Two other interesting stats tonight ...
Time of Possession:Â Stanford: 21:27Â Â Oregon State:Â 38:26
>>>Â Tough to get the full benefit of wearing down the opposing defense if we let them rest for nearly 40 minutes.
Total Yards:Â Stanford:Â 273Â Oregon State:Â 288
>>> While Oregon State was inept running (24 carries for 17 yards - just 0.7 yards per carry) they still managed to outgain us in a tight game. Hard to blame the defense that performed so well for us but our offense deserves some blame for putting the game on the defense and keeping them on the field most of the game.
Ok ..... some days the defense carries the offense and this was one of those games. It's fitting that Shaw put winning the game in the defense's hands at the end of the game.
