Re: Halftime: Stanford 21, Arizona 3 -

Been watching the game with a nice crowd in Austin (about 20+)--that diving catch by Owusu was a clear highlight of the game, as well as the first Owusu touchdown. Â It got kind of comical in the fourth quarter when the "tight end" would line up behind Luck, split right, and then the running back of the moment would go for 3-5 yards. Â At that point, Stanford had to start running clock out--too many first downs and out-of-bounds plays kept this game going for a while.
Antolin, one of Arizona\'s backs, gashed the Stanford defense pretty well. Â He\'s got speed and size. Â Criner did some damage as well, though he was the target of a Stanford defensive highlight tackle that helicoptered his complete first down reception head over heels. Â Howell had another big hit that separated a receiver from the ball. Â
Good things from both sides of the ball though. Â Great statement victory over a closely-ranked team. Â Glad to see Bama (sorry Redrum) and Oklahoma drop into the realm of two-loss teams. Â Now we just need a lot of other teams to fall down in front of us.
