EDIT: still, they don't look quite as imprecise as they did against Western Michigan (so far at least). Maybe this is post-hoc rationalization, but I think Stanford may have taken SC's best shot or close to it.

One of the advanced analytics sites, I can't remember which one but probably bcstoys, has or had a measure that's essentially "how well did this team play in this game?" I think it's essentially based on how well you're succeeding per play. I remember last year our game vs USC was in the top 10 for games played by any team. I think that, at the end of the year, last week's game is going to be in the top 10 for any game played by any team.

Part of my reason for thinking that is essentially the "successful play" metric. I believe I posted in the thread "USC hasn't had an unsuccessful play" sometime in the second quarter. I don't remember how long it took for them to have an unsuccessful play on offense, but it might've been in the 3rd quarter. In total they probably had less than 10. It was a truly spectacular game by them, and that's really frustrating to be on the other end of.


EDIT: A pick-six sure would've been nice for us last week...
