Against ASU, Shaw reveals in his press conference. I noticed Lancaster was playing (and well), and more than I'd expect, but I hadn't realized Tarpley was never in. Apparently already feels better.
Tarpley had a concussion

That's too bad. When did he get it? Practice? Early in the game?
I usually watch the press conferences on Monday, so I guess I'll find out then.

One of the early ASU drives -- Reynolds and Tarpley collided.

Did anyone ever hear an explanation of that fumble recovery which was ruled our ball and then overturned on the field? They were driving down 31-14 and screwed up an exchange I think between Kelly and the RB. It really looked like Mauro was right on top of the ball before the pile-up and our guys ran off the field confident we had it.Â

We signed him thinking he would grow into the LB slot in college, but he was overshadowed in a dynamite 2009 class that featured Murphy, Stepfan Taylor, Mauro, Ertz, Toilolo, and some guy named Skov. But Jarek was rated higher than the last commit in the class, some obscure 2-star DE from Wisconsin.  Jarek came in listed at 205 but not many folks believed he was that big when he arrived. Now playing at 232 without any discernible loss of speed. Has logged enough playing time in three years to be considered one of the most reliable backups. Was quick enough to play the speed demons of ASU. And, he'll have a degree worth having at the end. Nice career.

Don't forget his contributions on special teams...a real Tasmanian devil on kickoff coverage.

I remember the play in which Tarpley suffered the concussion. It did look nasty.
I also would like an explanation for the overruled fumble recovery that should have gone Stanford's way. But iirc, the drive ended with a narrowly missed ASU field goal...so there's that.

I'm pretty certain Jarek Lancaster led the team in tackles in 2011. Not just a special teams stud, just playing on a very deep team.Â
Harbaugh had a great quote about him at the signing day that said something to the effect of "if the running back meets Jarek five yards downfield, five yards is all he gets."Â It's true, he doesn't miss tackles.

I'll add my voice to those seeking an explanation for the fumble "non-recovery". It was truly frustrating that the announcers on TV just blithely dismissed the seeming reversal of the outcome as the ref just pointing the wrong way. Just before that, as they reviewed the replay, they seemed to agree that Mauro had recovered the ball.
As a separate matter, it was pretty funny that Mauro did not seem to ever realize that he was lying on the ball! It would have been the first time I have seen an unintentional fumble recovery.

Yeah that was a bad effort by the announcers. Even worse was Brad Nessler's attempt to pronounce Owusu.

Honestly, I'm willing to start a kickstarter fund that Chris Spielman covers all our ESPN games. Name your price, ESPN.
