero sacks between them, I would have doubted Stanford would win.

To me, the game MVPs on defense was David Parry or Alex Carter.  Parry had three tackles, a lot for a NT, who's job is to occupy blockers, and he really stepped up in the second half.  Carter had seven tackles, a pretty high number for a CB, because he largely shut down Melvin Gordon on the jet sweep that destroyed Nebraska.

Speaking of Carter, if he isn't on all the Freshman All American teams, something is seriously wrong with the selection procedure.  That guy is a stud.
