Lacy was impressive. But his offensive line was what made his big game possible- the ND running backs made nice first cuts as well, but then they cut into an onslaught of rushers. The Bama backs had to make one cut, and then daylight.

I think we would've kept this game closer than ND did, but a win would've required a lot of luck.

Also, the contrast between our players on the podium and everybody else's is immense.

(PS Musberger shouts out Stanford, along with Oregon and Ohio State, at the end of the broadcast tonight....lot of free publicity at the end of this season).
