At this point I am not sure Stanford is going to win another game this year. In fact, it kind of looks like they are going to have to forfeit because they won't be able to put 11 guys on the field. But that was one of the most impressive performances by an undermanned team, and a bunch of untested players, that I have seen. This wasn't a classic upset where the lesser team wins because of fluke good luck, crazy risks paying off, and untimely injures to the favorite. Stanford was the team with the injuries before and during but still dominated this game: outgained UW by 200 yards, held the ball for over 5 minutes to seal it when everyone knew there was no way they would pass with a third string QB thrust into the game.
I assume the coaches had something to do with it.
