[quote author=Oasis link=topic=10786.msg100776#msg100776 date=1412464829]Why do we go to a prevent defense when we have stopped them all day?  They had three minutes.  Why not just play our usual defense and stuff them?

Actually, we were playing our usual defense. The clear defensive gameplan was to rush three, drop eight, and see if Golson could figure it out. It was a decentish gameplan, though it clearly gave up 23 points.*

Well, the commentators were saying Stanford was playing soft, playing back, not pressuring Golson.  It seems to me that giving him time to throw (at least on most plays) was our undoing.  I would've rushed five guys.
