Two observations;

IMO, probably shared by everyone else in the stadium wearing a red shirt, Stanford was jobbed badly by the refs in the first half, I think the score should have been 17 - 3 end of the half without poor calls, hence clearly better. I might be wrong, have to get home to look at the recording.

But we still had the lead at the half and the ability to control the game.

But come the second half we had no plan, no concept, no nothing. A rudderless team slowly losing the game, and that's exactly what happened.  Coach Shaw had no idea what to do so he kept sending Gafney up the middle for two yards.  With four minutes left he is still at it, no doubt still hoping that our punishing run game will eventually tire the defense. 

A terrible job of coaching ...
